Murder in a Tourist Town

Tourist Trap Mystery, Book 16

De: Lynn Cahoon

Narrado por: Lauren Pedersen

In this delightful prequel to the beloved Tourist Trap Mystery series, lawyer Jill Gardner flees job burnout to take a vacation-and finds a brand-new life on the California coast.

Jill's family law career is in a rut. Watching a client go back to her abusive husband, yet again-and then learning she's been passed up for a partnership, yet again-finally prompts her to take a break. She'll have to dip into her emergency fund. But after all those long days in her windowless office, subsisting on leftover cake from the break room, it's time to smell some flowers.

When she arrives in picturesque South Cove on the Pacific coast, she finds friendly residents, a peaceful beach, and nature's beauty. But she also witnesses a shouting match between two business owners with a big score to settle. And when someone she knows turns up dead in the local coffee shop, she finds the town needs her skills, just as much as she needs the town. It's time to set her roots where they belong . . .

Talk about making changes in your life!!

Love this peak at what gave Jill the impetus to change careers. Such a fun well written preview of the tourist trap series. Loved it so much. Makes me want to make big changes and do something that I love and live where I love instead of working to just make money and living in the same state I grew up in.

Enjoyable

I have read all the books in this series. I enjoyed this look at how it all began.

Interesting Prequel

It was fun to hear the back story of the series. It does bother me that throughout the entire series aunt and often are both pronounced incorrectly. (Check Webster’s pronunciation.)

Not what I was expecting, but. . .

Thought that the new book would be about the upcoming wedding, so was surprised when it turned out to be a prequel to the series— very much enjoyed it, just wish it were longer!

A great prequel that gives “just the facts” ma’am!

I enjoyed learning a bit of what began the Tourist Trap Mysteries. This was the right information in the right amount.
