"MURDER ON THE CLASS TRIP definitely gets a high score from me!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Mystery Cozy | Mystery Amateur Sleuth

Lee Hollis brings readers another installment in the Maya and Sandra Mystery series. This time, they are acting as chaperones for the SoPo High seniors as they go on a trip to the capital. Alongside their son and daughter, they will have to manage a group of unruly high schoolers as well as solve a murder.

Sandra’s soon-to-be-ex-husband, Senator Stephan Wallage, has an intern who gets involved in a very sticky situation. To avoid a scandal, he asks Maya and Sandra to help but the FBI don’t appreciate them sticking their noses in their case, so things do get quite hairy in this novel.

I find it interesting that the setting and overall concept of this are quite simple. It’s about true amateurs who don’t seem like the type to solve murders. However, Maya and Sandra do make quite the team when they decide to work together.

I enjoyed the beginning of this book very much. It captured my interest immediately and the free-flowing writing made the rest of the story go by in a flash. I do notice a difference in writing style and that might be due to the author trying out different things. All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a more laid-back mystery and who likes a school setting. MURDER ON THE CLASS TRIP definitely gets a high score from me!

SUMMARY

It's goodbye Maine and hello Washington, D.C. as Maya, a private investigator, and Sandra, a pampered housewife and P.I. in training, play chaperone on a high school class trip to D.C. with their kids. The last thing they expect to encounter is another murder!

Friends, moms, and P.I. partners Maya and Sandra have left their hometown of Portland, Maine, on a school trip to Washington, D.C.—where a killer has just added murder to the itinerary. . .

Drafted as chaperones, Maya Kendrick and PTA president Sandra Wallage are accompanying the SoPo High seniors to the nation’s capital—much to the embarrassment of Maya’s daughter Vanessa and Sandra’s son Ryan. Now both moms are about to find out which is harder—shepherding unruly high schoolers or solving a murder. The last sight they expected to see on this trip is a female intern who works for Sandra’s soon-to-be-ex-husband, Senator Stephen Wallage, in a fatally compromising position.
 
Desperate to avoid scandal, Stephen begs Maya and Sandra to solve the case. But their FBI counterparts—tough-as-nails agents Markey and Rhodes—are far less enthusiastic about the meddling of two “amateurs.” With suspects ranging from senators to students to stalkers, Maya and Sandra must follow a twisty trail of clues so they can catch a killer and survive to make the return trip . . .
