In the 1920s, Rocky Mountain National Park is brand new, yet there’s already a feud going on between tour bus drivers and independent guides. One guide is found shot to death, but no one saw a gun. No one heard a shot. Then a bus driver is killed the same way.
Ranger McIntyre’s glamorous lady detective friend, Vi Coteau, will investigate. Her partner, Eleanor, goes undercover and gets a job driving for the bus company. When it becomes evident that the buses are hauling something other than sightseers, our daring ranger sets the most complicated and dangerous trap of his career.
I'm always happy when the newest Ranger McIntyre adventure arrives at my door!
It felt like this was a slightly larger cast of characters than previous installments -- I always enjoy "casting" them in my mind, and this one was no different. When this becomes a series (someone.....pick that up!), I'd love to see if their choice for Hayward is close to mine.
I had guessed (correctly) the culprit earlier than I usually do, but the details of how things were done remained a mystery until the author chose to reveal them. It's clear that he researches his chosen weapons and tools.
Work has created main characters that continue to evolve, and brings in new ones that add to the delightful community that is the Park.
Looking forward to the next one, as patiently as I can.....
