Valleys, Vehicles & Victims

By: Tonya Kappes

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

When a wedding party show up at Happy Trails Campground, Mae West is thrilled. She's all things girly and excited to assist the bride in all things southern, which is what the bride is hankering for.



Mae recognizes the parents of the bride when they arrive. They are from her past. The past she's been desperately trying to escape . . . especially since it was the time she was married to Paul West. This just isn't any couple, it's the owners of the famous Moonbucks Coffee Company.



The wedding is set to take place in the beautiful wedding barn at the Old Train Station Motel, only Gert Hobson, the owner of Trails Coffee Shop, who will be providing the coffee for the happy couple, has decided there's no way she's going to help out with Tom Moon's daughter's wedding since she claims that years ago Tom Moon stole her coffee blend recipe known today as the special Moonbucks blend.



A public fight between Gert and Tom leaves Gert a prime suspect after a member of the wedding party is found dead at the wedding venue. There might not be a happily ever after for the bride to be or Gert Hobson if Mae West doesn't solve the murder before the wedding party's RV rolls out of town.©2019 Tonya Kappes

Great series

This series is a great read and/or listen.

Tonya Kappes describes how he charters so well and the scenes that I feel like I’m a pet of the books.

Who did it? and why?

it's always good to visit Mae in Normal, Kentucky . From a wedding to a murder life is always interesting.

Fun, corny, easy

I love a light hearted mystery and the characters in this are so fun. Just feel like they are a bit too short for the money...wish there was a bit more interaction between characters so a bit more believable....nobody can solve a murder this fast...!! It also feels like half the book is reminiscent of a previous past but maybe would of been better to just start in the past so the background wasn’t so vague? Like, he “cheated” a lot of people in a “Ponzi” scheme, kinda cliche, and she comes across as a dingbat. As series goes on, she develops more character, but it seems like she would not have been so stupid if she truly came from the rough background that’s insinuated. She wouldn’t of been as naive as she is portrayed.

Overall great series.
