Broken Dishes by Earlene Fowler

Continuing on the Benni Harper mystery series, Benni finds a body on a trail while helping a friend get her dude ranch started. Ford Hudson is back and still annoying Benni’s husband Gabe by hitting on her. This time though Benni admits that Hud is a distraction and a temptation but Gabe is still the number one man in her life. The mystery takes 2nd place to the interpersonal relationships in this book but it’s great to see Benni and Gabe develop into stronger characters.
