Skip Case, by R. E. Derouin

The origin story--How They Met--which was more than a little creepy because David and Cynthia met when her husband disappeared. It is explained, at the end, that they dated for quite awhile before getting married to each other, which is good since the basis of this book is that Cynthia really loved her first husband; her going on dates with Dean just weeks after his disappearance rings a little off to me.

Anyway, the gist of the book was outstanding and complicated; I had no idea what was going on.

Mountain Ice, by R. E. Derouin

One of the books I bought last summer while we were in Ouray, and another in the series starring David Dean as the owner of a B&B in Ouray. This one is about a 19th century diary and a guest who appears to be trying to escape from an abusive husband. When the husband dies, there's no shortage of suspects.
