Book Description

Together in one set, Books 4-6 of tWill Travel for Trouble series of short cozy mysteries! Trouble at Hungry Horse, Book 4: Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, no sooner leaves Glacier National Park than she encounters some trouble with her RV and tow car, necessitating an unexpected layover at a campground in the nearby small town of Hungry Horse, Montana. Within an hour of checking in, however, a gunshot rings out, and Minnie finds herself on her hands and knees hiding under a park bench. But the shot wasn't meant for her. In fact, no one can even find the shooter or a gun. Peregrine Ebenezer (Ben) Alvord, Minnie's nineteenth-century ghost traveling companion, knows that someone at the campground has been murdered, but not by a gunshot.

Finding a wonderful RV site with a panoramic view of the Snake River, Minnie settles in for a short, relaxing visit with her niece.

The beauty of the scene is marred though, when one fisherman disappears from his boat right before her eyes. Peregrine Ebenezer (Ben) Alvord, Minnie's nineteenth-century ghost traveling companion, can do nothing to save the man from drowning. In fact, he can't even find him. But search and rescue teams do finally locate poor Jim Olson, only to discover that he didn't die by drowning. Everyone liked Jim Olson, everyone except the person who killed him. Minnie vows to stay out of this murder investigation, but she feels responsible since she was the last person to see him alive. Besides the killer, that is. Trouble in Florence, Book 6: Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, is heading south to warmer climates by way of Highway 101, also known as the Oregon Coast Highway and Pacific Highway. She stops for a few days in the quaint little seaside town of Florence, Oregon, for a stay at the Tuscan Sands RV Park. Although the park hardly lives up to its evocative name, the sand dunes of the Florence beaches most certainly do. When in Florence... Minnie wastes no time heading to the beach for a walk with her nineteenth-century ghost companion, Peregrine Ebenezer (Ben) Alvord. Even if it is the middle of December. Less people on the beach though, right? What could be more relaxing than walking on a nearly deserted Pacific Northwest beach? But the dangerous and erratic driver of a blue Jeep, the fierce coastal storm that sweeps through overnight, a barking dog that paws at the sand, and the discovery of a body partially submerged beneath a log on the beach all conspire to take the relax out of relaxing. Against her will and Ben's words of caution, Minnie cannot help but try to solve the mystery of the Trouble in Florence.
