About this ebook
USA Today bestselling author Connie Shelton takes her readers on a wild trip, in distance and in time, in the fifteenth installment in her original series.
Charlie Parker and her husband Drake Langston accept a job with Gold Trail Adventures in Skagway, Alaska, flying visitors by helicopter to remote cabin sites to experience the outdoor lifestyle and seek their fortunes. It isn’t long before one of the guests finds a set of bones in an old mine, remains that date back decades. His hands full with present-day cases, police chief Sam Branson tells Charlie and her new reporter friend, Mina Gengler, that they are free to investigate.
A second body is found, bringing up a lot of questions. Charlie gets a peek into the lives and times of Gold Rush-era Alaskans when she discovers a box of old letters written by one of the stampeders and begins to wonder if it's possible that the two bodies are connected. And, ominously, it seems that someone in Skagway today doesn’t want the women to dig for the truth.
“Charlie is just what readers want.” –Booklist

We have traveled quite a lot and now divide our time between the American Southwest and a place on the Sea of Cortez. For relaxation I love art -- painting and drawing can completely consume me. I also really enjoy cooking, with whatever ingredients I find in whatever country we are in at the moment. We walk every day and love watching and photographing wildlife."

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Vacations can be murder by Connie Shelton This the second book in the Charlie Parker mysteries series. In the first book Charlie Parker is an accountant and partner with her brother in their own small private investigations firm looking after the firm’s accounts, taxes etc. In this the second book in the series she seems to have become an investigator in financial matters. While holidaying on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, she takes a helicopter tour where she and the pilot see a body in a particularly inaccessible area of the island. Back at the heliport Charlie gives the pilot her business offering help if he needs it. Of course he does, leading to a holiday romance and some unofficial investigation.Plenty about the romance and the island of Kauai, but not much about the murder mystery,All in all rather disappointing. I hope she will settle into her character that showed so much promise in the first book
