For fans of Janet Evanovich, Sandra Brown, and C.J. Box — a complete Wyoming romantic mystery trilogy with a Grammy-winning heroine, a belt buckle, a dog named Louise, and the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. Maggie Killian used to be somebody. Grammy-winning country star. Multiplatinum album. A number one hit called 'I Hate Cowboys.' Then came the crash, and the long rebuild, and the antique shop in Texas that keeps her mostly out of trouble. Mostly. She drives to Wyoming in a vintage magenta pickup because she still has Hank Sibley's championship belt buckle — the one she stole when she left him fifteen years ago — and the plan, terrible as it is, is to give it back. The Maggie Killian Box Set collects all three novels plus the prequel materials (Buckle Bunny novella and Shock Jock short story) in Pamela Fagan Hutchins' beloved Wyoming series. Across three complete books, Maggie survives a stalker with an obsession wall, a forest fire, a bow-and-arrow confrontation on a mountain ridgeline, a revenge campaign by a woman she thought died fifteen years ago, a Texas Hill Country arsonist, and a murder in a ranch dead pile in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. Pamela Fagan Hutchins lives on the face of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming. These are not postcard mountains. They are the real thing, from the antelope hunts and ranch dead piles to the specific quality of light on the peaks at dawn. A dog named Louise protects Maggie throughout every book with supernatural ferocity. She is a series mascot and beloved by all. The series is complete with three novels plus the Maggie Killian Prequels. Start with Buckle Bunny to understand the belt buckle — or start with Live Wire. Either way, Wyoming gets under your skin. She had a Grammy, a dog named Louise, and a belt buckle she stole from the wrong man. The Bighorn Mountains were waiting. They always were.Zum Buch
