Synopsis
A Trip with Trouble proves that in the Blue Ridge Mountains, life in the fast lane could end in a crash.
When the ladies of the Dangerous Curves Motorcycle Club take over the Mountaintop Lodge for their annual autumn ride along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Misty Murphy couldn't be more thrilled. Every room is full and the adventurous women even invite Misty and her assistant Brynn to join them on a ride to admire the colorful fall foliage. Hotel handyman Rocky Crowder is happy to keep an eye on the lodge for the day, and the ladies set out for a fun ride on the scenic road.
The skies are clear, the air is crisp, and the leaves are gorgeous. But what starts as a perfect ride turns worrisome when the tail gunner—the last rider in their group—fails to show up at the Craggy Gardens overlook. Cell phone service is spotty in the remote, mountainous area, and the group is unable to connect with their friend. Might the missing woman have simply run out of gas? Or is something far more sinister afoot?
The ladies are determined to locate their ride or die, and Misty is equally determined to help them. But will they be able to solve the mystery when the scenic route seems intent on hiding its secrets?

I really enjoyed the women’s motorcycle club that stayed at the Mountaintop Lodge. Each member of the group definitely had their own personality and I know I was wondering which one would end up dead.

I really enjoyed the women’s motorcycle club that stayed at the Mountaintop Lodge. Each member of the group definitely had their own personality and I know I was wondering which one would end up dead. It was really nice of them to include Misty and Brynn on a ride on their motorcycles because Misty was interested in the motorcycles. The ride turned to tragedy when the last rider didn’t appear at the overlook where the remaining women had stopped to regroup.
I know I was surprised by who ended up dead because I was expecting another woman to die. However, when the dead woman was revealed, I felt the killer could only be one person. That being said, I think Ms. Kelly did a good job with providing other suspects because it just as well could have been one of the other suspects.
I think Yeti having his/her own chapters throughout the book is an interesting twist. I also am glad that Misty is taking a chance on Rocky after her divorce and went on a date with him. I am looking forward to more stories in this series and hope that her ex and sons show up for a visit because I would like to see how they interact with her new friends.
