The discovery of human bones near a remote New Mexico mountain village sets a worried sister on a treacherous path to solve a murder.
About the Book: Bethany
Jarviss heads to the mountains of New Mexico to support her frantic sister,
Joni, whose fiancé, Matt, might be a murderer. The bones of a long-missing young
woman, Krystal Decker, have been
found by hikers. Matt, who was engaged to Krystal in the past, swears he
thought she left him to pursue a singing career.
Now, as news
of the murder swirls, the newly engaged couple get ready to open their
bed-and-breakfast inn for Christmas. As Bethany meets the village locals, she
finds that plenty of people besides her future brother-in-law had motive for
killing his beautiful, thieving, secretive first fiancée.
For her
sister’s sake, Bethany turns amateur detective and won’t stop asking questions
until she discovers the killer’s identity!
Our Review: This intriguing fast paced mystery involves the unmasking of who murdered a troubled young woman. As the days go on, the list mounts. The Southern New Mexico setting becomes a character of its own, one which is vividly portrayed as a small town on the verge of fading into nothingness. As well, Bethany is especially well drawn, someone you’d want to call a friend—as well as a sister. Cannot wait for the next book in this interesting series.
Based on a scale of 1-5, The First Fiancée merits a 7.
