The Desert Moon Mystery

The Canneziano twins return to Desert Moon Ranch, and the desert itself seems to hold its breath. Years ago, their mother Margarita loved and lost there, her heart broken by Sam Stanley, the ranch's proud owner. Now Danielle and Gabrielle walk back into a landscape thick with old grievances and unspoken accusations. The housekeeper Mary senses trouble the moment news of their arrival spreads through the adobe walls. Then the bodies begin to appear: three murders and a suicide, one victim a beautiful girl with a secret she took to her grave. No clues, yet clues everywhere. The heat of the day gives way to dangerous nights where suspicion moves like a snake through the ranch's quiet corridors. Strahan weaves romantic heartbreak into her puzzle, creating a mystery where every broken relationship might be motive and every whispered conversation a potential confession. This is 1920s atmospheric detection at its finest, for readers who want their puzzles served with passion and pain.
