Throwing Shadows by Claire Booth. This is Book 7 of A Sheriff Hank Worth Mysteries, The mystery portion of the book was a solid police procedural with great suspense, twists and turns, and a light touch of dry Missouri humor. Since this was the first book that I read in the series, I confused as to the backstories and histories of the main characters. However, the characters were presented in a manner that has made me curious about them and wanting to search out Sheriff Worth series' backlist. An entertaining read.
Thank you to the author, Severn House and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

When a hiker stumbles from the woods raving about a dead man, Sheriff Hank Worth launches a search. Near the infamous landmark of Murder Rocks a Civil War era hideout for ambushers who robbed and killed passing travelers they unearth two bodies and a skeleton. Local legend says there’s caches of stolen gold buried in the area. And thanks to some recent nationwide publicity the Ozark backwoods are now swarming with out-of-town treasure hunters, who have little concern for Hank’s murder investigation. With the clock ticking, Hank must identify the victims . . . and the killer. But could the new pursuit of long-lost plunder really have led to multiple deaths?! Good book! This book had great suspense, murder, mystery, intrigue, and a few shocking moments! The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
