**Hidden deep in the ranch's woods sits an abandoned cabin with a century-old typewriter that seems to write stories by itself-stories about people who died violently on the land over the past 150 years. When guest Avery Doyle disappears during a moonlight trail ride and is found dead in the exact spot where others have died before her, Shelly realizes someone is using the ranch's dark history to hide modern crimes.**

**With help from ranch hand Miguel, local girl Sofia who can sense spirits, and her faithful beagle Bruce, Shelly must uncover the connection between Avery's death and a land development scheme threatening to destroy the ranch. But as they dig deeper into the mystery, they discover that some secrets are worth killing for-and that the next victim might be one of them.**

**Set against the dramatic landscape of West Texas, Murder at Whispering Spur Ranch combines authentic cowboy culture, supernatural elements, and a fast-paced mystery that will keep readers guessing until the final page. Perfect for fans of Nancy Drew and anyone who loves horses, history, and heart-pounding adventure.**
