Bet Rivers is a woman who has something to prove. I love a story where a character has the deck stacked against them. That’s where I found Bet. She’s following in her father’s footsteps as sheriff in a small town, and not everyone thinks she’s up to the task.

Small-town politics, secrets, and drama make for a story I can dive into. Atmospheric, tense, and propulsive. I enjoyed watching Bet get stronger as the book unfolds. Probably stronger than she thought she could be. I hope this series continues for a long time.

From James' list on books with kickass women characters.
