Take a neurotic woman with an attention to detail and throw her in the middle of a murder investigation on a farm and you get more than horseplay. Starleen Maddox is thrust—unbeknownst to anyone—into the lives of the Grayson family as they try to figure out who’s stealing their farm supplies and killing their horses. Add to the mix feuding brothers, family honor and a rich horse breeder from Texas, and nothing is as it seems.
Editorial Review:
Hand’s down the best part of my job is getting the opportunity to read what I consider gems; those books that might otherwise be overlooked at the inception of the authors writing career, whose only desire is to share their hopes, dreams, fears and captivating imagination with the reading world. An avid reader of suspense, I crave the unexpected twists and turns, the climactic shock and plausible connection to the characters.
“Morning Menace”, Armstrong’s first in her Menace Trilogy offers everything fans of mystery crave and more. Straddling the line between romance and thriller, “Morning Menace” is a striking debut for this previous author of romance. Teeming with treacherous twists, the grim—often unsettling—conflict is palpable. The intensity and inclusion of a character tangled in her own neurosis keeps the pages turning and the unexpected ending will surprise even the most adept amateur crime-solvers.
