Timber and Trouble (Elsie Hargrove Historical Mysteries Book 1)

About

Elsie Hargrove has never been good at following rules. Especially ones she didn’t get a vote on.

Cascade Bay in 1893 is a timber boomtown. By day, Elsie Hargrove runs its finest inn and tavern. By night, she’s organizing the town’s women to get the vote.

But when the town’s loudest anti-suffrage windbag turns up dead at her doorstep, the handsome new sheriff starts asking questions that could unravel everything she’s fighting for. To protect her friends, Elsie must find the killer before he does.

She’ll have to outwit, outmaneuver, and outrun the men in charge of this town. Starting with the sheriff, who is proving difficult to fool—and ignore.

Fans of Kerry Greenwood’s Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and Deanna Raybourn’s Veronica Speedwell will love this frontier mystery with a feisty fearless heroine and a slow-burn spark.
