Murder on Wheels: 06/25/24

Murder on Wheels by Lynn Cahoon and Susan Boyce (Narrator) (2016) is the sixth book in the Tourist Trap mystery series. Jill Gardner lost the bid on a food truck but now the woman who bought it is dead.

In this volume it seems that Jill can't get a moment of rest. Her aunt is dating two men. Her boyfriend has gotten her roped into doing Geocaching. Her customers are now asking for gluten free options. And there's water rationing because of the California drought.

In between all those distractions, Jill needs to run her bookshop and do what she can to clear her friend's name. The main person of interest had been dating the dead woman's husband, not knowing he was married.

I like the characters in this series. I kept reading mostly for the secondary plots. The mystery I solved before the murder had even happened. Solving it was a mixture of having read similar plots and real life informing my puzzle solving.

The seventh book is Tea Cups and Carnage (2016).
