Back Story (Caught Dead in Wyoming, Book 6)

Even long memories fade, but murder never dies.

Elizabeth "E.M." Danniher has been among TV journalism's elite. But divorcing her network exec husband ends not only her marriage but her career, and she's banished to tiny KWMT-TV in Sherman, Wyoming, to finish out her contract. Now she's exploring what comes next - in her career, her life, and her relationships with family, friends, and those who'd like to be more than friends. But she's not being left in peace to wrestle with these issues because she keeps being drawn in to murder investigations.

Now Elizabeth, and handsome KWMT colleague Mike Paycik, rugged rancher Thomas Burrell, and her colorful cast of collaborators, plunge into mysteries from the past that threaten the present. To succeed, they must untangle characters and plotlines from a long-hidden Back Story.

What readers are saying about the Caught Dead in Wyoming series:

"A terrific series with a western flair. . . . Great characters that you would want as your friends. Smart, funny, but not perfect."

"Hoping this series lasts forever "

"McLinn has created in E.M. a female protagonist who is flawed but likable, never silly or cartoonish, and definitely not made of cardboard."
