The Mystery of Gatewood Airport

"In her second book of the Vanessa Mystery series, Ms. Kinsey returns us to the summer of 1967 and to rural Fishers, Indiana. On a warm August morning, 14-year old Vanessa receives a concerning phone call from her younger cousin, Emma, to help solve a problem for the family. Vanessa immediately heads to the cousins’ farm to help Emma find a solution. During her visit, Vanessa quickly learns that something more menacing and illegal may be going on at the family’s private airport across the road. Soon the cousins (with a couple of new friends) are reunited to solve the mystery. Having received an Award of Literary Excellence from Dog Ear Publishing and rich with historical references to Fishers, Indiana and the late 1960’s, The Mystery of Gatewood Airport is full of humor, excitement, terror, personal courage, loss and the innocence of first love. For those who have read Ms. Kinsey’s first book (The Ghost of Cheeney Creek ©2014), you will quickly find yourself back together with this now too familiar group of high-energy, creative, smart, and hilarious group of cousins - laughing at their crazy banter, worrying about their personal safety, hoping that first love won’t result in broken hearts, and remembering the nostalgic songs and television shows of the late 1960’s. I can’t wait for Ms. Kinsey to publish her next book in this series to once again be reunited with Vanessa and her country cousins as they experience their next adventure in Central Indiana. Read this book – you’ll love it!"--Amazon Reviewer

"I just received my copy and have read the first two chapters. This is another coup for Madalyn Kinsey who has managed to write a second book which will do the seemingly impossible...grab the undivided attention of both boys and girls; not an easy task although Ms Kinsey manages it effortlessly. With each chapter ending on a cliff hanger, the reader is drawn back again and again. In fact, I am going back for more right now! Join me." -- J. Quinn, Amazon

About the Author:

Madalyn Kinsey was raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, and has lived and worked as a corporate attorney in Indianapolis, Chicago, and San Francisco. Searching for inspiration for her writing, she called upon fond memories of frequent childhood visits with cousins on the family farm near Fishers, Indiana, where abandoned buildings, a Civil War-era graveyard only steps from the house (rumored to be haunted by a Civil War soldier), a mysterious creek running through the property, and a nearby municipal airport, made her real-life visits fascinating and full of adventure. Those memories have inspired the plots of her Vanessa Mysteries series, the first of which was The Ghost of Cheeney Creek, and now its sequel, The Mystery of Gatewood Airport. In each book, her main character, 14-year old Vanessa, and her cousins and their friend, Jim, are swept into new and different adventures requiring courage and commitment to friendship and family. When not writing, Madalyn practices corporate law with an Indianapolis law firm, and enjoys classic movies, ghost hunting, travel, art fairs, and flying.
