Dollycas's Thoughts
We return to California and the Coffee, Books, and More shop in Sandy Cove. Jill and Greg are all set to take off on an Alaskan Cruise right after the Mission Run Event. Well there plans go South when a dead body is found during the race next to the running trail. The dead woman is part of a public relations firm that was hired to promote the event. Between you and me, I was so happy she was the victim. She was a real witch that rubbed me and others the wrong way quickly. She must have really ticked someone off to get killed.
If that isn't enough to force Greg to cancel their getaway, there is a vandal on the loose and their only target seems the model train store. They are pretty persistent and damage is escalating. While Jill has the week off and Greg is tied up at the station, she decides to get a little redecorating done on the house she inherited. Of course, she is going to stick her nose into both investigations, this is Jill we're talking about. The trouble is she may push someone too far and end up on a permanent vacation cruising right on up to the pearly gates.
All our favorite characters return and again the dialogue is spectacular. Aunt Jackie continues to bring the humor. Her gentleman friend Josh is the one the found the body and ends up in the hospital himself. That doesn't slow Jackie down much at all. She has plans for him, plans for Jill, Jill's home, the bookstore/coffee shop, and plans to keep Sasha, their part time employee busy too. All with a big smile on her face. This is a great set of characters.
As someone that helped organize events like the Mission Run, this story rang pretty true to life. The corporation or the group running the show gives just enough information for local groups to set up their individual event. Then they show up on the day the event is to take place and complain about the way things are set up or doesn't meet their expectations. Been there, done that, and like in this story the local event was a great success in spite of corporate's ideas. Well, except for the dead PR woman :)
Lynn Cahoon has written another story that draws the reader in from the start and entertains us thoroughly. The plot twists are tight and truly unexpected. I was totally caught off guard by some of the guilty parties. The two cases intertwined so well. A nice blend of daily life, romance, mystery and mayhem. I really enjoy this series.
Murder on Wheels comes out February 2 and now I am all caught up and ready for it!
