When the tourist showboat The Branson Beauty runs aground on an Ozark lake, new sheriff Hank Worth is responsible for getting all the passengers off safely, which he does-all save one. He finds a murder victim in the captain's dining room, a beloved local athlete who wasn't even supposed to be on the boat. Now Hank must unravel her movements and hunt down her killer while navigating the cutthroat politics and dark secrets of the small town that he now calls home. In her first Sheriff Hank Worth mystery, Claire Booth weaves together a riveting crime novel with her signature combination of empathy and wit.
Touches of sly humor add appeal to Booth's standout debut . . . Betrayals within the sheriff's department and issues left unresolved hint at much more to come in what promises to be a most engaging regional police series. - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
