When Earl Alden is found dead, dangling from a wind turbine, it's his wife, Missy, who is arrested. Unfortunately for Joe Pickett, Missy is his mother-in- law, a woman he dislikes heartily, and now he doesn't know what to do-especially when the early signs point to her being guilty as sin.
But then things happen to make Joe wonder: Is Earl's death what it appears to be? Is Missy being set up? He has the county DA and sheriff on one side, his wife on the other, his estranged friend Nate on a lethal mission of his own, and some powerful interests breathing down his neck. Whichever way this goes . . . it's not going to be good.
My thoughts
Joe Picket’s mother-in-law is arrested for the murder of her fifth husband, Earl Alden. Earl, a wealthy landowner was found hanging from one of the wind turbines, he was having installed on his property. Although this is the eleventh installment of the Joe Pickett mysteries, this is the first that I have read. Since not knowing the character and his background, I found the descriptive narratives of Wyoming life intriguing. Not the most suspenseful of stories, but still enjoyable nonetheless.
Disclosure: I won this book from Murder, Mystery & Mayhem: A Resource for Readers.
