Overview
It's egg-hunt season, but Lexy Campbell is spending Easter hunting a killer! WINNER OF THE LEFTY AWARD FOR BEST HUMOROUS MYSTERY Not even Cuento's Easter bonnet parade can distract Lexy Campbell from conception woes and missing tourists Bill and Billie Miller. The Millers' vintage Mustang has been abandoned, its interior covered in blood. Is this a double murder, and if so, where are the bodies? Why were the Millers spending the night in their car? Did they pitch up at the Last Ditch Motel only to be turned away? The Trinity for Trouble are quickly on the case! As they start to identify the guests staying at the motel the weekend before Easter - including a Goth and a barbershop singer on stilts - disturbing evidence comes to light. Can Lexy see through all the deception to unmask the truth and save the Last Ditch? Fans of Janet Evanovich and Sarah Strohmeyer will fall head over heels for this addictive mystery that's full of twists and laugh out loud humour.
