Midlife Crisis Mystery #7
Grumpy in Minnesota
The Mall of America is just one of the sights to see in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul in Minnesota. It might be the one I was most excited about, though. Visiting the US’s largest shopping mall seemed like a bucket list kind of thing to do. And I’m working my way through my bucket list as quickly as I can.
I’d only been in Minnesota for a few hours when things took an odd turn, though. I unexpectedly found myself dragged into a group of strangers who were in town to celebrate a wedding. That was definitely preferable to being caught up in a murder investigation anyway. I was determined to have a wonderful time with my new friends, but things didn’t go to plan.
When one of the group disappeared, the entire situation got quite complicated. Finding the body, though, that was enough to make me very grumpy. As if that weren’t bad enough, my best friend dragged her brother George in to help. George – my ex-boyfriend – the last person I wanted to see. I might just spend two entire weeks being Grumpy in Minnesota.

Lovely
I always enjoy the Midlife Crisis books. They are a lot of fun. I just wish eventually Holly and George patch their relationship, though this guy Conrad looked good. Holly should have stayed in contact with him, even as only friends.
