O knihe

2023 Oklahoma Book Awards Finalist A captivating tale of humor and mystery by an award-winning author. After her father's death, a creative, free-spirited young woman plans to leave her Oregon ranch and hometown of busybodies. But she didn't count on a corpse in her shop--or murder. Forced to create friendships with strange, crabby, or too-helpful neighbors, she must face a murder charge and confront aching childhood memories in a town and a life stuck in the past. Lexi DePriest has always been a loner with a sharp wit and lack of concern about fitting in. If she could quickly sell the family ranch--her father's life's work--she'd get out of the Oregon valley, but life has never been easy. When her crackpot neighbor shoots the drone she uses to check fences and cattle, a battle begins. Nosy eyes in the tiny community are watching, some malevolent--and dangerously nearby. With no explanation, a man is found murdered in her shop, and the trust she's built in herself and with a few townsfolk unravels. It takes a crabby school secretary and a Scottish welder to secretly examine murder suspects. The investigation gives her a rare choice to fit in to the home where she's always lived--but will she choose community, family, or herself? -------- Hardly Any Shooting Stars Left is a cozy western mystery, but it is also so much more. This story, while filled with suspense and intrigue, also offers humor, tension, a fast-moving story line, and the emotional struggle we have with forgiveness. Truth and grace abound in this new novel from award-winning B. K. Froman.
