In this the fourth showing of sheriff Joanna Brady she has her hands full locking horns with experienced detectives on the case and budget cutting county supervisors. When veterinarian Amos Buckwalter is murdered by arson, deputies immediately suspect Hal Morgan, whose wife, Bonnie, was recently killed by a drunken Buckwalter in a car accident. Morgan, himself an ex-cop, had been picketing Buckwalter's animal hospital, handing out Mothers Against Drunk Driving literature just before the vet's body was found in a burning barn. Joanna lets her own grief keep her from suspecting him and almost loses sight of the whole cases. Besides, the widow Buckwalter is strangely stoic, even getting a makeover and playing golf on the day after her husband's death. I enjoyed this more than the first three, we are starting to get a good idea of how Joanna is handling being a single mom, she is starting to see her relationship with her mother in adult terms even while being green with envy that her Mother getting on with her life.
