Naturally all three daughters swarm to her defense.Īlthough the author certainly has a wonderful turn of phrase, as I read the first part of the book, I was afraid that I'd gotten trapped in a routine cozy mystery. When a dead body is found in the trunk of Mama's convertible, the new lawman in town, humorless Detective Martinez, sets out to prove that Mama's the killer, and he throws her in jail. ![]() One of Mace's aims in life seems to be doing the exact opposite of whatever Mama and Maddie want. Mace, the middle daughter in Mama's tribe, works with wildlife in Himmarshee Park and much prefers critters to people. ![]() Marty, the youngest daughter is a librarian, and after growing up with Maddie and Mace, she normally doesn't say much of anything.

One time-line is the “present”, mentioning rescue efforts. My book included a map, showing the usual route, as well as the short-cut taken. This hints at a ghost-story and is followed by the book’s first chapter, a flashback to June 1846. The salvage group had been sent out to find Keseberg …”. The last known survivor of the Donner Party tragedy. That had to be their man: a fellow named Lewis Keseberg. A few members of the tribes have told settlers, a ” … crazy white man who had managed to survive through this … skimming over the frozen lake like a ghost.

When his wife Katie sends him to Colorado for the summer to regain his confidence as a kayaker and. I wanted to write a portrait of a man experiencing a mid-life crisis. It's amazing what reconnecting with old and trusted friends can do for the human spirit. So I rattled his stale cage and put him on a journey to the wild mountains and rivers of Colorado. Wade Jones is a good man, an honest man, a broken man. ![]() |
