ABOUT THE BOOK
Welcome to Bushwhack, New Mexico: home to tourists, the great outdoors, and murder...
Tourist season has hit Bushwhack and Andie Sullivan--owner of Sullivan's Adventure Company--is ready for her town to fill up with city slickers, snotty teens, and the dollars she needs to keep her business afloat after her messy divorce from Bucky Gunn--local celebrity rafting guide and Sullivan's main competition. With all her guided tours booked, it finally seems lady luck is on her side.
But then Bucky is found dead. Not great.
And she's the prime murder suspect. Double not great.
Being framed for murder sucks worse than a rabid chipmunk bite. Andie's determined to clear her name, and this time her survival training skills won't be used to fetch an ice pack. But how long can she stay one step ahead of a killer before she becomes the final victim?

IFs ANDs OR WHATs INTERVIEW WITH JODI LINTON
Ifs
If you could talk to someone (living), who would it be and what would you ask them?
Easy. Reece Witherspoon. I find her to be a fascinating person. She’s a mom, businesswoman, and lover of books. She’s also from the south like me, and after reading her cookbook I know we’d have fun cooking together.
If you could live in any time period which would it be?
I’d like to visit the sixties so I could see my mom as a teenager.
If you could step back into a moment or day in time, where would you go?
I’d revisit high school Jodi, and tell myself that everything will turn out just fine. You don’t have to impress anyone, just live your life for you. Everything else will fall into place. I’d also say don’t stress about not having a prom date, because one day you’ll meet a wonderful man and all thoughts about that silly prom will vanish.
If you could be anything besides a writer, what would it be?
I’d be a chef. Cooking is a favorite pastime of mine. I have acquired many kitchen gadgets and cookbooks, and I love creating fancy dinners as well as fun everyday meals. My hope is to in a year to have a new kitchen (either move or remodel) so I can have more workable space.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where in the world would it be?
That’s a big question, and one I’ve thought a lot about. Before getting married and becoming a mom, I was a traveler. I visited several European countries as well as Turkey (which was a fascinating trip if I do say myself. But if I had to choose one place to live, I’d choose Greece. There’s something magical about the endless blue oceans and beach villages. To me it seems like a very relaxing place to live out your life.
