Danger on the Ranch

I really got into this book! I wasn't prepared for a really nasty & vile man as the serial killer though! This author sure made him mean! I can't imagine growing up with a brother like that but that's what Mitch Whitehorse had to do with his brother, Wade. The glimpses we saw into Wade's character as he was growing up sure made you not surprised that he became a serial killer! Mitch became a US Marshall and when he finally put away Wade in prison, he thought things would get better and he could live a quiet life but then Wade escapes and Mitch's life is thrown into an uproar again. This time, however, he has to deal with Wade's ex-wife and her toddler son. He has never believed that Jane was innocent in Wade's crimes but now that there is a child involved, he will do everything to protect them. There was SO much action in this book and I couldn't help but be on Jane's side as she repeatedly proclaimed her innocence. Her little boy, Ben, was such a sweet child too. Trying to rebuild your life after a horrific experience & relationships is so difficult but the author told it in a realistic manner. I had a hard time putting this book down and highly recommend it! A wonderful story with great secondary characters too!
