A Conspiracy of Wolves by Candace Robb

When they find a dead body in the woods, they are afraid the wolves are back again.  After all, his throat was torn out.  Owen isn't sure it was a wolf. 

Severn House and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published on August 1st.

Then another man was knifed to death.  Are the deaths tied together?

This is an interesting tale with magic healers, a crime done long ago, a family seeking revenge, and politics and intrigue mixed in here and there.  The wolf was not a wolf.  Much of what goes on in this story is shadowed and hidden.

Owen and his friends do identify the killers and take them to jail but the ending is sad.  That's a lot of death for a small community.  Now they have time to heal.
