In the first of a new mystery series, we meet Nora Best as she flees her old life, cheating husband and all, and takes to the road with an Airstream trailer.

Nora Best is the envy of her friends. She's just turned 50 and has traded in her home with The Perfect-Ass Husband for an Airstream trailer and an adventure of a lifetime across the US.

But during their leaving party, Nora finds her husband in a compromising position with a friend. Storming out of the party, she jumps into her truck with no idea how to tow the Airstream or where she's going.

Nora ends up in a campground in the mountains of Wyoming, drowning her sorrows with its managers, Brad and Miranda. When she is woken by a frantic Miranda after Brad has disappeared and bloodstains have been found around the campsite, Nora finds herself caught up in an adventure she could never have expected...facing a charge of murder.

I absolutely loved this book! The narration was excellent. The story was different than any plot I've ever heard. Having grown up with a healthy fear of bears, it spoke to me, especially! Very satisfying ending!

Couldn't put it down!

I didn’t dislike the main character’s personality until we got to a huge negative plot point that NO functional adult human being with a vaguely normal IQ would fall victim to. I couldn’t listen further. I tried. It was not for me.

The performance was excellent. The plot was impossible to swallow… and I listen to fantasy and science fiction novels. I’m REALLY comfortable suspending disbelief. This was too much.

The main character is too dumb to endure.

Author is not for me even on catalogue plus. The descriptions and word choices are good and clear just too long for the simplicity of the story. More of a romantic mystery. I like this narrator and l have the new Charlie Donlea pre ordered so while l wait l checked the free books. The ending left details to some imagination, and certainly for book 2 on catalog plus.
Were my comments of help?

Overall, I enjoyed the book. The pace was good, the story somewhat unique and twisting and the characters were good. I had to question a few things, like why Nora, a smart woman would reference the tracker app on her phone which she obviously realized she didn't turn off, and still not turn it off when she didn't want anyone, particularly her husband. I realize that's not how he found her, but why give her name to a reporter? Why not have a better lock or monitor to know if someone is in her trailer? They have her making some really dumb decisions. I liked the plot twists, but hated the ending and being left hanging. It just didn't make sense. She has no where to go, she isn't visiting her mom. She has no money and needs to write her new book to keep income flowing and her career alive, so why wouldn't she stay in her trailer and write the new book while exploring her relationship with Caleb? She would probably have insurance money from Brad's death. Now she's going to just drive off to some unexpected place with a huge trailer and no financial means? Dumb.

Overall interesting characters and story,

Overly predictable, slow, boring and not at all believable. This story completely missed the element of surprise, suspense, and likable characters. It left a lot to be desired.

Should have skipped this one

the story is weak the characters are stupid they do stupid things the people who are supposed to be so smart. feels like it was written by a teenager it's a bad essay. story could have been solved and ended sooner and I love alone story I got to the point where I had to fast forward some chapters and I still didn't miss anything. the twist were weak I just do not recommend this book I'm glad it wasfree, I would've asked for a refund if it wasn't.
