This was given to me by a friend to Bookcross. It is however in pretty poor shape. Quite readable, but in sad shape. I have offered it to a Bookcrosser who has it on their wishlist since it is readable.

From the Publisher
Sheriff Joanna Brady is juggling a precarious overload in both her personal and professional life. The sudden death of her much-loved neighbor and handyman, Clayton Rhodes, creates further turmoil, leaving Joanna shocked, saddened, and the target of Clayton's irate and irrational daughter who accuses the Sheriff's Department of covering up a possible murder.

Soon Joanna discovers that investigating family hostilities is leading her down a twisted trail of hatred, greed, and far-reaching consequences into a dangerous world where violence is the first response and long-buried secrest are a reason to kill...or die.

Joanna Brady series: Book 8

I really enjoyed this book. I am finally getting to the place where I like Joanna Brady as much as Jance's protagonist from her other series. I can't wait to see what happens to all the characters.

From goodreads.com
A missing teenager and an octogenarian found dead of apparently natural causes are pretty run-of-the-mill cases in Bisbee, Arizona, where Sheriff Joanna Brady is focusing on the last-minute details of her upcoming wedding. In this latest outing in Judith Jance's Brady series, the connection between the two events is a thin one. In the author's capable hands, however, it's enough to drive this well-plotted mystery to a credible conclusion.
