Third Crime's the Charm

Here's where writers set themselves up. I liked the Once Upon a Trailer Park, Twice the Crime This Time, Third... idea in the titles, but that meant that the final book of Trailer Park Tales had to have THREE crimes. Talk about making work for myself!

Throughout this series, I tried to showcase "types" of senior citizens (knowing of course that we are all unique and therefore never typical). One of our couples has been married forever, and they love each other dearly. That does not preclude anger at foibles, like leaving one's shoes in the way or spending too much time crafting. Another couple is newly married and still unsure of how to talk to each other. A third couple is dealing with the husband's decline in health, which changes a marriage in ways that can create stress. The fourth couple is adjusting to a new way of life after decades of working a farm, where there was always plenty to do. Secondary characters are the park complainers, those who think they should run the place, and those who are just...odd. You don't get to choose your neighbors in an RV park, but it's all part of the life. Where else could you meet so many different people from all over the nation?

Third Crime's the Charm presents three crimes. A police detective comes into the park and then disappears. Next we discover that park residents are appearing on dating sites they never signed up for. And finally, the men who come in to empty out a former resident's trailer seem a little hinky to our eight unofficial investigators. This book is available here for $2.99.
