Trouble In Diablo Canyon

Minnie and Ben are back for more murder and mayhem! Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, and her ghost companion, Ben, are heading north toward Colorado with a side trip to the Diablo Canyon Guest Ranch in northwest New Mexico. Beautiful scenery, private cabins, picnics and cookouts, guided horseback trail rides...what's not to like? One victim will tell you...if they were still speaking. Minnie wanted a vacation, but murder and mayhem take no vacations. Each story in the series can stand alone, but to avoid extensive repetition of the backstory, the books would be best read in order.

First in a new cozy mystery series from Minnie Crockwell. Settling into her new condominium on Mirror Pond in Northern Virginia, Sallie Chilcoat, a recent widow, wonders what to do with the rest of her life. She had planned to continue traveling with her military husband, but his early death leaves her at loose ends. Now, she stares out the window at the pond and contemplates learning to kayak...or taking up painting...or climbing Mount Everest. Movement in the overwater gazebo catches her eye, and she grabs up her people-watching binoculars to see a man sitting inside the gazebo playing an accordion. Curious about the musician who plays such a rare instrument, Sallie trots down to the pier to investigate. The term “investigate” takes on a whole new meaning when Sallie reaches the gazebo to discover not a happy musician, but a dead body and a missing accordion. Forget climbing Mount Everest! Sallie finds herself immersed in the mystery of the Death at the Gazebo.
