The Poacher: A Helen McPhee Cozy Mystery - Book 2
Helen McPhee may be broken, widowed, and a shadow of her former self, but she’s not one to give up!
Lacing up her hiking boots and lifting her heavy pack to her shoulders, there’s still life pumping through her veins that demands to be lived.
On a cross-country hike through the forests of Eldenbourg, Helen encounters a variety of amusing difficulties. She overcomes these with as much grace as an unfit, never cooked a day in her life, single lady can muster.
Soon she stumbles into a perilous web of mystery that is too sticky to escape.
The local police, who have been repeatedly thwarted by poachers, need Helen’s help to locate their hideout.
On a quest to do good and find herself, Helen’s sleuthing brings her into more danger than she has ever known.
Even in the face of losing her own life, Helen discovers people are just people, and that one should never wear yellow duck pajamas.

The second in the series is faster moving
Helen moves on to the next town in her cross country hike. She stumbles into bird poachers who then kidnap her until she escapes and gets back to town. She meets up again with Noah the area policeman and the drama continues. A fun read.

This is the second book in this series and I just love how Helen figures out who the bad guys are as she continues her hike in the country.
