Prime suspect: The most annoying man in Sherman, Wyoming That’s right, Thurston Fine, the egotistical anchor at KWMT-TV is the first person deputies want to talk to when his self-described biggest fan is found dead. What’s Elizabeth Margaret Danniher to do? The station’s in an uproar, heading for a train wreck, and desperately needs her experience and leadership. At the same time, here’s an intriguing puzzle right in front of her … which might free or condemn her greatest enemy. In TV news, cross talk between the anchor and reporter is supposed to elicit new and interesting information. But Thurston’s version twists the tale into a corkscrew. And his simmering resentment could bring danger to Elizabeth. Facing a true test of their resilience, Elizabeth’s crew – Diana, Jennifer, Mike, and Tom – must resolve mysteries swirling around KWMT-TV for years. But will that reveal what’s behind the death of Thurston’s biggest – only? – fan? Even amid the mayhem, the complex yearnings among the trio of more-than-friends take important steps toward resolution. The stage is nearly set. Family, friends, enemies mix together with a dose of a historical scam in a case of Cross Talk. Sleuth along with Elizabeth in the fan favorite Caught Dead in Wyoming series of smart, surprising, fast-paced, cozy mysteries with humor.

If you can look at a small town as a pressure cooker … this is also for you. Finally, while this does let you escape into another world, it does so in a thoughtful and sometimes hilarious way. And we can all use that.” “McLinn's mysteries set in Wyoming are addictive. The writing is excellent, the twists and turns keep the brain engaged, and Elizabeth's wry commentary keeps a smile on my face.” “There's a real love for wide-open spaces in McLinn's writing, and it's a pleasure to visit the world she so beautifully creates. Can't wait for the next book(s)!” “McLinn has created in E.M. a female protagonist who is flawed but likable, never silly or cartoonish, and definitely not made of cardboard.” AUTHOR’S NOTE Oops. Some reviewers are concerned that the Caught Dead in Wyoming mystery series is ending. Not yet! In fact, it will continue past Air Ready (Book 12), which will answer the Tom or Mike/Mike or Tom question. I’ve always said there would be at least 12 books. Beyond that it depends on people dying in mysterious circumstances in Cottonwood County, Wyoming, Elizabeth & Company’s penchant for investigating, and you all – the readers!
