About this book

- [x]

A murdered father. A haunted ranch. The headless horseman rides again… and this time, it’s personal.

When Elise Richardson returns to her family’s Texas ranch after her estranged father’s fatal riding accident, she expects grief—not whispers of murder. But in Las Palomas, a town where ghosts are real but rarely dangerous, rumors swirl around the Double R Ranch. And all signs point to El Muerto, the legendary headless horseman, as the prime suspect.

Absurd—until Elise witnesses strange sightings, uncovers chilling clues, and takes part in an eerie séance that suggests something far more sinister is at play.

With help from childhood friend turned rugged ranch manager Diego Juarez, Elise sets out to uncover the truth. Romance is the last thing she expects—but amid cryptic journals and buried secrets, sparks begin to ignite.

Then Diego’s alibi begins to crack… and Elise is forced to ask herself the unthinkable:

Is the killer a ghost—or someone she’s falling for?

★ A chilling blend of romance, mystery, and supernatural suspense, Death at the Double R will keep you guessing until the final page. ★

Perfect for fans of ghost legends, southern gothic suspense, and slow-burn romance with a paranormal twist.

Death at the Double R is a great read. I loved that it includes the legend of El Muerto, the headless horseman. The book has a great balance of romance, mystery, and action and a well-developed plot. The gradual progress of Diego and Elise's romance felt realistic and not rushed. I liked all of the characters and the relationships between them. ) 2 people found this helpful

I loved Robin’s new book! The characters quickly became my friends and I couldn’t wait to turn each page to see what happened next. The writing is very smooth and easy to read so it reads quickly with lots of suspense and just enough romance to keep you wanting more. I would like to see a Double R or Las Palomas series. There is enough character development to support both. ) 2 people found this helpful
