This series keeps getting better!

This is book 4 of the Anderson Chronicles, featuring Sheriff Peter Elliott and his crew. It’s part of a series, but each is written to be a standalone.

Nefarious Intent is set in mid-December in the Moonlight Mountain area of Montana. As the book opens, a grocery clerk is concerned that an elderly couple has placed a grocery order, but hasn’t come to pick it up. When a welfare check is made, they are discovered frozen to death in the kitchen of their remote cabin. Who did this? Why? When?

I love Karson’s books because they are cerebral drama. I dislike being spoon-fed. They’re also filled with richly drawn characters who are believable and authentically sounding; ordinary people doing ordinary things in a small town. There are also multiple subplots with many characters, YET keeping track of any of them wasn’t difficult. Karson imbues each with different voices, making each unique. Montana also features as a character; this time, we get to see the interaction of Montana winter with the plot. You’ll be excited to discover that Karson’s books aren’t formulaic. She mixes up the crime and the types of people who commit them. Each one feels fresh.

If you like to get wrapped up in a great whodunnit filled with embezzlement schemes, abductions, and murders written in a small town with a great cast of characters, this series is for you!

Karson plans on releasing two books per year. She has book 5 in the editing process and has planned book 6.

I was gifted this copy by Books Go Social and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

Book #4 in the Anderson Chronicles series. Each book could be read and enjoyed as a stand alone. In NEFARIOUS INTENT, the crimes seem to happening faster than the snow is piling up. Sheriff Elliot and his cast of friends, family and deputies are stretched thin as the winter holidays bring the tourists, and the criminals, into Anderson, Montana. The clues don't add up as deputies dig up the past and revenge becomes the #1 motive, maybe.
Kit Karson gives us a closer look at the personal lives of Sheriff Elliot and his deputies. There are plenty of open stories left to lead readers into the next book.......yes, please. The town of Anderson and the surrounding community will make excellent homes for the next round of Anderson Chronicles.
