Finished on audio this morning while waiting on a dr appt. It’s a good 2nd book, though set in Kawaii instead of NM (the main character is on vacation). It’s a little dated, and I don’t love the reader (she doesn’t pull off 30-something well — she sounds a bit older & it makes it a little awkward at times), but I’m definitely getting the third book anyway!
Vacations can be murder by Connie Shelton
This the second book in the Charlie Parker mysteries series.
In the first book Charlie Parker is an accountant and partner with her brother in their own small private investigations firm looking after the firm’s accounts, taxes etc. In this the second book in the series she seems to have become an investigator in financial matters.
While holidaying on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, she takes a helicopter tour where she and the pilot see a body in a particularly inaccessible area of the island. Back at the heliport Charlie gives the pilot her business offering help if he needs it.
Of course he does, leading to a holiday romance and some unofficial investigation.
Plenty about the romance and the show more island of Kauai, but not much about the murder mystery,
All in all rather disappointing.
I hope she will settle into her character that showed so much promise in the first book show less
