"Death Comes in Pairs" by Loretta Jackson and Vickie Britton is a true “Cowboy Caper”. The story takes place in 1888 in the small town of Ellis Crossing. Jack Liege is the cowboy hero and the suspected bad guy. Jack arrives in town after being acquitted of murdering two men on the last ranch he worked. He looks forward to a clean slate but soon finds himself in trouble again. After an innocent barroom card game and a trip into the mountains to search for sheep, Jack is once again the suspect in a murder case. The main characters are Tobe Kranston, a rancher who befriends Jack, the McGarwin brothers who are the murdered men, Sanger and Laird who are the mystery men and Vida Wray, the woman he loves, and Dale Willis, the town lawyer in love with Vida. The sheriff is sure Jack is the man responsible for the murder of the McGarwin brothers and the recent fires on Kranston’s ranch and is out to prove his theory correct.

"Death Comes in Pairs" is a history lesson, suspense story, mystery and a light romance book. Jackson and Britton have written a book that emotionally attaches you to each character, captures your imagination and pulls you right into the story. "Death Comes in Pairs" had me staying up way too late to discover if Jack was the man “who did it” or the “innocent victim”. "Death Comes in Pairs" is a five star book that I would love to see as a movie. Jackson and Britton have surely made a winner.
