Saddled with Death: An historical cozy mystery

By Irene Sauman

It's 1873 on the Murray River and while Emma is well aware that death is just part of life's process, helping her friend nurse her terminally ill mother on their neighbouring sheep station wasn't supposed to be accompanied by murder. But was it such a surprise? The tension among extended family members should have been a warning, and despite their desire to blame horse thieves for the death they're the ones with the motives. So when Margaret Macdonald fears her husband is the killer and begs Emma to investigate, how can she possibly refuse the dying woman? After all, she's known the Macdonalds for most of her twenty-five years and granting Margaret a last wish is the least she can do to put her mind at ease as to the fate of her family. But can she reveal the secrets lurking amidst the lies and clear George Macdonald of the murder?

Emma's questions soon have her stepping on toes. Is she about to lose her lifelong friends as well as fail in her mission? But when her probing forces a deadly reaction she realises none of it will matter if she becomes another victim
