It’s early October 1923, and three interesting things are going on in the generally dull town of Rosedale, New Mexico the fall cattle drive, the fall rodeo, and a tent revival.
Annabelle Blue is excited about the first two events. The last one might be okay if it weren’t for the Reverend Milo Strickland’s sister, Esther, whose ethereal loveliness has captivated all the men in town, including Annabelle’s long-time beau, Phil Gunderson.
In spite of this, Annabelle pitches in and helps prepare for the rodeo, which is always accompanied by a community-wide party and barbecue. This year’s rodeo and barbecue are being held at the Gundersons’ ranch, about twelve miles west of Rosedale.
Although Phil seems to hang around with Esther a lot more than Annabelle deems proper, she enjoys the rodeo with her best friend, Myrtle Howell—until one of the stars of the rodeo, Kenny Sawyer, falls ill and later dies.
Shocked to learn that Kenny was poisoned, Annabelle begins to do some snooping. There are a plethora of suspects to choose from. Unfortunately, those suspects include her own brother-in-law, who appears to be enamored of a woman other than Annabelle’s sister; Kenny Sawyer’s erstwhile lady love; the husband of her brother-in-law’s assumed lover; and even Annabelle’s horrid twelve-year-old brother, Jack.
When Hazel Fish, the worst gossip in Rosedale, is killed after Annabelle gives in to her friend Myrtle’s wheedling and goes to a revival meeting, life in Rosedale becomes downright frightening.
A fun, fast-paced mystery set in a tiny southwestern town at the beginning of the 20th Century.

Pecos Valley Revival eBook Alice Duncan Reviews
This was a romance and a mystery story. I already suspected who the the killers was but I was wrong.
What a lovely book. Transported to New Mexico in the 1920's, we are treated to a growing town, a revival tent, and a charming heroine who simply cannot keep herself out of a mystery. Saddled with an annoying younger brother, going through her day, Annabelle Blue gets herself embroiled in all kinds of trouble. A good mystery, just marvelous sense of place-you can smell the dust-a very very satisfying read.
In 1923 in Rosedale, New Mexico, nineteen years old Annabelle Blue works in her family's dry-goods store. However she has dreams of seeing the world that she has read about. Her boyfriend Phil Gunderson is a highly regarded rodeo performer, but Annabelle doubts she will see the world with him as to Phil the southwest is the world.
She looks forward to the annual rodeo because she meets interesting people from different places. This year also includes a tent revivalist gala, which means more people from elsewhere. However, Annabelle never expected the revivalist preacher Reverend Strickland's beautiful vivacious sister Esther Strickland would have Phil salivating after her as well as his rodeo rival champion Kenny Sawyer; his fiancée Sarah Molina is as distraught as Anabelle is; each is upset with Esther treating their boyfriends like candy and their boyfriends reciprocating the sweetness. When Kenny is poisoned on the rodeo's second night, the police suspect his jealous fiancée. That changes when a second homicide occurs, in which Sarah has no motive.
This is an enjoyable historical mystery with the emphasis on time and place as the audience will feel Alice Duncan enchantingly transported readers to 1920s New Mexico. The cast is solid especially Annabelle, who tells the tale, although she is not as enticing as Daisy Gumm Majesty is. The whodunit is cleverly devised, but remains in the background to observing life in Rosedale circa 1923.
