The protagonist won the lottery, bought an expensive RV, and is traveling the U.S. with her African Grey Parrot for company. Everywhere they go, murder follows. And she’s drawn to it! She just can’t help herself! LOL! Short story. I recommend starting at the beginning of this series and read them in order.

What you call a little cozy murder mystery, right here. Kinda cheesy. But will I put it in my southwestern-themed rental camper? Yes, I will. 😁

This was the 6th book in the Rambling RV Cozy mystery series I have read. This time Tulia Blake heads through the Southwest to New Mexico where she is taking a guided overnight hike into the desert. While out there, their tour guide is found dead. So the issue becomes how to get back and figure out who killed him. Is it one of them, or is someone else out there? They’ve seen some strange lights in the sky and there is a beat up old bag full of money. Being out there they have no cell service so she can’t contact the police, Samuel or her family. This was another enjoyable, quick read that had you wondering what was going to happen next. And where will she head to next without Luis finding her.

In book 6, Tulia decided to go along with a hiking group that goes off in the New Mexico desert for an overnight hike and then back. She and the small group head out. At the end of the day, they find a plateau on which to camp. During the night she hears an argument outside her tent. When they all discover that their guide has been killed they are not sure what they are going to do but decide that they have to set off across the desert in hopes of getting back to civilization. During their hike back, she solves the murder and does get everyone back safely

What could be better than a series about rv travel around the country? A new mystery in each state our protagonists stops in on her journey! This is the best addition yet. Imagine six strangers hiking in the New Mexico desert. Their guide is killed and they are stranded. And it gets better but I’m not ruining the story for everyone. Suffice it to say the characters are engaging the plot dynamic and mystery fun to solve. Every time I read a book by Patti Bennington I am positive it can’t be topped but she proves me wrong every time.

Just when you thought Tulia had enough of nature and murders happening in the wilderness, she booked herself a desert hike in New Mexico that I'm pretty sure she came to regret. Then after someone in their party was almost killed, nobody was sure who to trust. I was never completely sure who did what, but I had a few suspicions. On the Luis front, Samuel seemed to have that under control as far as keeping an eye on him, but I really missed Samuel not being part of the actual mystery. Can't wait to borrow the next book!

Love the variety of mysteries in this series
This has been a great series of adventures as Tulia travels the country in her RV. I love that she travels with her African Gray parrot. The suspense of her ex adds to the mysteries of each book. Looking forward to the rest of her exciting travels. Hoping her romance keeps progressing.

A hike should be fun but..
New Mexico is am amazing place to hike and stay overnight. The sky is beautiful day and night! There is no light to dull the stars. But yes there is always a possibility of someone dying. It just seems to be the so called luck of Tulia. Now what will be her next adventure.

Great read
This was so good. I figured out who the killer was and their reason but didn't put all the pieces together for the other events that happened along the way. It was interesting finding out how they unfolded.

This time Tulia is caught in the middle of the New Mexico wilderness with a body, a killer, and no parrot sidekick. Spooky and a lot of fun.
