In Aggie Mundeen's second mystery caper, Aggie and friend Meredith persuade Detective Sam to join them incognito on vacation at a Bandera, Texas dude ranch. Aggie will advise her column readers how to stay young and fresh outdoors in summer. But they encounter problems. Former ranch owners were found dead after changing their wills. Ranch manager Bertha is jealous of her young assistant. Aggie and friends get a crash course in oil drilling, water shortage and the perils of bequeathing land while they deal with wranglers, snakes and poison ivy. When an expert rider is thrown from her horse and lies hospitalized in a coma, Aggie is convinced somebody caused her to fall. Secrets are buried in these eighteen hundred acres. Despite Sam's warnings, Aggie concocts ingenious methods to expose the girl's assailant. Aggie wants to please Sam--she thinks she loves him--but curiosity drives her to probe deeper. When she scatters a hornet's nest of cowboys, more than one hombre in the bunch would like to slit her throat. nancygwest.com and stayyoungwithaggie.wordpress.com
