Zo Jones left the newsroom behind and is running her gift shop, Happy Camper, in Spirit Canyon. She loves the quirky and upbeat merchandise she sells and is happy with her change in careers. When her best friend moves back to town to reopen the family lodge, she’s thrilled to have her best friend back. When a rival lodging owner is murdered during the grand reopening, Zo realizes she misses the thrill of the hunt as she works to find the murderer before Beth is convicted of a crime she didn’t commit and the lodge has to close before the grand opening is even over.

This was a fun read. New series sometimes take more than a book for me to find the groover, but this one clicked from the get go. I see lots of potential for the series and characters to grow and develop as the series moves forward. I’ll be looking for the next release…because I need to know how George and Zo’s relationship builds over time.
