About This Book

Everything can change … except murder.

In the television production world, a body brace is used to shift the weight of the camera to the operator's shoulder. 


This allows for smoother shots and reduces stress and tiredness. And, at the small-town Wyoming TV station KWMT, cameras are older and bulkier than those used in network news-gathering. Almost as old as some of the equipment used in a historical re-creation that draws Elizabeth and friends into another investigation. When there's rumbling underfoot, a body brace helps keep what's important in focus.


Body Brace, Book 10 of the Caught Dead in Wyoming series, is a smart, surprising, fast-paced cozy mystery with humor. If you like quirky characters, hints of romance and twists you won't see coming, then you'll love USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's page-turner.

What readers are saying about the Caught Dead in Wyoming series

"McLinn's mysteries set in Wyoming are addictive. The writing is excellent, the twists and turns keep the brain engaged, and Elizabeth's wry commentary keeps a smile on my face."


"E.M.'s internal monologues are sharp, snappy and often hilarious." 


"A terrific series with a western flair.  . . . Great characters that you would want as your friends. Smart, funny, but not perfect." 


"There's a real love for wide-open spaces in McLinn's writing, and it's a pleasure to visit the world she so beautifully creates. Can't wait for the next book(s)!"


"McLinn has created in E.M. a female protagonist who is flawed but likable, never silly or cartoonish, and definitely not made of cardboard."
