About This Book
In the rough country of Wyoming, some cattle rustlers still get a death sentence.
Official consumer advocate and unofficial investigative reporter Elizabeth Margaret Danniher, her KWMT-TV colleague Mike Paycik, rancher Tom Burrell, and their supporting staff of idiosyncratic sleuths take on another mystery. A ranch foreman is found dead -- and, for most in Cottonwood County, the reaction is ... good riddance. Long considered guilty of a heinous crime, the foreman was represented then by a slick attorney, now owner of Lukasik Ranch -- once Mike's family land.
Suspects include the hot-headed Hiram Poppinger, fellow grazing association ranchers -- and Tom. This time, both Tom and Elizabeth are ordered by Tom's daughter to find the truth. The investigation puts Elizabeth in close quarters with Mike and Tom -- sometimes all three together -- and she realizes this love triangle also warrants a soul-search for deeper meaning.
Reaction Shot, Book 9 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:
"I have read every book in Patricia McLinn's "Caught Dead in Wyoming" series. Every one has been an excellent read, that I hated to finish. I will throw in an admission here: Old retired curmudgeon cops aren't supposed to like books with much romance in them. I could say that the romance is held to a minimum, making it acceptable. That wouldn't be completely true. I found myself as interested in the romantic tension between the characters as in the mystery itself. I always look forward to McLinn's next book and get it as soon as it is available."-5* Apple Books review
"McLinn has created in E.M. a female protagonist who is flawed but likable, never silly or cartoonish, and definitely not made of cardboard."-5* reader review
"Enjoy visiting Wyoming. Fabulous series! Great characters, keeps you interested, logical progression, good plots. Wonderful!"-5* Apple Books review
"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."-5* reader review
