The Johnnie Baker series follows a former actress who takes on the unexpected role of sheriff in Tenoclock, a small Colorado town. Johnnie Baker was appointed to the position rather than elected, and the books follow her as she grows into the job while solving crimes that disrupt the town’s quiet surface.
The two novels in the series blend mystery plotting with the social dynamics of a small Western community where everyone has an opinion about their new sheriff.
