A young woman is convinced she's living with a murderer among family members, lodgers, and ranch hands in New Mexico.

Serena Mallory came to the huge New Mexico ranch of Castle Rock as a twelve-year-old orphan. She grew up as the ward of owner Dan McIntire. Now in her early twenties, Serena watches the ranch's idyllic summer charm disappear when Dan dies in a riding accident. The night before his accident, she overheard him arguing with someone, and since his death, a series of strange accidents has plagued the ranch. Convinced that Dan's accident was anything but, Serena sets out to find the guilty party.


"Romantic tension, ratcheting suspense, and a cadre of interesting characters all combine into a thoroughly enjoyable mystery that feels completely contemporary and yet will appeal to fans who feel nostalgic yearnings for gothic romance and suspense novels." - Kings River Life Magazine - Read the full review

"
First published in 1983, this romantic suspense novel in the Carolyn Hart classics series offers deft but familiar melodrama. With the apparently accidental death of Dan MacIntire, "owner of the magnificent Castle Rock ranch," beautiful, spunky, high-strung Serena Mallory, Dan's ward, takes on the huge responsibility of running the vast New Mexico ranch. There's so much to worry about! Could Dan have been murdered? Why has someone set up a clandestine landing strip in a rugged area nearby? Why has her hangdog suitor, Will, become a guilt-ridden drunk? Why are the paying guests at the ranch behaving suspiciously? What are the rapacious heirs plotting? And, above all, what is hunky ranch hand Jed Shelton—whose kisses inflame Serena but who is Not What He Seems—really after? A lovingly handled setting and brisk action compensate for a plot used many times before. " - Publishers Weekly

"
Carolyn Hart always tells a good story, no matter what genre she chooses to write. Castle Rock, written in 1983, has been reissued as a "Carolyn Hart Classic". This time, she turns her hand to romantic suspense in a captivating story of a young woman who knows something is wrong at Castle Rock." -- Lesa's Book Critiques - Read the full review
