Lynne is leading a group of teachers to research the gold country of California. Figuring she knows most of them from the years her kids spent in the Floritas school system, Lynne expects a fun, relaxing tour. But that's before the trouble starts. The fan belt dies on her van. Most of the group gets food poisoning the first night. And they return from their first day of activity to find their cabins have been searched and the owner is unconscious at the bottom of a ravine. What in the world is going on? This series is part travel log and part mystery. The author uses multiple view points to present the story, this time including the villain. We, the reader, know what is happening (most of the time), but it actually adds to the story. While I had a little trouble keeping all the teachers straight at first, the characters are strong enough that I soon had everyone figured out. And I got so into the story, I read most of it in one day. This isn't your traditional murder mystery series, but I really enjoy it for a change of pace.
