Katherine Zoe Camden, Kitzi for short, and her best friend,
Beth, are looking forward to their long weekend at Camp
Green Clover much more than Beth's daughter, Shannen. The
beading retreat promises to be even more exciting than
usual when they learn that a buyer from the Tivolini
catalog will be there. Kitzi is excited for her friend;
this could be the big break Beth needs to get her jewelry
design business going.
Within hours of their arrival, Kitzi discovers why Shannen
was less than thrilled at the prospect of the weekend away.
When a distraught Shannen begs to borrow Kitzi's SUV, Kitzi
goes along for the ride. Both women are disgusted to
discover Shannen's father is having an affair with one of
the beaders attending the retreat. Things become even more
grim when the woman is discovered floating in the river,
the victim of foul play, the very next morning.
Suspects abound in this clever addition to the Kitzi Camden
mystery series. Kitzi, a former Texas senator, is a strong,
intelligent character, outspoken and determined to find the
real killer and protect her friends. BEAD ON TROUBLE is
well written, with credible characters and situations. I
enjoyed the different relationships Ms. Smith creates for
her characters, bringing past and present together in a few
nicely done twists. The story moved quickly, and the
resolution was both believable and satisfying.
Meet Kitzi Camden, former stateswoman. When she retired,
Kitzi dreamed of doing what she loves best--beading. She
certainly didn't plan to try her hand at amateur sleuthing.
But lately, trouble seems to find her wherever she goes--
even deep into the woods.
When a young beader is killed at a beading retreat, Kitzi
is faced with almost as many suspects as there are beads in
her bag.
