Dead by the Outlaw's Noose
(2025)(The eighth book in the Maddie Swallows Mystery series)
A novel by Kat Bellemore
Most honeymoons include romance and relaxation. Not murder.
When Maddie Swallows envisioned her honeymoon, she pictured a luxury resort nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Instead, she and her husband, Benji, find themselves in a dusty saloon in a town known for its old western movie sets, where daily bank robberies and staged shootouts are the norm.
Soon after checking in, Maddie and Benji stumble upon a man hanging from an old movie prop noose. Initially believing it to be part of the entertainment, they quickly realize the grim truth—the man is dead, and no one knows his identity or how he ended up there.
As the entire town of Dusty Ridge becomes a suspect pool, the local sheriff seems more concerned with preserving the town’s reputation than solving the murder. With time running out, Maddie and Benji must uncover the truth behind the murders before they become the murderer’s next victims.
Dead by the Outlaw’s Noose is the eighth book in the Maddie Swallows mystery series. If you love not-so-romantic getaways, quirky characters, and intriguing murder investigations, you’ll love this cozy mystery.
