Gunfight at Grace Gulch
by Darlene Franklin
What a delightful Christian cozy!
~Storeybook Reviews
I do not recall having read a Christian cozy western before now.
If I have, it was not as enjoyable and memorable as this one.
~Laura’s Interests
Readers who enjoy historical contexts will enjoy this cozy mystery.
~Christa Reads and Writes
Darlene Franklin takes us to a quaint small town and introduces us to some wonderful characters that are very strong in their faith. She mixes romance and mystery together in a most enjoyable way.
~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book
There is romance, humor, mystery, and murder–also vintage clothing, small town food, and a festival celebrating the town’s history. In other words, there is something for everyone!
~Book Babble
This was a fast-paced book and had a wonderful blend of romance and mystery it was beautiful in its cover and inside its pages.

Synopsis
The feud between the Graces and the Gaynors is still going strong more than a century after its inception in the 1891 Oklahoma land run. Newspaper editor Penn Hardy is murdered during the reenactment of the most famous gunfight in the history of Grace Gulch, Oklahoma. Cici Wilde, owner of a vintage clothing store, feels compelled to investigate when police suspect people close to her. She soon discovers her talent for sleuthing equals her flare for wearing period clothing. Theater director Audie Howe never expected the reenactment to end in a real murder. He cares too much for the future of the Magda Grace Mallory Theater – and the charming Cici Wilde – to let her face danger alone. Cici and Audie take a dangerous gamble to nail the killer – and lay their lives on the line.

A Book Excerpt
The gigantic black hands on the town clock atop our municipal building inched toward twelve o’clock. Audie put a cell phone to his ear.
Cord and Penn, reprising their roles as Bob Grace and Dick Gaynor, burst through the saloon doors, shouting insults.
My heart stuttered a bit, worried for Cord. Penn sounded really angry.
“You can’t get away with it. You’re a scoundrel and a cheat.” Penn’s face was set into deep lines, hatred aging him prematurely.
“I’m not a cheat. I arrived first, fair and square.
You have to accept it.”
Tension twisted my shoulders. I held my breath.
“That’s what you think!” Penn pulled out a Colt and fired.
A flash of light—popping sounds—two men fell to the ground.
