Will camping in the country music capital have Mabel kicking up some saw dust… or line-dancing to her doom?
Despite their good deed in Savannah, Mabel Gold’s ghostly friend Irma remains stuck in Purgatory. So when the plucky sixty-something divorcée pulls her haunted vintage camper into a Nashville campground, she’s expecting Irma to accompany her on the tour of the Grand Ole Opry. But as they two-step into a honky-tonk for some live tunes, they’re shocked to encounter two lost spirits stranded there for the past twenty years after their double homicide.Though St. Peter hints that solving the long-closed case could get Irma through the Pearly Gates, Mabel has little time to uncover the culprit before she’s due to boot-scoot off to the Badlands. But when shady financials surface and threaten to ruin the honky-tonk owner’s run for governor, trying to help the poor souls pass on could land the fearless sleuth in a whole heap o’ trouble.
Can Mabel collar the killer before she’s singing country-western with choirs of angels?
Murder on Honky-Tonk Row is the second book in the lighthearted Ghost & the Camper kooky mystery series. If you like wacky characters, quick-witted banter, and crooners with a twang, then you’ll love Rita Moreau’s clever caper.
While you can easily and happily read this second book in this spin-off series from Rita Moreaus's successful A Mary Catherine Mahoney Mystery series, I enjoyed it as the second book of its own series.
Mabel and friends purchased Airstream Trailers and are spending their summer exploring the south western part of the USA.
Mabel has daughters who are very different from each other. The cautious worrier wants Mom to settle into a place where she will be cared for in her "old age." The unconventional one understands their mother's desire to explore all life has to offer. The Dreamer is discovering that dreams change as years pass and is joining Mabel on the road while she figures out her own next transformation and path. Her story includes a bit of romance with a friend Mabel meets on the road.
Besides the invited friends, there is a ghost, inherited with Mabel's camper. If you have not read the first book, you'll find her story well covered here. Irma is a handful, both for Mabel and for St. Peter.
As the group pulls in to another campground, they find themselves pulled into another mystery. This one tied to a very cold case murder and a crime seen quite often in the music industry of decades past.
In present day it continues to be tied to dirty politics and so many secrets I can't begin to tell you.
Lots of family connections to explore.
You have to pay attention to see how and IF things are connected and who is in danger on each page.
It is not all dark and dangerous. There are laughs along the way. I love the characters. When you think they are making progress, there is a turn and complications.
Irma, the resident ghost, keeps things very interesting and once Mabel and Lili become curious they can't let go until they solve each case.
