Life is good for "Garden Girl" Gloria Rutherford. Spring has finally sprung, love is in the air, and no dead bodies have turned up in the small town of Belhaven...lately. It seems as if it's almost too good to be true.

Just as Gloria starts to get settled into her familiar routine, she receives a mysterious message from her older sister, Liz. Certain that her sister, the drama queen, is once again bent on turning Gloria's life upside down for no good reason, she almost chooses to ignore the dire message that she may be in danger.

When a key to her sister's place shows up in her mailbox after Liz mysteriously vanishes, Gloria jumps in with both feet to track her down. Crisscrossing the country with one of the other Garden Girls in tow, the two amateur sleuths find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime.

Gloria soon discovers her sister's mysterious disappearance is the least of her worries.

"Yet another good book from this author--So much fun to read. And this one was almost in my back yard. I really enjoyed this one since I grew up in the mountains of East Tennessee. A great book." Cynthia Graham

"This was a fun book to read with believable characters -This was a fun book to read with believable characters. I am really enjoying reading Hope Callaghan's cozy mysteries. Keep them coming!" - Sylvia Osmond

"Well Written Cozy Christian Mystery - I love that this series is a Christian read with endearing, yet quirky, older characters and the curious situations and adventures they manage to become involved in. Gloria and her friends feel like women you might meet one day or already know. The storyline for this book is somewhat different than the first two books in this series, but just as entertaining and enjoyable to read. The plot takes unanticipated twists and turns and there are surprises. Friendship was also an important factor in this book. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading light, cozy Christian mysteries." RO G'ma

"Good Read - fun book to read, a good story line, glad there was more books in the series. I would recommend this to anyone who liked light Christian mystery reading." Amazon Customer

This is the first book that I have read from this series and it was a great read. I love the quirky, endearing older characters and the curious situations and adventures they managed to become involved in. This adventure takes them on a train trip through the Smoky Mountains, including an informative visit into "moonshine" territory (Gatlinburg, Tennessee) and related regional history.
"Garden Girl" Gloria Rutherford is enjoying life. Until, Gloria gets a disturbing phone call from her sister, Liz, and then nothing. Gloria soon discovers her sister's mysterious disappearance is the least of her worries. Gloria receives train tickets and with one of the other Garden Girls tagging along, the two sleuths begin their adventure of their lives while traveling across the country. Initially Gloria believes that Liz, considered to be a real drama queen, is determined to upset the serenity in Gloria's life once again. Between receiving the train tickets and the mysterious appearance of the key to Liz's residence, Gloria determines it is imperative that she find Liz believing that Liz's life may depend on it. The story reads like a combination light travel documentary and cozy mystery. It seemed that each time I thought I knew what would happen, the plot would take unanticipated twists and turns, with a number of complete surprises. Ms. Callaghan successfully integrated Biblical references and faith based "truths" or mottoes.

I believe readers who appreciate Christian cozy mysteries will absolutely will love this series. I greatly appreciate the lack of violence, sex, and foul language. With a well written plot, this was an enjoyable book to read. Personally, I'm glad there are more books in the series. I would recommend this novel to anyone who favors reading a light, cozy Christian mystery.

This book was exceptional. The story was very exciting. The ending was great. Just the kind of story that I love reading. There was a lot of drama and suspense. The part before the end was quite scary. I could not read fast enough to find out if they were going to make it out alive. This author definitely knows how to write a top notch mystery. I never saw the the that part coming towards the end. It was a real eye opener. She just keeps getting better and better. She has found her calling as a cozy mystery writer. The stories in the books are awesome. We need more authors like her. I love a good mystery, just not the mysteries with profanity and explicit sexual scenes. It is refreshing to be able to read good, clean mysteries.

Over the last few weeks I have been binge reading this series. It is a fun series that is easy to read. Gloria and her group of friends are interesting. I think spending a day with these women would be a blast. Each book makes you laugh and makes you shake your head. Sometimes I think dang these women are smart and other times I think dang these women are crazy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. Needs editing.

I have read other Smokey Mtn. Mysteries, but I must say this one was a great disappointment. I had to say 'huh?' early on when the two women parked the car "Annabelle" at the station, rode for hours and then got off the train, went over and got into 'Annabelle" and drove off to solve the mystery of where her sister Liz was and why she was so mysterious about her clues. There were some other faux paus' during all this time, but the thing with the train ride and the car just really bummed me out. I gave it three stars and stuck with it, but I have to say, there were a few times when I just wanted to chuck it!
