Review: Long Time Gone by Mary Connealy

My rating: 4 stars / I really liked it

Synopsis

The Boden clan thought their problems had ended with the death of a dangerous enemy, but have they truly uncovered the real plot to take their New Mexico ranch? Rancher Justin Boden is now in charge. He is normally an unshakable and rugged man, but with his brother, Cole, shot and in mortal danger, even a tough man faces doubts. And it doesn't help that Angie DuPree, the assistant to the doctor trying to save Cole, is as distracting a woman as Justin ever laid eyes on.

With her and the doc's timely skills, Cole looks to be on the mend, and Justin and the rest of the Bodens can turn their attention back to the dangers facing them. It's clear now that everything that's occurred is part of a much bigger plot that could date back to a decades-old secret. Can they uncover all the pieces before danger closes in on them, or is the threat to the ranch even bigger than any of the Bodens could imagine?

My Review

It had been a while since I read the first book in the Cimarron Legacy series, but the author did a good job of catching me up, woven into the action-filled beginning, right where the previous book left off. This time we get the perspective of Justin and Angie as they work with the other Bodens and friends to solve the mysterious attacks on their family. There is quite a lot of investigation mixed in with various attempts on the lives of Justin, Cole and Sadie. Their parents Chance and Ronnie are in Denver while Chance recovers from his broken leg, and letters fly back and forth as they are updated on the danger. More leads are opened up and bad guys taken down, but the big picture answers are saved for the third and final book.
