A Good Van is Hard to Find
Octavia Fields doesn’t have it in her to pass up a good protest. When she learns of the chance to help keep another resort from being built on the edge of a reservoir in the Rocky Mountains, she loads the picket signs into her hippie van, Betty, and meets up with her fellow protestors. But when Betty is “kidnapped” with an acquaintance’s possibly-illegal property inside, Octavia relies on some new friends — Jemma, Kitty, and Granny — to help track down Betty before Deputy Chase’s law enforcement friends find her.
A Good Van is Hard to Find merges Octavia Fields Mysteries with Clear Creek Mysteries in a story fans are sure to love, while being the perfect introduction of each series for new readers!
This story takes place after the first book in each series, yet stands on its own and can be enjoyed without having read any of the books.
