A cozy/thriller mystery!

More danger than mystery in this story. The narration was excellent.

The Space Invader ( A Frankie Shoemaker Campground Mysteries Book 7) was another great read by Karen Musser Nortman. The Shoemakers and the Ferrari’s decide to extend their camping trip in New Mexico. Unfortunately they find themselves picking up a souvenir they didn’t want in Badger. Michelle Babb did a great job in narrating the characters so you want to know exactly what happens to them. I can’t wait to read more by Karen Musser Nortman.

Great Read

The action starts immediately and just keeps going. The threat this time for the endearing campers-cum-detectives comes to them... few clues required! In Roswell NM (whence comes the title) an escaped con wreaks havoc with a vacation to a beautiful area.

This book is more action oriented than others. It is a full standalone novel, but having ‘met’ the characters before makes it more interesting as you have a deeper stake in the personal dramas.

I was entertained by book 7, but I thought the story was a little bit darker than the first six books. In this story, Frannie and her friends are traveling through the "Land of Enchantment". The story was exciting. There was more danger and intensity of action than in some of the other stories. Michelle Babb's narration was fabulous and engendered an emotional response to the tale. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Darker Cozy Mystery

Badger, a dangerous and violent convict, who is being transported to a high-security prison, escapes and seeks refuge in the Shoemakers’ trailer without them knowing while they are on their way to a camping ground close to Rosswell. Desperation makes Badger act recklessly, putting the campers in danger.

This is not a whodunit like other books in the series. We know who is the culprit in this story, but the intrigue is even greater, as our friends are in terrible danger and Badger has little to lose in his escape. There was a twist and an unexpected series of events that were hilarious and terrifying at the same time.

The book had the perfect mix of humor and tension, to make this a pleasant listen. Its length made it ideal to be enjoyed from beginning to end on a rainy Sunday.

Michelle Babb did the story justice, with a natural and casual narration style while at the same time delivering very expressive narrations. It was like listening to real people. Babb does always a great job in voicing characters and giving each of them a distinctive voice and style while being also subtle. She is also great at doing different male voices, which is not something that we often see.

All in all, a very enjoyable listen, entertaining and quickly satisfying. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Being that they are camping close to Roswell makes one think it will be alien type of murder mystery... but you are in for a surprise! What a nice twist to the normal 'finding a dead body' mystery.

Great job done by both the author & the narrator!

This book was a pleasure to listen to and I would like to thank the author, narrator, or publisher for providing me this audiobook at no cost in exchange for my unbiased review & I look forward to listening to more books by both the narrator & the author.
