Summary
The Blue Coyote is an IndieBRAG Medallion honoree and a finalist in the 2013 CLUE Awards.
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?

Stranger danger
I enjoyed this book. It was a bit slow getting to the mystery but I enjoyed the addition of the children to the group of campers and the fun they had until the disappearance, marshmallow guns sounds so cool if you have an uncle Mickey. The camaraderie and teasing between the friends is humorous, especially some of the one lines.The mystery was good and I liked it the way each of the campers had a part in finding clues and eventually solving the mystery. There is a darker side to this story or meaning (child trafficking) but I think the author covered it very well and left you with something to think about. This is the third book in this series I have listened to and I can say you don't need to listen to them in order because they are stand alone books and each book is just as good as the last.
Frannie and Larry have there two grand children with them on this camping trip. With a warning from there over protective son to keep a close eye on them, Frannie is hyper vigilante and nervous of every stranger they speak to but she had no idea that the strange that could pose the most threat to a child was here own husband, Larry. That is exactly what the mother of a missing girl thinks and with the cops breathing down his neck, Frannie starts investigating. Could it simply be a custody battle gone wrong? What about the three workmen that keep finding reasons to be around children? One thing for sure is she knows Larry would never hurt a child not even his own grand children. Frannie just has to convince everybody else.
I think the narrator is a good choice for this series of stories and think her pleasant voice helps make it a must listen.

The Blue Coyote
The Blue Coyote is a fantastic book listen. I didn't realize that I would be pulled into the story like I was. The Author did a great job writing the story. The Narrator really did an amazing job reading the story and really put the effort in to bring it to life. I wasn't disappointed. loved every second of the book.

An entertaining campground romp/mystery
This book is written like a famikusr sofa. you get into it and it feels comfortable , so you stay. it's a mystery about a disappearance in a campground. So intrinsic to the story are the familiar routines and habits of the camping fraternity. it's easy to follow and entertaining. Michelle Babb's narration is clear and with a steady Southern drawl, a delight to listen to.

Great Mystery
I did enjoy listening to Michelle Babb. Making this great book even more of a great listen
I found myself entertained and wanted to keep listening, it has well developed and likable characters.
Camping is not my favorite thing and now I know why. From trying to read a map and oh yes kidnapping. Taylor was kidnapped, but is returned to her mother safely. Frankie and Larry get involved. Make sure you sit by the fire .

An Entertaing read
I enjoyed this book although the storyline i thought was a little weak and predictable. Stranger Danger is something that sadly we all have to be aware of in these times and this story emphasises how important it is. Michelle Babb does a great job of narrating the story and once again her ability to give characters their own unique voices enhances the overall enjoyment of the book. I look forward to listening to the rest of the books in this series.

Absorbing story
Format: audiobook
Narrator: Michelle Babb
While camping with their grandchildren Frannie and Larry Shoemaker find themselves dragged into a child abduction incident with the finger of suspicion pointing at Larry!
Cosy mysteries are not usually my favourite genre but this is the second Frannie Shoemaker story I’ve listened to and I find myself enjoying not only the mystery but the banter and relationships between Frannie, Larry and their group of friends.
Good narration and a good story, what more do you need.

good story
I did enjoy the story but have a problem with narrator, it felt she was droning a bit but as I say the story was good enough to carry on listening to
