Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles
A BEAUTIFUL TEXAS HILL COUNTRY RESORT. HER VINTAGE CAMPER AND DOG. A MONTH-LONG VACATION. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
When Mamie West accepts the temporary job of managing Hayden’s Resort Campground office and store, she is excited. Not only will she be back in Magnolia Bluff, but also closer to Officer Nick Vandegan.
But soon after she gets her vintage camper set up and her dog Stella settled in, a body is discovered in one of the RVs.
While police scramble to track down a suspect, another woman is murdered, leaving a little dog homeless and other campers fearful.
Meanwhile, a motorcycle rally gathers at the resort, and a little girl’s hedgehog gets loose—not once, but twice—with Mamie ending up caring for it.
Is a Mexican cartel responsible for the murders?
Can Nick keep Mamie safe?
Will she survive another kidnapping?
This is one exciting read. And the love story between Mamie and Nick Vandegan just adds to the fun.
