About the book: Cici Wilde, owner of Cici’s Vintage Clothing in Grace Gulch, Oklahoma, is delighted when the centennial of Oklahoma statehood brings additional business to her store. Events take a tragic turn when an actor dies in the reenactment of the town’s most famous gunfight. Cici’s sister Dina and her childhood friend Cordell Grace are among the suspects. Will Cici and Audie Howe, director of the town theater, solve the mystery in time to prevent further tragedy?
My Review: This is such a fun book. I personally found it to be very original, I have never read a mystery quite like this one before so that made it all the more enjoyable. Cici runs a vintage clothing shop and so there are fun descriptions of the clothes throughout, a bit of a love triangle, and current mystery alongside an older mystery. Franklin’s prose is solid as well, which as you know for me is very important! I highly recommend this book for lovers of cozy mysteries, westerns, and fans of a good story. This novel is available through the Heartsong Mysteries book club. You can find out more information about the Heartsong Mysteries book club by visiting Heartsong Mysteries.

GUNFIGHT AT GRACE GULCH by Darlene Franklin is a delightful story! I loved getting to know Cici and the rest of the quirky cast of characters. Oh, and those handsome cowboys.:) Franklin weaves a good cozy mystery here. I wasn’t able to solve this one until close to the end. Highly recommended!
