CLAIRE BOOTH is a former true crime writer, ghostwriter, and reporter. She lives in California. Another Man's Ground is her second novel, following The Branson Beauty.
Praise for Another Man's Ground "Appealing...Booth's affectionate
treatment of a the decent and shrewd people of Branson and Worth
makes this a series worth following."--Publishers WeeklyPraise for
The Branson Beauty "Claire Booth hits the ground running in this
debut novel set in the Missouri Ozarks. She writes with the
assurance and clarity of a more seasoned pro. Let's hope Branson
County Sheriff Hank Worth can get himself reelected so that we get
to see more of him and his family--especially the crusty
father-in-law who takes babysitting to a whole new
level."--Margaret Maron, New York Times bestselling author of
Designated Daughters
"Touches of sly humor add appeal to Booth's standout
debut...Betrayals from within the sheriff's department and issues
left unresolved hint at much more to come in what promises to be a
most engaging regional police series."--Publishers Weekly(starred
review)"Former crime reporter Booth's debut introduces an engaging
cop with wonderful family appeal. A nice discovery for enthusiasts
of Joan Hess and Margaret Maron."--Library Journal"Former crime
reporter Booth imbues her fast-moving narrative, which celebrates
its Ozarks setting, with humor and humanity. A promising
debut."--Booklist"Quietly powerful, this novel pulls us into a
snowy Ozark town where the new sheriff is learning to navigate
small-town policing with a not entirely cooperative staff and a
tiny budget, when a local girl is brutally murdered. Now he's
facing the interference of local politicians and threats to his job
while trying to settle into a new home with his two small children
and ER doctor wife, while melding her recently widowed father into
the household. With nuanced characters and an intricately unfolding
plot--and a bone-deep sense of cold in this Ozark setting--this
novel is reminiscent of William Kent Krueger or Giles Blunt. Claire
Booth is a writer to watch."--Sara J. Henry, national bestselling
author of Learning to Swim
