Sign Off (Caught Dead in Wyoming, Book 1)
Sign Off (Caught Dead in Wyoming, Book 1) | Patricia McLinn
2 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
Divorce a husband, lose a career …grapple with a murder. TV journalist Elizabeth “E. M.” Danniher will tell you she committed two sins — she didn’t stay young, and she made an enemy of a powerful news executive — her ex. She used to break national news. Now her top story as the “Helping Out!” reporter at dinky KWMT-TV in Sherman, Wyoming is getting a refund for a defective toaster. Tough, funny and determined, Elizabeth wrestles with isolation, keeping a professional edge, and an evolving self-image. Is Wyoming — the land of cattle, cowboys, tumbleweeds, and fewer than six people per square mile — her new home or a road to permanent obscurity? Soon she’s in a battle of wills with ex-football player turned journalist Mike Paycik, who sees her as a handy rung on his career ladder. And there’s the matter of a deputy sheriff—missing or murdered? Elizabeth finds herself investigating at the insistence of a girl who’s set on proving her father’s innocence. Not that enigmatic rancher Thomas Burrell makes investigating easy. But Elizabeth won’t fade to black without a fight, no matter how final some might want to make her Sign Off.

Ryan, bestselling author “Colorful characters, intriguing, intelligent mystery, plus the state of Wyoming leaping off every page.” – Emilie Richards, USA Today Bestselling Author “That was fun.” “Be prepared for lots of twist and turns.” “I read it in one sitting. I hadn't planned it that way, but just couldn't stop.” “The characters were a mix of funny, sad, and quirky and were totally believable. There was just enough humor to lighten the story, but not to disrespect the seriousness of crime.”

I really enjoyed this one! It‘s the first in the Caught Dead in Wyoming #series which follows EM Daniher, a newly divorced TV anchor who lost her sweet gig along with her husband. She is working off the rest of her contract with the network in nowhere Wyoming when a missing person case peaks her interest. This was well written, well read (I listened to the #audiobook), and I didn‘t figure out #whodunit before the end.

I started this #series on #audio recently. I‘ve been spending a lot of time taking care of my Mom and this has made the commute a lot better. Plus, maybe it‘ll help me not get so behind on my GR goal. Not a whole lot of time to read lately. #audiobook So far so good!
