Dark Horse

Whitehorse, Montana: The McGraw Kidnapping, Book 1

By: B. J. Daniels

Narrated by: Carly Robins

Burdened by family secrets, this cowboy rides alone

For twenty-five years, the case of the McGraw twins kidnapping has remained unsolved. As the eldest son, Cull oversees the McGraw horse ranch, wary of prying eyes. So when true-crime writer Nikki St. James comes forward with new information, Cull can't believe his father invites her onto the compound. His family has suffered enough - he's not about to let St. James snoop and ruin them completely. But Nikki finds the eldest McGraw's protectiveness as endearing as it is aggravating. After all, this case is personal to her, too...And her secrets can set the truth free - if they don't destroy the McGraws first.

Interesting Whodunit

Dark Horse is the first book in Whitehorse, Montana: The McGraw Kidnapping series. Each installment is about a McGraw brother finding romance. Dark Horse is Cull's account. He's the oldest and isn't looking for the attraction he feels for Nikki. For me, the romance is just a bit of side narrative. The main focus is the puzzle of the kidnapping and possible murder of the two youngest siblings which happened 25 years ago. Nikki is a true crime writer. She is known for helping to solve old mysteries while doing research to write her novels. I'm crazy about Nikki and really enjoyed following her investigation. She's very likeable, and there are some eerie and exciting occurrences along the way. This is an interesting whodunit, and it left me wanting to continue to find out what's next for the McGraw family.

Pleasant surprise

My first book by BJ Daniels but not my last.
Great read and wonderful characters

Should have stuck to mystery

It had an interesting plot but the "romance" part was very tedious and oh so formulaic. The narrator did well with women but made all of the male characters sound like they were In advanced senility. Some aspects were overdone, others were skipped over. So-so.
