Falsely accused… Can she escape the real killer? In this second installment in the Gold Country Cowboys series, farrier Ella Cahill is accused of murder—and only former marine Owen Thorn, her brother’s best friend, can help clear her name.

But can they work together to find the true killer before she becomes the next to die?
My Review:
"Treacherous Trails" by Dana Mentink is the second novel in the "Gold Country Cowboys" series and is filled with lots of twists and danger. It could be enjoyed as a stand alone because it is Owen and Ella's story.
I liked this story better than the first one, but they are both wonderful books.
This story really had me surprised at the ending, well both books in the series did but this really did have me surprised and shocked at who the guilty person was.
This is a story of danger and violence but is more a story of loyalty and love between family members and childhood friends. It is also a story of how some vices such as love of money and gambling and fear of others can make you do evil things.
Ok, this part is a little personal to me and my family and might be a little bit of a spoiler alert but there was one scene that really made me want to stop reading this book because of the fire and talk of the characters maybe dying of smoke inhalation. I won't say anymore on this except to say I can't say if these characters died or not and that I'm glad I finished the book.
In this story both Ella and Owen learn that God's plans for their lives were better than their own hopes and plans.
If you like real danger in a clean love story then I recommend "Treacherous Trails" by Dana Mentink.

I love a good suspense story and when you said Treacherous Trails was full of twists and danger right to the very end.....well, I'm all in!!! Thanks for the GREAT review!
It's so interesting how each person reads a book differently. For me, I knew who the villain was early on, but it was more about how are they going to catch him.
