Coffee Creek lawyer Alice MacDonald Greer knows a dangerous client secret when she hears one—especially when it disappoints impatient heirs.

Wealthy widow Ellie Windom asks Alice to help change her will, revealing she’s found her long-lost daughter, and hinting at valuable hidden art in Santa Fe. But there’s trouble with Ellie’s warring sons.

When Ellie is found dead at her ranch, her skull cracked—and a horse in the house—police can’t find a murder weapon and the obvious suspects all have alibis.

Determined to carry out Ellie’s final wishes, Alice races to find the hidden art, eluding intruders and carjackers. But who are the thieves trying to beat her to the hidden art? Is the art a treasure or a clever forgery? Is Ellie’s death connected to the murderous attacks on a lover from long ago? 

The search sends Alice and her companions road-racing up Santa Fe mountains, fending off attackers in Austin, and escaping across the Texas Hill Country…rewarded occasionally with some delicious barbecue.

 REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

I am new to this series but I will definitely be reading more after this. We follow Alice, a lawyer in Coffee Creek. Her friend Ellie comes to her with a story and a small change to her will. Before they can meet to get more detailed Ellie never shows. When Alice goes to check on her she is met by a horse in the house (this is a new one for me but very memorable I must say) as well as her friends dead body. When it is deemed murder she cannot help but to loom into things especially since she is the executor of the will. Then the story will have you hooked as something else happens on every new page. Alice is a fantastic character that is super easy to relate to. Made for quite the fun read. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
