Trouble at 5000 Feet
(2021)(Book 17 in the Will Travel for Trouble series)
A Novella by Minnie Crockwell
Book 17 in the Will Travel for Trouble series of cozy mysteries. Minnie and Ben are back for more murder and mayhem!
Minnie Crockwell, recreational vehicle enthusiast and traveler, and her ghost companion, Ben, finally reach Colorado. After a short stay in Denver to shop for a new RV, she makes her way to Fort Collins where she plans a surprise visit to her ex-husband, John, the chief of police.
An unexpected early September snowstorm with the merciless winds and unrelenting snowdrifts typical of the plains forces a white-knuckled Minnie off the road just outside Fort Collins and into a rest stop where RVers compete for space with truck drivers.
Waiting out the storm, Minnie contemplates her upcoming meeting with John with a mixture of anticipation and dread. And she debates the wisdom of not contacting him ahead of time to let him know she was traveling through Colorado.
Passing time, Minnie ventures out into the snow to explore the rest area building. A stop in the bathroom reveals a slumped body in a stall. The woman is quite, quite dead.
Minnie calls 911 but can’t get through, perhaps the lines are overloaded with emergency calls due to the storm. She then makes the phone call to her old love that she had been dreaming about for years. In all those years, she had never imagined having to tell him about a dead body, about Trouble at 5000 feet.
Each story in the series can stand alone, but to avoid extensive repetition of the backstory, the books would be best read in order.
