Double Back

This is the latest book in Shannon Baker’s Kate Fox series! Against the background of her diva ex- mother-in-law and her entitled ex-husband she goes through the daily life of being a sheriff in the Nebraska Sandhills. When Newt and Earl, the trash picking Vietnam vet brothers, show up in town unexpectedly clean, Kate discovers that a woman is behind it. Kate makes it her mission to identity her home and return her to it while trying to solve the mystery of who is sabotaging her re-election campaign. Hilarity ensues, and the reader is left uncertain whether Kate will continue as sheriff or return to the ranching she loves. Highly recommend this book for a great read!

Shannon did a great job in this well-written narrative with a solid multi-plot scenario that kept me immersed in all aspects in this story. The mystery was nicely done with a few red herrings that kept me in the game. When I thought I knew what was going on, the author changed directions, more to the delight of this reader. Boasting a great supporting cast, engaging dialogue and just being with the Fox Family, this was a terrific read and I look forward to the next book in the riveting series that will grip you by the horsehairs.
