Rapid Death (The Desert Pines Mystery Series Book 2)

Description

After a year marked by murder and mayhem, Dr. Jane McLaren is ready for a little normality. Life may not be perfect, but between two careers, good friends, and more than enough family, she finally has everything she needs to stay out of trouble.

Things aren’t always as they appear, though. Not even in the sleepy resort town of Desert Pines, Oregon, where the bodies are stacking up again like so much cordwood.

Jane is called out to examine the body of an unpopular whitewater rafting guide, whose murky identity and odd behavior have sparked an almost supernatural dread in the residents of Desert Pines. Faced with an increasingly hair-raising mystery, Jane must partner with Detective Joe Connor once more to catch a killer. But can she solve the case before anyone else gets hurt? Or will her own trauma get between her and the truth?

Fast-paced and twisty, Rapid Death delivers a tight mystery, non-stop fun, and a heartwarming look at what it means to stop outrunning the past and face the present—just as it is.
