Trouble at Happy Trails, book 1: Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, checks in to her allotted space at Happy Trails RV Park in Spokane, Washington, with hopes of a pleasant week of touring the area. By night’s end, a death in the park finds her consoling the deceased man’s widow...or his killer. Whether the dearly departed died by his own hand or whether someone murdered him remains to be seen. It seems the deceased had a lot of character flaws. A lot!

Peregrine Ebenezer Alvord, otherwise known as Ben, is tagging along with Minnie on her travels. That he is an early 19th century ghost is only a minor complication. Ben has the ability to venture unseen where others cannot.

Trouble at Sunny Lake, book 2: Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, is stressed out from the recent events at Happy Trails RV Park, and she looks forward to some relaxation at an RV park nestled on the shores of beautiful and serene Sunny Lake in Spokane County, Washington.

Ben cannot stop Minnie from investigating a mysterious young man who hides in one of the park cabins, nor can he prevent her from discovering a body at the foot of a lakeside cliff. All he can do is help Minnie as she embroils herself yet again in another murder mystery.

Trouble at Glacier, book 3: Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, lucks into a first come, first served camping spot at Apgar campground in majestic Glacier National Park, Montana. After the stress over the past few months of finding herself involved in not one but two murders, she looks forward to the serenity of the mountains. She has sworn off sleuthing forever.

Until her next-door neighbor is attacked and killed by a bear, that is. Minnie has the bad luck to be the first to discover the body. Not as bad of luck as the victim had, but bad luck nevertheless. So much for the serenity she thought she’d find at Glacier.

Travel

The stories in this audio book are quick and easy reads. The mysteries are intriguing and keep you guessing. The relationship between Minnie and ghost Ben is sweet. Very clear narration.

Travel for Fun

“Will Travel for Trouble” by Minnie Crockwell is a fun, easy listen and a very enjoyable way to spend some time, especially for those who enjoy cozy mysteries. Minnie Crockwell, coincidentally the name of the main character, has the luxury of a very early retirement and travels around in her RV with “Ben,” a ghost, as her traveling companion. While this sounds silly, it is actually a cute plot device that enables Minnie to remain a solitary traveler to the world but have an intelligent being with whom to bounce off ideas and from whom to receive information. Each of these three novellas is set in a campground where Minnie becomes involved with solving a murder. While I enjoyed the three stories, I acknowledge that they are a bit formulaic. 

Michelle Babb capably handles the narration, especially when it comes to Minnie and Ben, giving each of them a distinct voice. 

I was given a free copy of this audio book by the narrator in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way nor was I required to write a positive review and the opinions stated are solely my own. 

Fun and easy to listen to set of books

This was a very enjoyable campground mystery book set. Each book had it's own fun murder mystery that, for me, wasn't predictable at all. I didn't know right off who the killer was or what was about to happen. Minnie is off on her RV travels to see the US and have some outdoor adventures. When she encounters a dead body she has to theorize about who might be responsible. She is compelled to start snooping and asking questions. Yes, she was nosy and a bit pushy sometimes but not annoyingly so. Ben, her 19th century ghost companion, was just a wonderful character who brought a lot to these stories. He is supportive, protective and great company for her. This set is easily one of the best cozy mystery sets I've listened to. As always, Michelle Babb does a great job with the narrations. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Great fun!

I don't always like murder mysteries where someone not police are the ones that solve the crime. But these have just enough "I'm not going to get involved" and "I want to know what's up with everything" to keep me calm and satisfied while listening that i could really enjoy the story. I love the idea of the traveling around with no real particular place to go and always stumbling upon these mysteries. I love that the story is not dragged out but not rushed either. Great story, Great narration. Loved them!!

I got this free copy for an unbiased review
Loved it and Thank you!!

Don't go camping with Minnie - trouble follows her

Minnie and her ghost friend Ben always manage to find a murder at the campgrounds. These are fun mysteries. Quick listens, the 3 books are almost 8 hours total. I enjoyed these mysteries and will listen to the next box set.

I always enjoy Michelle Babb's narrations. She has done an excellent job as usual. Each character has a distinctive voice. Michelle is one of my favorite narrators.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
