The Lawman's Legacy

3.75
A very good cozy mystery about a small town in New England. Merry is on the run, and Douglas isn't about to let her run alone. He realizes she's hiding something from him, and after a murder and an attempt on her life, he makes her tell him. Now he's got to keep her safe...

I will say that Douglas was superhumanly reasonable for a man whose best girl keeps stepping on his ego. :) I have not known very many men that wouldn't take off eventually after her prickly behavior and continual lie about her past.

Apparently the murder mystery is strung throughout the six books of this series, so I will just have to keep reading.
