Publisher's Synopsis
The final book of the Trilogy Schoolmarm Sheriff, Sheriff Husband and Deputy Wife begins five years after book #2 My Husband's Dead Wife Lives left off. Colin and K. C. investigate the fire that burned down the Quebedeaux Hotel, claiming the lives of the owners: Amelia and Jean-Paul Quebedeaux. With their deaths, their three children become part of the McMaster household. Between the addition of the three grown and nearly grown young people, and the grief over the loss of Amelia and Jean-Paul, each member of the McMaster household is tested in new areas. The idea of love verses value is pondered through it all. While trying to make this group of people into a family, Colin assigns parts of the Lord's Prayer to each member, holding each accountable for his or her part of the prayer. Will Colin's and K. C.'s marriage be strong enough to endure all of this? The nearly burned diary in the ashes of the hotel seems to suggest that it was in fact arson rather than some tragic accident that claimed the lives of Amelia and Jean-Paul. But who in Semper's Pass would do such a thing?
