Del Cooper made a serious mistake on a story that ended her crime reporter career. Needing to rebuild her life she returns to Sedona, Arizona, and gets a seasonal job at Blue Sky Expeditions which offers off-road excursions in the red rock canyons. While hiking with another guide she makes a tragic discovery, the body of a homeless man who had gone missing.Ã? There has been a big push and opposition to a proposed land deal that would change the peacefulness of the area. Did the death have something to do with the land deal or is there something else going on?
Del starts digging into the death and uncovers secrets and clues that all lead to a location where Western movies used to be filmed, Lee Ranch. Then two women she had talked to go missing and she feels someone is watching her. Will she be the next woman to disappear?

Ms. Bryant has a very descriptive writing style and her words paint beautiful pictures of the Sedona red rock canyons. Throughout the story, the characters travel all around the canyons, all the crevices, caves, and cliffs. It is easy to get lost when you get off a trail. I enjoyed the ability to virtually travel to such grand places but sometimes Del got lost and so did I. She was searching for a certain spiral petroglyph that she remembers from her childhood adventures and I was intrigued by that from the start. The author also includes Native American lore and info about the area's vortexes.
Del (Delilah) is an interesting protagonist with a curious nature which suits her well as she learns her new job and looks into the murder and missing persons. There is a large supporting cast and characters brought in for the mystery. Ms. Bryant does a good job of introducing all the players but it is hard to give them a lot of depth when there are so many. I do hope this book becomes a series because I would like to get to know these characters better.
The mystery unfolded at a leisurely pace with twists and turns and many moments of misdirection. Del suspected almost everyone and right up until the last moments she didn't know who she could trust. Ms. Bryant plotted the mystery very well because I was astonished when all was revealed.
Over the Edge is a stirring mystery surrounded by the vivid imagery of the scenic areas of Sedona. It was like a mini vacation with a mystery to solve. I hope we get to visit these characters and the area again.
