Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...especially a dead one holding a grudge. Back on Deadwood's list of usual suspects, Violet Parker is hip deep in wild frights and fired-up females. After juggling bitter threats, haunted buildings, and vengeful ghosts, the last thing she needs is a pair of bullheaded detectives trying to pin another murder on her tail. Can Violet find the real killer before she ends up behind bars? Or worse, on a slab at the morgue.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 131
Normally, not even drunk on a bet would Violet Parker go to Slagton, a creepy ghost town inhabited by those too stubborn - or deranged - to leave. But a certain bullheaded Deadwood detective has a problem - his informant from Slagton has gone missing. When Violet is shanghaied into taking a hunting trip to the ghost town to search for the missing snitch, she stumbles into trouble that will take more than a double-barreled shotgun to escape. Will Violet survive this new hell that haunts her, or will she end up on Slagton's growing list of those "gutted and hung"?

It's not really about the boots … or is it? Boot Points is a set of short tales about Violet Parker's purple boots. It is set in the story time between the third and fourth books in the Deadwood Mystery series. Each tale not only explains more of Violet's history, but also shows the role each character plays in Violet's life. In addition to this short story, there is a deleted scene from Nearly Departed in Deadwood, the first book in the Deadwood Mystery Series.

Another Solid Entry
Good entry with the tv show focusing on more of all of the ghosts in Deadwood. A lot of the background information becomes more important as the series continues. As always, I love the characters and the stories, but some of the sex is a little much. The narrator is great and helps keep the suspense and supernatural aspects strong.

Good but...
I usually love these books, but this one was so incredibly boring and hard to get into for the first 3/4 that I almost did not finish it. Seriously, I the whole thing could have been five-ten chapters. Seemed like this was just a broken out pie've fluffed up with nonsense for the sake of making money. Disappointed. If if the next one has the same stunt, I won't read another.

Violet becomes a Grim.
If you could sum up Meanwhile, Back in Deadwood in three words, what would they be?
Funny. Enjoyable. Cliffhanger.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Meanwhile, Back in Deadwood?
I love a good Halloween costume party.
What does Caroline Shaffer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She is good, no complaints.
Any additional comments?
There is an ongoing story line about something supernatural going on in Deadwood. After 6 books we still don't know exactly what it is. The stories are good and the characters are a lot of fun.
