Secrets of the past are revealed as the intrepid threesome work to discover the truth. The Hilltop Ranch Affair will keep you intrigued and captivated until the last page.

I loved the setting of this story. I could just imagine being there, preferably when murders are not taking place. After the first person is killed, the intrigue begins. The MG&M Detective Agency team was there to investigate only because Major James Mallory was there for a reunion. This is a great read and I didn’t figure out who the murderer was until the author revealed it. I liked this one even better than the first in the series, so I can’t wait to read the third. I highly recommend this book.

I wasn't disappointed. This series is so much fun. I'm pretty good at figuring out who the murderer is but so far this author has surprised me and that's a good thing. I'm really enjoying this author.

A little slow to start, but great to the surprise ending!
