One in a Million

By: Janet Dailey

Narrated by: Jack Garrett

It’s Texas-style drama, scandal, and corruption set in the world of ranching, when the death of a powerful man leaves families at odds, a high-stakes reining competition in the balance, and forbidden attractions in the mix …

Frank Culhane may be the wealthy patriarch of one of Texas’s most prestigious families, but his party-girl daughter, Jasmine, is only interested in the money the ranch brings in—and the cowboys. Until the day she heads to the stables in search of their hot horse trainer and instead discovers her daddy’s body in their prize stallion’s box stall.

Roper’s rodeo career was cut short by an injury. Now, he’s hungry to compete in reining events, like the prized forthcoming Run for a Million. In the meantime, until his family can afford their own breeding business, he’s got to work for the rich ranchers who snub them—including the Culhanes. But when an autopsy reveals Frank was murdered, Roper lands on the list of possible suspects.

City outsider Detective Sam Rafferty is propelled into a tangle of simmering rivalries as he undertakes the investigation. For the ranch is now in the hands of an explosive partnership: Frank’s young, glamourous second wife, Lila, and his scorned first wife, Madeline. Lila has a genuine passion for ranching. Madeline is determined to destroy her.

Through Sam’s interviews, more tensions surface—there are Madeline’s grown children who’ve been bypassed for control of the ranch, the socially dismissed McKennas, and the breeders, politicians, and neighbors ready to profit from Frank’s death. But tricky alliances are also brewing. While Lila and Roper clash, they discover a fire beneath their sparring. And with a killer still at large, the heat between Jasmine and Sam could put the case, and all their futures, on the line …©2024 Revocable Trust Created by Jimmy Dean Dailey and Mary Sue Dailey Dated December 22, 2016 (P)2024 Recorded Books

Leaves you wanting more!

So many questions left unanswered in the end. Where is the next book in this series?

Where’s book 2!!!!!

This book was great! I hope there is many more to come after this one!!! This would make the best series! The story line was great, the ending seems so unexpected and looking forward to the story continuing!!

Couldn't finish

Love Janet Daily and love Jack Garrett but I couldn't finish this book. Two many characters to keep track of and a subject of the wild animals was unnecessary. I wanted it to be a good horse mystery so it just wasn't interesting enough.

Very dull

This book was very slow. Lacked a strong story line. I kept waiting for it to get better but it never did.
