Bitter End by C. J. Carmichael
Bitter Roots Mysteries, Book 3
Tule Publishing (October 2, 2018)
Murder in a small town is always personal.
When a young mother is murdered in the isolated ranching town of Lost Trail, Montana, the father of her child is the first suspect. In this case, there are two: the biological father who hasn’t seen his daughter in over a year and the adoptive father whose life hangs in the balance as he struggles with cancer.
Zak Waller is Lost Trail’s newest deputy. He’s also locked in a power struggle with the town’s old-school Sheriff. If Zak solves this case maybe he’ll finally get the respect he deserves. But is he willing to tear a family apart in the process?

REVIEW
An engrossing mystery set in a small town with interesting and unique characters. I had a few guesses as to who the murderer was but didn’t see the twists that were coming. Long held secrets are in abundance in this town. This book is part of a series. It can be read as stand-alone but so much better when read in order. I highly recommend.

BITTER ROOT MYSTERIES SERIES
On the surface Lost Trail, Montana is a picture-perfect western town offering beautiful mountain scenery and a simple way of life revolving around the local ranches as well as a nearby ski resort. But thirty-year old Tiff Masterson and her former school-chum Zak Waller-dispatcher at the local Sheriff’s office-know there is darkness in this town, too, an evil with roots that neither of them fully understand.
