Wilderness guide Crystal Rainey leads a group of college students to a private campground amidst the awe-inspiring Olympic Rain Forest. The excursion is ruined when the charming hostess Roxie is discovered standing over the land owner’s body, murder weapon in hand.
Enlisted to investigate the crime to absolve her friend, Crystal descends on the quiet city of Forks to find loggers, developers, and eco-protesters circling the property, intent on either exploiting or protecting the bastion of old-growth forest. The list of suspects is intimidating. Can Crystal find answers in a community determined to keep her in the dark?
My Review
Spring Upon a Crime is the second book in the Seattle Wilderness Mystery series by ML Erdahl. Having read the first book (Winter Takes All), I knew this would be a good read.
While the book is part of a series, it can easily be read as a stand alone.
Crystal Rainey has a little more experience now as an Outdoors Adventure Guide in the Seattle wilderness area. During her latest hiking/camping trip with a group of college students, one of the property owners is killed, and it appears that Crystal's good friend Roxie is the main suspect. Donning her part-time sleuthing cap, Crystal sets out to prove her friend's innocence.
Crystal encounters a number of interesting characters in her endeavor, and it's these encounters that make the book a lot of fun to read. There's also a little side story going on with Crystal and her new love interest.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to those who love a good cozy mystery.

Thanks for having me on your blog today! I love that you have read both books in the series! I just wtote "The End" on the first draft of the third book, Summer Assault." It has a lot of editing to undergo, but I want to release one a year. Thanks for reading and stay healthy everyone!
ReplyDeleteI've visited the Olympic Rain Forest and the Forks area. Great setting for a mystery.
ReplyDeleteThe rain forest is a great place to kill people.
DeleteWait, let's rephrase that....It's a great place to write a fictional murder mystery where a fictional character is murdered. That sounds way better, and probably will interest the FBI a lot less. ML
