Our second mystery today takes us to the fairgrounds,
home of many a Spring festival in our state!
Synopsis:
Paramedic Zoe Chambers hoped a week at the Monongahela County Fair, showing her horse and manning the ambulance, would provide a much-needed diversion from recent events that continue to haunt her.
An old friend, a bossy nemesis, and a teenage crush from her 4-H days fail to offer the distraction she had in mind. But ever the caregiver, she soon bonds with a troubled teen and a grieving father.
Back in Vance Township, a missing woman turns up dead, leading Police Chief Pete Adams into a journey through her mysterious final hours. With each new clue, the tragic circumstances of her death grow increasingly muddied.
A cryptic phone call leads Pete to join Zoe for an evening at the fairgrounds where the annual school bus demolition derby concludes with a gruesome discovery and a new case that may or may not be connected to the first.
Pete's quest for the motive behind two homicides-and Zoe's stubborn determination to reunite a family-thrust them both onto a collision course with a violent and desperate felon
Review
This was the second Zoe Chambers book I've read, and it is #8 in the series. I like to think of this book as for every woman who loved horses as a kid, and now loves mysteries! It's the perfect combination of the two, along with a will they/won't they chick lit run, that keeps you turning the pages to see what happens next, as the mystery unfolds. You might be a bit surprised at the end, and along the way at the twists that come for familiar characters! It's a valid entry in the series and a great Spring read!
