Dang Near Dead
by Nancy G. West
Just like Fit to Be Dead – Dang Near Dead is a humorous cozy mystery that takes the reader all over the place. There are different threads to the craziness that don’t seem to be connected and then all of a sudden something happens or is said and everything falls into place.

The characters are well-developed and unique, as is the context and plot line. West combines humor and mystery to create an entertaining story.

Aggie vacations with Sam and Meredith at a Texas Hill Country dude ranch with plans to advise her column readers how to stay young and fresh in summer. Except for wranglers, dudes, heat, snakes and poison ivy, what could go wrong?
When an expert rider is thrown from a horse and lies in a coma, Aggie is convinced somebody caused the fall. Despite Sam’s warnings, Aggie is determined to expose the assailant. She concocts ingenious sleuthing methods that strain their dicey relationship as she probes secrets of the ranch and its inhabitants. After she scatters a hornet’s nest of cowboys, she discovers more than one hombre in the bunch would like to slit her throat.
my review:
Nancy West has done it again with another hit. Aggie and her friends are back and they are heading to a ranch. In this second whodunit the gang are trying to find out what happened to a horse rider that caused him to end up in a coma. You won't want to miss a minute of this book. Humor and witty you will enjoy this read.
About This Author
I’ve been writing since age seven: poems back and forth with my mom. I had a real poem published in the Library Journal, Pegasus, at age fifteen. At eighteen, I wanted to study journalism and English literature, but friends who chose that college route were making minimum wage or selling lingerie. Being practical, I earned a business degree. After marriage and two children, I decided I HAD to study literature and write. I wrote non-fiction articles, a biography, and a suspense novel in 2004. That’s when whimsical Aggie Mundeen cut through the suspense, popped into my head and demanded her own series. The Aggie Mundeen mystery capers were born. Aggie must have been right: FIT TO BE DEAD is a LEFTY FINALIST 2013 for best humorous mystery, nominated by Left Coast Crime.
