By Sandra ParshallRachel Goddard, the local veterinarian, is once again trapped in the midst of murder. Her friend, Ben, has recently moved to town. When she stops by to check on his dog, Ben is arguing with Cam Taylor, the local newspaper editor. While driving home, Rachel notices Cam's car on the side of the road, hears a shot, and discovers Cam's body in the woods.
Later that morning, the Deputy Sheriff Tom Bridger drives to Cam's house to inform his widow. He finds her car out front, and the house on fire. Later, her body is recovered from the wreckage. Who would kill both the husband and wife within hours of each other? Rachel refuses to believe that her friend Ben had anything to do with it. Tom is not so sure, but has plenty of other suspects.
In the meantime Tom's ex-girlfriend, Lindsay, returns to Mason County. She just happens to be the Taylor's daughter, and will do anything to get Tom back. How much will she dig up in Rachel's past? And will it lead to the end of Rachel & Tom's romance?
These stories are turning into a Murder, She Wrote serial, but I still like them. I'm just glad I don't live in this county. Lindsay's character is over-the-top crazy, but that's what keeps this story interesting. I usually get bored with series since I get sick of the same characters (yes, I realize this is weird). I only wish she didn't become more compassionate at the end. Lindsay should have stayed crazy.
