Forgotten Trail

National Parks Mystery, Book 3

By: Claire Kells

Narrated by: Cady Zuckerman

When a guest turns up dead at the newly opened Pinnacles Grand Hotel, ISB agent Felicity Harland finds herself summoned to a peculiar scene. A gentle breeze blows in from the balcony window, belying the violence of a man stabbed to death in his hotel room. It’s clear to Harland that this murder was personal, especially when the victim’s wife admits that she wanted him dead.

But Harland isn’t so sure that this was a domestic dispute gone bad. When she hears about the Park Service searching for a missing person out on the trails, she sets out with her partner, Ferdinand “Hux” Huxley, to see if the two cases are connected.

As Harland and Hux take on the rocky, exposed terrain of California’s ancient volcanic wonderland, they soon realize that the mystery at the Pinnacles Grand is not at all what it seems—and that a predator may be closing in.

String female lead with well written plot

I got into this series after becoming enthralled by the mysterious 411. I’m still curious, what happened to Kevin?

Kept me guessing

I love stories that take place in nature and the challenges along with that. I enjoyed the characters and relationships between them. Kells is great at adding twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. It was an exciting, fun read and I look forward to the next book!

disappointing follow-up to book two

While the mystery was engaging, the lack of character development is disappointing. The ending of book two hinted at possibilities that weren't explored, leaving this reader feeling frustrated.
