When she's not writing clever mysteries about Denver antiques-dealer Jason Lynx under her A. J. Orde byline, or knocking out science fiction as Sheri S. Tepper, B. J. Oliphant creates plausible, likeable stories about a Santa Fe guest-ranch proprietor named Shirley McClintock. Her latest in that series involves a young couple spending money as if they were going to die tomorrow--which they do, leaving Shirley to find out why.
Book Description
WHEN MURDER PAYS A VISIT, THE HONEYMOON IS OVER.
They were scarcely more than children, these lovebirds lying dead in a New Mexico canyon. Shirley McClintock, owner of the Santa Fe guest ranch where they were staying, is baffled by the tragedy. Especially when almost everything about the couple turns out to be false, except the thousand-dollar bills they spent so lavishly.
Who were these mysterious newlyweds, and why are so many people looking for them? Shirley finds out the hard way--after more murder and the resurrection of an excruciating tragedy from her own past. . . .
"Shirley's a winner, and so is Ms. Oliphant."
--The New York Times Book Review
