Gert Dooley can shoot the tail feathers off a jay at a hundred yards, but she wants rancher Ethan Chapman to see she’s more than a crack shot with a firearm. When the sheriff of Fergus, Idaho is murdered, Ethan is named his replacement. The women in town are scared to think a murderer is loose among them, so Gert forms the Ladies’ Shooting Club to teach them how to protect themselves, their … homes, and their families.
Ethan didn’t ask to be named sheriff, but he accepts the position and takes on the investigation of the former lawman’s mysterious death. Now he’s between a rock and a hard place—being pressured by the town’s women to restore order and safety to Fergus, and being pressured by the men who insist Ethan disband the upstart Ladies’ Shooting Club.
Another murder sends Ethan to Gert and her ladies for help in the investigation. But will the Ladies’ Shooting Club unmask the murderer before he strikes again? This e-book includes discussion questions for groups.

When a member of the club is murdered then another member’s business and home is set fire, the Club plays an …
Left the reader hanging was good so far as it went. A disappointment
Fun story about a man that really didn’t want to be sherrif. One woman could out shoot everyone so other women wanted her to teach them how to shoot a gun. Very enjoyable story!
Moved a little slow. Short read
Not very realistic.
I loved this book and the whole series. I read it long time ago and wanted to read it again. It’s that good. So is the author.
Author switched between Gert & Libby etc. lack of focus on a character list my interest. Plot moved slow. Skipped to the end & then glad I didn’t waste time reading
Excellent book
