Description

Her Dream Gig: Write an article about a haunted campground.  Pitfall: Killer wants her dead.

As a freelance journalist, the assignment to write an article about a haunted campground in Arizona is Wren's dream come true. It combines her love of traveling and camping with her loyal Labrador Retriever, Rascal, and the intrigue of investigating haunted locations. The Old West-style Arizona campground, Forgotten Oasis, has a picturesque setting, but a deadly threat looms beneath the surface.

While Wren digs into the mysteries of the Forgotten Oasis, she finds herself at odds with the young, widowed county marshal, whose protective instincts both frustrate and captivate her. Additionally, she contends with a snarky resident ghost who guards the abandoned saloon and has secrets of his own.

After uncovering a long-forgotten crime, Wren discovers new chilling crimes that only she can unravel when she realizes that a ghostly hint is a key clue. 

The serial killer in the shadows looks forward to reading her obituary.

    After a couple of chapters, the book failed to capture my interest, and I did not feel compelled to finish reading it. The story seemed a bit weak, and the narrative lacked substance. More development might help provide the polish needed to draw readers in.
  • Easy, quick read - loved the camping aspect

    This was a cute, easy-to-read book with a happy ending. It wasn’t unpredictable and often seemed to have a missing paragraph - when something random was mentioned in a paragraph out of the blue. I liked it though and might’ve read more if they weren’t on the higher price end. ($5.99 vs. $2.99, not a lot but certainly more than free)

    I was looking for a light interesting story different from the mysteries I have been reading. This was just right for the night. Have to admit I was a little sad at the end. A good read & since I was from Southern Arizona it made me miss home & family. 7 2 2024 Camie12
