Summary
Territory of Colorado, 1865
Millie knows the raucous mining town of Buckskin Joe is no place for children, but when Dom’s Uncle George shows up needing help, the whole family reluctantly heads to South Park. George has been accused of murdering his mining partner, Wandering Will, and although Millie questions his innocence, she finds there are many suspects who wanted Will dead.
There’s fancy-girl Queeny, Will’s ex-wife, and dancehall-girl Kate, who wanted to be Will’s next wife - until he dumped her. Mountain man Kootenay despised Will enough to have dispatched him and the Odd Fellows have seized George and Will’s mine, claiming the gold inside for themselves.
Millie’s investigation heats up when Dom volunteers to visit the local saloon for some hands-on investigating of Queeny and Kate. Interruptions from hostile Utes, the children’s devilment, and the local schoolmistress chasing after Dom make this Millie’s most difficult investigation - especially when the killer decides she is getting too close.
Murder at Buckskin Joe weaves a cozy murder mystery with fascinating South Park mining history and lovable, unforgettable historic characters.

Great!
I loved this story, the characters are a very mixed bunch who you almost feel like cheering or hissing at as they appear in the book. It tells the story of a family uprooting from their home to go and help an uncle who they didn't even know existed until he turned up at their house one night saying he was accused of murder at the Goldmine he co owned. The story is humorous in places and very sad in others, the discrimination shown to an adopted young Indian boy is dreadful but all ends up well at the end. Nancy Wu is a good narrator who helps bring the book to life, This is the first J Dell book I have read but I hope it will not be the last. Highly recommended.
I was kindly given a promo copy of this book by the author and leave this honest and voluntary review.
