Synopsis
In Murder, Sonoran Style, a survival test proves deadly for a property developer and dangerous for the survivors.
Gabe Ramsay left his position as a science professor in Colorado under a shadow, one he swore to keep secret. He escapes to become co-owner of Adventure Calls, an eco-touring company. During a survival test for Gabe and five new guides, he finds the body of the landowner—a hated developer. The man’s been stabbed with Gabe’s skinning knife.
Helped by Madrone, the tour company’s captivating chef, Gabe must discover which of the new guides—or Gabe’s new partner—might be a murderer. All had reason to despise the dead man, but who hates Gabe enough to frame him? Can Gabe find the killer before death again stalks the Sonoran Desert?
Dry humor, a drier desert, and a cast of quirky but believable characters heat up this new series.

"Kathy McIntosh… has made it her business to understand her uniquely Arizona setting and she pays artful attention to authentic low desert details."
—Arizona Daily Star
"The author easily creates fascinating and potentially deadly characters who move through this fast-paced and intriguing plot. We get the fun of trying to figure out who-done-it and why. The Sonoran Desert setting is especially well-described and informative without being pedantic. This is a terrific read."

"Loved this book! From the characters to the mystery, I couldn't put the book down. Awesome 'who dun it', filled with budding romance & wit. Highly recommend. Looking forward to reading the next one!!"

"I enjoyed the book and the development of the characters as Gabe and Madrone delve into their lives. It's always fun to have a murder victim that nobody likes and everybody had a reason to kill. There is plenty of intrigue, discovery of less than savory pasts, and a few budding romances along the way. If you enjoy a good, well-written cozy mystery with amateur sleuths and a unique location, you will enjoy reading this book. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author."
