Kangaroo Crossing: Legend of a Desert Grave (Romance Loves Mystery #5)
G.S. Bailey

Madeline is a sweet country girl. She’s accomplished, educated and highly intelligent – a sportswoman into horses and barrel racing. She’s looking for a man to share her outback home with.
Madeline’s mother was murdered 20 years ago. The unsolved case is cold, but a new police task force has been set up, and the trail of the killer is about to bring Madeline and Blake together.
Kangaroo Crossing is the final instalment in a five book series of powerful stand-alone mysteries with strong romantic persuasion. You will find the dual plots quite balanced. Fans of either genre have plenty to delve into here.
