Scarlett Dunn’s standalone novels show two sides of her writing. Christmas at Dove Creek (2016) fits within her Western romance specialty, delivering a frontier love story with a holiday setting and inspirational themes consistent with her McBride Brothers and Langtry Sisters series.
Murder on the Bluegrass Bourbon Train (2019) is a different kind of book altogether. Set in modern-day Kentucky rather than the Old West, it is a mystery centered on a murder aboard a bourbon-themed train. The shift from historical Western romance to contemporary mystery surprised some readers, but it reflects Dunn’s willingness to try new territory.
