Dru’s Short Musing:
The Trinity for Trouble team is on the case when an abandoned car is found filled with blood, but where are the occupants?
The author serves up a smorgasbord of events and sets the stage for a solidly wicked plot that had me immersed in what was happening from Lexy’s woes to Todd’s many preoccupations to the twins asking for help with news about their parents and to Kathi trying to solve this puzzling case with her teammates.
The writing is on all walls as this book stands out among its peers with a fast-paced and well-written mystery where nothing is as it seems and the gumption of not laughing at the wrong moment especially when hilarity ensues. Every turn that was taken kept me more involved with what was going on, and the red herrings upped the game until that one strategically placed twist told me to sit back and enjoy the ride, because it was going to be awesome and it did not disappoint. Overall, this enticingly tantalizing whodunit, and one of the best books in the series, is a terrific read and I look forward to more exciting adventures with Lexy, Todd, Kathi, and their friends.

Book Synopsis:
It’s egg-hunt season, but Lexy Campbell is spending Easter hunting a killer!
Not even Cuento’s Easter bonnet parade can distract Lexy Campbell from conception woes and missing tourists Bill and Billie Miller. The Millers’ vintage Mustang has been abandoned, its interior covered in blood.
Is this a double murder, and if so, where are the bodies? Why were the Millers spending the night in their car? Did they pitch up at the Last Ditch Motel only to be turned away? Are they really dead? The Trinity for Trouble are quickly on the case!
As they start to identify the guests staying at the motel the weekend before Easter – including a Goth and a barbershop singer on stilts – disturbing evidence comes to light. Can Lexy see though all the deception to unmask the truth and save the Last Ditch?
Fans of Janet Evanovich and Sarah Strohmeyer will fall head over heels for this addictive mystery that’s full of twists and laugh out loud humour.
