Springtime in Laido

Description

She was such a nice young bride. Nice. No better way to describe her. She apparently has no enemies, yet she dies in a blizzard—stabbed to death. The murderer strikes twice more, and county sheriff Min Archer, our aged heroine, is frightened and frustrated, for she cannot find him/her. Yet the culprit lives in Laido. Tired of mooching a typewriter from the newspaper every time he comes to town, the circuit judge sends Min a typewriter. Infernal machine…. It’s a love-hate relationship from the get-go. The new newspaper editor/reporter, Ned Hammond is certain Min is sleeping around in order to get and hold her job and is constantly snooping about to find out who the corespondent is. Harry Heinlein, the town sot, goes a step too far, and rancher Cleve Jones insists his daughter return home to run the ranch. Yes, this is the young lady to whom deputy Ben Peters has taken quite a shine. Min eventually uncovers the culprit, but she may be a minute too late.
