Sandi and Pete take a vacation along with friends Felicity and Stanley, to visit her parents at their Bed and Breakfast in Arizona. What could possibly go wrong?
Sandi’s stepfather, Frank, takes the four out ATVing to a seldom traveled part of the desert, and a missive left by Jennifer Crisp over fifty years earlier is found on the underside of a rock outcropping.
That short note grabs hold of Sandi’s curious and stubborn side and leads to the discovery of bodies buried in the desert dating back to the 1960s era. The desert is, unfortunately, a good place to hide bodies.
Can Sandi find the right clues to lead her to what happened so many years earlier? What happened to Jennifer Crisp?
Almost a bigger question is, will Sandi’s relatives help or hinder her investigation?
No matter where P.I. Sandi Webster-Goldberg goes, she manages to find a mystery. Even when she’s on vacation with her husband, Pete—which is where she is in this novel, visiting her Mother and Step-Father at their B & B in Arizona. This time, she discovers the disappearance of a women circa 1964, while in the desert. And that’s all it takes for her to dig her heels in and solve the case, which she does very nicely in cozy mystery style, with the help of her husband, her mom, her aunt, her two friends/business associates, and her dogs. This is a “can’t put the book down” story that keeps you guessing until the very end. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed reading it. Another wonderful mystery from the pen of author, Marja McGraw.
