Hot Roll (Caught Dead in Wyoming, Book 8)

One of their own becomes a target...

A voice on the phone says Jennifer's best friend has tragically died in a fatal fall at a national park. Her certainty that it was no accident starts TV reporter Elizabeth Danniher, with friends Mike, Tom and Diana plus the rest of the Caught Dead in Wyoming crew, on an investigation that moves faster -- and closer to them -- than any of them could ever expect. They've barely had time to catch their breath since the events of Cold Open and now one of their own becomes a target as they race time and a murderer before this Hot Roll burns them all.

... In TV news, Hot Roll can simply mean cutting away from an interview to "b-roll" (scene-setting footage) ... or it can mean the adrenaline-pumping drama of broadcasting live because there's no time to do anything else. Mix in murder, a little humor, a trace of romance, and you're on your way with the Caught Dead in Wyoming sleuths for another great adventure.



Hot Roll is Book 8 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Caught Dead in Wyoming cozy mystery series. If you like quirky characters, hints of romance, and twists you won't see coming, then you'll love this page-turner.



"Colorful characters, intriguing, intelligent mystery, plus the state of Wyoming leaping off every page." -- Emilie Richards, USA Today bestselling author

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



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



"I love the whole series Caught Dead in Wyoming. The writing is witty and sharp; the story is gripping; and the characters are so realistic. Even the supporting characters are fully defined and interesting. What I didn't expect was a renewed appreciation given by this "inside" view of the world of journalism. With all the current focus on Fake News, I loved being reminded of how vital news people are to our society. E.M. Danniher changes her community and certain individuals - for the better - due to her dogged pursuit of truth and justice."



"I confess to being addicted to this series and characters. I LIKE them. I wish they were real."



"E.M.'s internal monologues are sharp, snappy and often hilarious."



"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 "
