Land Grab - The Anderson Chronicles 1

Formats: E-Book, Audio, Paperback, Hardback

Ages: 18+

A grisly murder shatters the tranquility of a small Montana town.

Arriving early one morning to open for business, the baker’s wife walks into a bloody scene, a body, and a missing husband. Later that afternoon, a beloved town patriarch and sapphire dealer is found hanging from the balcony in his historic mansion. On first observation, it looks like suicide. An autopsy points to murder. Further investigation reveals the victim’s inventory of valuable sapphires is missing. Are the two deaths related?

An invasion of Russian Mafia thugs and a string of threatening notes complicate matters. Sheriff Peter Elliott and his crew, more familiar with wayward cows and drunken brawls, dust off their investigative skills and hurry to solve the case before more town folk fall victim.

Land Grab by Kit Karson is a fantastic thriller, one of the best murder mysteries I have ever had the pleasure to read. This mystery perfectly captures the essence of small-town living, and the descriptive writing transports you there. This is compelling reading, a fun whodunnit with plenty of action, a very clever plot, and twists and turns that take you down many dead ends before the truth comes out. The characters are masterfully developed, and you can’t help but like them, especially the sheriff. This is a captivating story that will enthrall you from start to finish, one of those unputdownable books that you’ll want to read in one go. Highly recommended for all fans of murder mysteries. I’m really looking forward to the next book.

“Yellowstone” Collides With Russian Mob In Montana-Based Mystery "Karson’s prose is sharp, her dialogue punchy and her imagery vivid. The town of Anderson comes alive through her words, from the historic houses along the main street to the Montana wilderness where unknown entities lurk in the shadows. Add to that a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the book’s nitty-gritty details — everything from fly-fishing to sapphire formation to what vertebrae shift in a hangman’s fracture — and you have yourself the fix to your murder mystery craving"
