Welcome to Litsy!

Charli Rae Warren is back home in Hazel Rock, Texas, spending her time reading, collecting, and selling books�at least, the ones that don�t get eaten first by her father�s pet armadillo. Running the family bookstore is a demanding job, but solving murders on the side can be flat out dangerous . . . The Book Barn is more than just a shop, it�s a part of the community�and Charli is keeping busy with a fundraising auction and the big rodeo event that�s come to town. That includes dealing with the Texas-sized egos of some celebrity cowboys, including Dalton Hibbs, a blond, blue-eyed bull rider who gets overly rowdy one night with the local hairdresser . . . and soon afterward, disappears into thin air. Dalton�s brother also vanished seven years ago�and Charli is thrown about whether Dalton is a villain or a victim. After a close call with an assailant wielding a branding iron (that plays havoc with her hair), and some strange vandalism on her property, she�s going to have to team up with the sheriff to untangle this mystery, before she gets gored . . .
