Summary
2019 Next Generation Indie Book Awards: finalist in historical fiction
2019 New Mexico/Arizona Book Awards: first place in the mystery/crime category
2019 Hillerman Award for Southwest fiction
In an exciting new historical mystery series, award-winning author Kari Bovee brings the beloved American icon Annie Oakley into the world of mystery and crime as a plucky, amateur sleuth.
Fifteen-year-old Annie Oakley is the sole supporter of her widowed mother and two younger siblings. An expert markswoman and independent spirit, she hunts game to sell to the local mercantile to make ends meet instead of accepting a marriage proposal that could solve all her problems, including the impending foreclosure of her family's farm.
After a stunning performance in a shooting contest against famous sharpshooter Frank Butler, Annie is offered a position in the renowned Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Finally, she has a chance to save her family's farm and make her dreams come true.
But after her catapult to fame, a series of crimes takes place in the Wild West Show, including the death of Annie's Indian assistant. The coroner claims the death was due to natural causes, but Annie is unconvinced. Then, her prized horse Buck - a major part of her act - is stolen, and she realizes that someone is out to get her.
With the help of a sassy, blue-blooded reporter, Annie sets out to find her horse, solve the crimes, and clear her good name, before everything she's worked for is destroyed.

Brilliant
I was so glad that this started just how I imagined it to. Annie is back with her sidekick buck. This is a really emotional one to listen to but also filled with action of shooting at the shows. You love every character that appears apart from Twyla and Lily. There was characters that appeared from the past too which made me incredibly nervous.
Frank and Annie’s friendship grows with bumps along the way and you hang on to the will they won’t they. My heart broke for Kimi. There was so many mysteries in this left to solve. What did happen to Kimi? What was happening to Buck?
I loved how the chapters started with a reference to a newspaper with the date and the time too allowing you to follow the time line. Annie is such a strong character that wants to do right by anyone and also the determination to support her family back home. I did have my heart in my throat every-time the shooting with the cards were in play. What would happen if someone missed?
These books are so fun, serious and warming and heartbreaking. It’s so easy to fall in love with the plot of the story even if it is a bit of a roller coaster. The narrator holds your attention with such a calming way. I cannot wait to finish the other audio’s to this series. I’m just glad I now know what happened as I listened to shoot with a gun first.
