Open for Murder
Reeks: A Happy Camper Mystery
Mary Angela
- Deep
- in
- the
- heart
- of
- touristy
- small-town
- Spirit
- Canyon,
- South
- Dakota,
- former
- journalist
- Zo
- Jones
- runs
- the
- Happy
- Camper
- gift
- shop,
- where
- she
- sells
- everything
- from
- locally
- made
- souvenirs
- to
- memorabilia.
- She
- even
- rents
- out
- mountain
- bikes,
- and
- dabbles
- in
- the
- adventure
- industry—and
- sleuthing
- .
- .
- .It’s
- Memorial
- Day
- weekend
- in
- Spirit
- Canyon,
- and
- for
- Zo
- that
- means
- the
- return
- of
- summer
- shoppers.
- It
- also
- means
- the
- return
- of
- her
- good
- friend
- Beth,
- who’s
- moved
- back
- to
- the
- area
- to
- reopen
- her
- family’s
- premier
- hotel,
- Spirit
- Canyon
- Lodge.
- Beth
- and
- Zo
- spent
- many
- childhood
- summers
- there
- and
- Zo
- can’t
- wait
- to
- reconnect
- and
- celebrate
- the
- Grand
- Opening.
- But
- the
- festivities
- go
- from
- bad
- to
- worse
- when
- a
- power
- outage
- knocks
- out
- the
- lights—and
- morning
- reveals
- a
- competitor’s
- dead
- body
- found
- on
- the
- premises
- .
- .
- .Soon
- enough,
- Beth
- is
- the
- prime
- suspect
- in
- the
- suspicious
- death.
- Fortunately,
- Zo
- isn’t
- afraid
- to
- put
- her
- investigative
- skills
- to
- work
- and
- prove
- her
- friend’s
- innocence.
- To
- start
- digging
- for
- information,
- she
- appeals
- to
- Max
- Harrington,
- a
- local
- Forest
- Ranger
- and
- unlikely
- ally.
- Though
- they’ve
- argued
- about
- Happy
- Camper’s
- tours,
- in
- this
- case
- they
- agree
- on
- one
- thing:
- Beth
- isn’t
- a
- murderer.
- Stranger
- things
- have
- happened
- than
- their
- collaboration.
- After
- all,
- this
- is
- Spirit
- Canyon.
- But
- as
- the
- list
- of
- suspects
- grows,
- Zo
- will
- have
- to
- keep
- her
- guard
- up
- if
- she
- doesn’t
- want
- to
- be
- the
- next
- lodge
- guest
- to
- check
- out
- .
