This mystery centers on Emmeline Helliwell, a special agent with the National Parks Service.
After the death of her mother Emme isn’t herself, her sister is on a dig a world away and she fells alone and lost, especially after her last case resulted in a woman’s death. She had given her boss a two week’s notice and planned to move on…But when investigators found a body in Zion National Park and her boss asked Emme to look into it…It was soon discovered that the victim was one of her high school friend…..She then decided to delay her retirement to take part in the investigation….and the mystery begins.
The author’s prose is effortless and very dynamic. Ms. Maggi knows how to unspool an intricate whodunit mystery with a wonderful cast to entertain us. She placed her drama in the most dramatic settings of all to keep us on our toes till the very end. The imagery is so vivid, no doubt the description will stay fixed in your mind a long time, it has for me.
“A Murder in Zion” is a gripping tale and a real page -turner that brings the breathtaking beauty and the dangers of the wilderness close to home and is also a nuanced tale of how family and career can tear people apart and how religious fanatic and abusive cult leaders can use their power to manipulate and control others.
This story is well-said and well-done
