About this listen
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 more than 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?
Perfect for fans of the British television film Broadchurch.

Great small town mystery!
As a growing fan of narrator Andrew Eiden, I was happy to find this series. I enjoyed all the mysteries so far. Unfortunately, I'm bummed to see that book 4, Bitter Sweet, does not have an audiobook version ): I love the author and narrator of this whole Bitter Roots series! I do highly recommend listening to the audiobook if mysteries are your thing!
