With the flue clogged and desperate to make a fire, he climbs up to the roof, only to find the body of a teenage girl wedged into the chimney. When Sheriff Martha Ettinger and her team arrive to extract the body they identify the victim as Cinderella “Cindy” Huntington, a promising young rodeo star, missing since November. Was Cindy murdered? Or running for her life—and if so, from whom? Cindy’s mother, Etta, hires private detective Sean Stranahan to find out.

The fourth book in McCafferty’s mystery series features a brisk, savvy plot and charming yet authentic characters—perfect for fans of C. J. Box and Craig Johnson. Angie's Comments: This is the fourth in the Sean Stranahan mystery series, but as usual, it is the first book I have read in the series. The Tipton library does have some of the other books in the series, if you prefer to read the books in order. This book is sad and hopeful at the same time. I figured out some of who were involved in the disappearance of Cindy, but not exactly what they did to cause the disappearance. I love the characters, some of who are definitely characters!
