"Connie Shelton gets better with every book she writes."--The Midwest Book Review

New, in the #1 bestselling Samantha Sweet mystery series--Sweet Payback!

Revenge is often a cold dish, but in the tiny northern New Mexico town of Sembramos emotions are running decidedly hot. When Lee Rodarte and Jessie Starkey, convicted of murdering a local girl, are released from prison after serving only a few years, their convictions overturned, the town’s old pain rises to the surface and tempers flare. Samantha Sweet has her hands full with Easter at her pastry shop, Sweet’s Sweets, while her husband, Taos County Sheriff Beau Cardwell, is charged with keeping order among the two hundred residents of Sembramos. Topping it off, as part of her sideline job, Sam is assigned another house to break into and must drive to the huge abandoned mansion daily, right through the small war zone where payback seems to be on everyone’s mind.

Praise for Connie Shelton’s previous mysteries:

“Shelton continues to combine suspenseful storytelling with sensitive portrayals of complex family relationships.” —Booklist

“Shelton again has done a superb job in bringing New Mexico to life.” —Albuquerque Journal
