The Rockets’ Dead Glare (by Lynn Cahoon)
The Tourist Trap Mystery series by Lynn Cahoon takes place in cozy South Cove, California. Jill owns the local coffee and book store and consistently inserts herself into the latest crime to be solved. As the small town prepares for its annual July 4th celebration, the new volunteer fire chief is exerting his power on local businesses by demanding they meet his expectations of fire safety. In a bizarre turn of events, the fire chief, Barry, is found dead inside an old barn after it’s burned by the fire department in a training exercise. Despite dating a detective, Jill can’t resist conducting an investigation of her own. I’ve read a few books in this series and find it just okay. I’ve mostly read the installments set during a holiday season. This is likely my last one.
