Body Brace

Caught Dead in Wyoming, Book 10

By: Patricia McLinn

Narrated by: Betsy Moore

Everything can change…except murder.

In the television production world, a body brace is used to shift the weight of the camera to the operator's shoulder. This allows for smoother shots than might be obtainable by handheld operation. Braces also reduce stress on the arms, which reduces tiredness and muscle cramps during filming. And, at the small-town Wyoming TV station KWMT, cameras are older and bulkier than those used in network news-gathering. Almost as old as some of the equipment used in a historical re-creation that draws Elizabeth “E.M.” Danniher and friends into another investigation. When there’s rumbling underfoot, a body brace helps keep what’s important in focus.

After some upheavals in Elizabeth’s professional and personal life in Wyoming, not to mention those of her closest friends, she has some recalculating to do. With her former KWMT colleague Mike now at a Chicago TV station and tech whiz Jennifer also in the city on a visit, Elizabeth’s investigation of a death discovered at the historical reenactment relies on a widening team of fellow sleuths. And rancher Tom Burrell and the usually forthcoming Mrs. Parens - two of the town's most solid citizens - are keeping their distance. Temporary or permanent?

Body Brace, Book 10 of the Caught Dead in Wyoming series, is a smart, surprising, fast-paced cozy mystery with humor. If you like quirky characters, hints of romance and twists you won’t see coming, then you’ll love USA Today best-selling author Patricia McLinn’s pause-resister.

Critic reviews

"While the mystery itself is twisty-turny and thoroughly engaging, it's the smart and witty writing that I loved the best." (Diane Chamberlain, best-selling author)

"Colorful characters, intriguing, intelligent mystery, plus the state of Wyoming leaping off every page." (Emilie Richards, USA Today best-selling author)

Great stories

I have enjoyed all 10 books and look forward to more. I think Betsy Moore does a great job as narrator.

Another great addition

Patricia McLinn has done it again with the latest addition to the Caught Dead in Wyoming series. All the usual characters are present as well as a great mystery to solve.
Betsy Moore as always gave a standout performance as she breathed life into the storyline and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I highly recommend this book and series to cozy mystery fans and look forward to the next in this great series.

Never disappoints!

Just love this series! I often listen twice back to back to be sure I got all facts! I want to be friends with Elizabeth and her group!!

Good characters

The narrator really makes this series a winner. Good plot, great characters and a dog too!

Nothing

Why did the voices change so much with the same person? Story is good as always.
