Despre această carte electronică
Samantha finds herself trading high heels for cowboy boots as she heads to a dude ranch, but a murder mystery lassoes her in…
When fashionista Samantha Kidd’s father-in-law arranges a week on the dude ranch he’s aiming to buy, Samantha preps for blue skies and clean living. But all too soon she learns life on the ranch is anything but calm. When the owner is found dead inside one of the stables, all signs point to murder.
As Samantha wrangles clue after clue, she smells something rotten—and it’s not manure. In her quest for the truth, she encounters quirky cowhands, brazen barrel racers, and suspicious horseplay—not to mention a social paradigm straight from the eighteen hundreds.
Can Samantha bring justice to the wild west of eastern New Jersey, or will a renegade ranch dweller get away with murder?
Ranch Dressing is the fifteenth humorous Killer Fashion cozy mystery featuring amateur detective Samantha Kidd, although each book in the series can be read as a standalone.

If you like fair-play whodunits, secrets from the past, and dude ranch life, you’ll love this funny, fish-out-of-water mystery. Yeehaw!
