Book Review: End of the Road

Come visit the Black Horse Campground, where mystery abounds!

I have only great things to say about End of The Road by Amy M. Bennett. Vivid writing makes each scene unfold before your eyes. Bennett has a true talent for character development, lively dialogue, and strong plot. Well-seasoned with humor, End of the Road features an enjoyable cast of memorable characters in an authentic New Mexico atmosphere.

Corrie Black, owner of the Black Horse Campground, is spunky, proud, curious, independent, strong, and she has a big heart. When a dead body of a long-time guest is discovered and thousands of dollars stolen, Corrie becomes embroiled in a mystery and a hunt for the thief/killer. She won’t stand idly by while her old flame, the sheriff, investigates. And she’s not sure what to think of the shady, yet attractive, Harley rider who rolls into the campground one night. In fact, the chemistry between Corrie and the two guys was my favorite part. Watch out for flying sparks!

End of the Road is a charming, clean novel with upstanding morals, yet there’s never a dull moment. This cleverly crafted novel never crosses the line into anything distasteful, crude, or gory. While the Catholic characters attend Mass, the Catholicism is subtle and the story easily enjoyed by all readers.

Between the mounting plot and juicy character development, the story moves along at a fun pace. The twists and turns keep you thinking, guessing, and reading. The novel comes to a satisfying end, yet readers will want to revisit the campground and the characters to see where life takes them in the next mystery, No Lifeguard on Duty. And the third, most recently released, book is No Vacancy. I recommend starting this series today!

End of the Road is available in paperback and as a Kindle ebook.
