A Death in Cactus City Patricia K Batta

Introducing the Katie in Cactus Mystery Series ... To escape the stress of work and personal problems, corporate attorney Kate Christensen abruptly trades a fast-paced lifestyle in rain-rich Seattle for the dry mountains of Arizona, where she expects to settle into a quiet life and spend time with her aging grandmother. Kate's plans are disrupted before she even has a chance to unpack. Entangled in a murder investigation, Kate finds herself bouncing back and forth between her grandmother's serious health issues and supporting the murder victim's widow-while trying to figure out the complexities of her own life. Maybe her previous stress wasn't so bad after all.
