Death on a dude ranch forces a young woman to hunt for a killer--and watch her back--in this romantic thriller from a New York Times-bestselling author.
A timeless story of love, betrayal, and greed. Set against the alluring landscape of New Mexico, Castle Rock is fast-paced, edgy, and wonderfully atmospheric. --Hannah Dennison, author of the Vicky Hilly mysteries and the Honeychurch Hall mysteries
When tragedy orphaned Serena Mallory at twelve years old, Dan McIntire took her in, raising her at Castle Rock, his sprawling New Mexico ranch. She came to love her new home's idyllic charm, and rode horses along its sunny, winding trails. But now in her early twenties, Serena witnesses that charm quickly fade. One night, she hears Dan in a heated argument with someone, and the next day Dan dies in what is deemed a riding accident.
More trouble follows as a series of strange mishaps plague the ranch and everyone around Serena begins behaving suspiciously. Certain that something sinister was behind Dan's death, Serena attempts to find the guilty party--but she better move quickly before they find her first.
A thrilling mix suspense, romance, and mystery, Castle Rock is a page turner from page one through its nail-biting climax and very satisfying conclusion. I loved this book. --Lisa Seidman, author of Killer Ratings
Hart has created a clever and determined heroine. . . . Castle Rock is an exciting tale of intrigue, with more twists and turns than a steep canyon trail. And the ride is just as breathtaking. --Donis Casey, author of The Wrong Hill to Die On: An Alafair Tucker Mystery
A thoroughly enjoyable mystery that feels completely contemporary and yet will appeal to fans who feel nostalgic yearnings for gothic romance and suspense novels. --King's River LifeMagazine
