Book Details:

Publisher: Walnut Springs Press
Genre: Mystery

This is one of those very fun mystery books where you like the character and think they are the good guy...

and then the author throws in a twist and now you dislike the character and think they are the bad guy...

and then the author throws in another twist and now you don't know if the character is good or bad...

so you keep reading and more twists are given...

and by now you are so undecided that you just sit back enjoy the ride of the story to find out who is good and who is bad...

SO GOOD! A true page turner!

"Penny Thorton’s dreams of being a park ranger start to unravel her first week on the job when she finds a dead bear in Yellowstone’s back country. 

Shots are fired as she runs away, but once she tells the authorities, all evidence evaporates. 

Penny’s aunt Iris, who is bent on eradicating an invasive species of daisy from the park, puts that mission on hold when more bears are killed and she becomes entangled in the mystery. 

After several attempts on Penny’s life, she and Iris learn to trust no one—not even their friends."
