Frannie and Larry Shoemaker love taking their grandchildren, Sabet and Joe, camping with them. But at Bluffs State Park, Frannie finds herself worrying more than usual about their safety, and when another young girl disappears from the campground in broad daylight, her fears increase. The fun of a bike ride, a flea market, marshmallow guns, and a storyteller are quickly overshadowed. Accusations against Larry and her add to the cloud over their heads. Frannie begins to puzzle out the mystery Are the itinerant road workers as much of a threat as Frannie thinks? What about the lone woman camper who also disappears? Or is the girl's deadbeat dad behind it all?

Larry and Frannie Shoemaker are off on another of their camping adventures with friends, and their two grandchildren, Sabet and Joe, are with them. All seems well except for a little girl who rides her bicycle with very noisy training wheels that drive Larry crazy--until that very girl disappears, right after complaining to another camper that Larry frightened her.Suddenly Larry, a grandfather and retired police officer, is in the minds of many of their fellow campers the prime suspect in a child's disappearance.
Frannie just can't leave the investigation to the police, and soon she has their friends, Mickey and Jane-Ann, involved in the search as well. With clues pointing in several directions, and the missing girl's frightened mother having latched onto Larry as, at least, her prime suspect, it's only a partial comfort when a familiar face from a previous adventure turns up to lead the official investigation.
Overall, this is a good, strong mystery, with nicely developed characters who are likable and engaging. There's some reference to past events, but that acts to give the characters more depth without making it necessary to read the previous book first. It is unfortunate that, early on, a critical event depends on one character acting decidedly out of character. It's commented on at the time, and never really accounted for. Regardless, though, it's still an excellent story. The icing on the cake for this audio version is the narrator; Michelle Babb has a voice that's both pleasant and strong, capable of cutting through road noise effectively for those of us who listen to books in our cars!

The Blue Coyote The Frannie Shoemaker Campground Mysteries Book 2 (Audible Audio Edition) Karen Musser Nortman Michelle Babb Karen Nortman Books Reviews
I was especially taken with this camping mystery series and it doesn't disappoint! This second book in the series was much better written than the first (although I did enjoy the first!). Characters were well-developed and one could tell that the author spent lots of time with her children and grandchildren to bring out the most minute nuances of child characters. A great cozy, I really liked the fact that time had passed between the solving of the first mystery and the second. Often times cozies can be over the top in the characters solving mystery upon mystery in the same town or time frame. In this series, I felt I was in the campground with the characters. Both books' endings were intriguing; real page turners! I look forward to reading more camping adventures of Frannie and Larry Shoemaker!

Five Stars...Enjoy every minute of this series so far and looking forward to reading book three. The characters are all so relatable and I LOVE the way Karen has woven such believable characters into such crazy ADVENTURES that keep me going to the point where I don't want to put the book down...and hope the dogs can find their food and water on their own (just kidding...they are too beautiful. & spoiled to be neglected)'...but Miss Nortman has a GREAT way of getting the heart racing and the BP up... a WONDERFUL GIFT...KEEP THE ADVENTURES GOING!!!
This was an interesting read. It combines a love of nature and camping with a mysterious child kidnapping. The characters are believable as are the scenarios. The heroine is a grandmother with a nose for sluething. She has a habit of getting g involved in crime scenarios, against the wishes of her husband, a retired cop.
When a little girl disappears at a campground Frannie and company are staying at, they frantically try to find her before it is too late.
I have enjoyed the series so far and this one did not disappoint. I wish the characters would show more sense in avoiding dangerous situations but that doesn't keep me from reading. This isn't great literature but it sure is an enjoyable story.
Book 2 in the Frannie Shoemaker Campground Mysteries was a very good read. The description of the campground was excellent and I could picture myself sitting around the campfire with all the characters.
The mystery revolves around a young girl who goes missing from the campground. The plot is handled exceptionally considering the seriousness of the situation in a cozy mystery.
Each book is a stand-alone but characters from the first book are also in the second so reading them in order is a good idea. I will definitely continue to read the series.
The joys of going camping, trying to read a map, making u turns when you are pulling a trailer, before you get to the campground. No wonder a person just wants to sit by the camp fire. Taylor was kidnapped,and returned to her mother safely. Frankie and Larry get involved, and there is more than just annoyances. Otherwise a nice camping get together. Enjoyable, as you sit by the fire of what all is going on around you, and hopefully not about you.
This is the second book in the Frannie Shoemaker Campground Mystery series. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author and I’m already hooked.
The main characters are likeable and well-written. The plot intrigued me and kept me guessing. It is fast-paced.
I listened to the audio version. The narrator, Michelle Babb, always draws me into the stories she narrates. Her voice is perfect for story telling. She does a great job with it.
I’m adding this series to my list of cozies I want to read.
