What did I like about the book?

Short story with rich characters! I was able to read it quickly. The author did a great job setting the stage and gaining sympathy for the main character. Women have intuition that we try to fight because of experience or not wanting to face the truth. That realness was represented well

I've never read anything by this author and she really made me feel like a part of Analyn's quirky family.Much like the main character, I have an opinionated grandmother  that speaks her mind and says embarrassing things that I can't prevent.

What did I not like about the book?

EXCERPT 

Nancy sat in her mom’s office in the basement of the courthouse. Carter and Lyle each flanked the doorway. “I don’t understand why I can’t know the identity of the person you found.”

“We have to notify next of kin,” her mom said.

“But you always tell me about your cases.”

“Things are different this time.”

“Why?”

“This isn’t a case of stolen license plates, Nancy.” Carter crossed his arms.

“Duh. But I don’t see how that matters.” She made a silly face. He was supposed to be on her side, but it seemed whenever it came to a police matter, he chose to side with her mom. Then again, her mom was his boss, so she couldn’t really hold it against him.

“Now, Nancy.” Lyle shook his head. “You’re given a lot of leeway here, but you have to admit most of the things that come through this department aren’t life and death. This case is different, and you need to stay out of it.”

Nancy crossed her arms. “Fine.” If they were going to gangup on her she’d move on. “What about the investigation into Amelia’s mom. I could help with that.”

“Actually,” her mom said, “that’s a good idea. We have our hands full with this other case. I’ll forward you anything we learn.”

She loved...and lost.

Ruby Jane never thought she'd meet the man of her dreams while running from the police in Russia. That he'd steal her heart on a train to Siberia. But loving a former CIA officer comes with a price...a life of danger. A life of high stakes.

A life where he simply disappears...

He has no memory of the man he was.

Mack Jones has no memory of his past...just the dark sense that he is hiding. And, he wants to stay that way. Mack likes the life he's built in a small tourist town, tucked away beyond the mountains, and has no desire to dig around in the gray areas of his memory.

When his place of business catches fire and Mack rescues the owner, he makes the news, which of course alerts the past he's hoping to outrun.

The only person who can help him is a mysterious woman he doesn't remember.

But a woman he desperately needs.

The surprising, thrilling conclusion to the Montana Marshall series.
