    About this audiobook

    Maxie McNabb, the irresistible Winnebago-driving sixty-something-year-old, is back-and criminals from the frigid Iditarod Trail to the scorching Southwest had better beware. With her canine companion, Stretch, in tow, Maxie is "the most refreshingly original protagonist to come along in years" (Rick Riordan). And this time, she sets out to turn one on-edge town back into a peaceful pueblo….
    One of the best parts of zigzagging the country in her Minnie Winnie is the possibility of endless adventure-and Maxie McNabb is always up for trying new things. So she and little Stretch head for the languorous heat of Taos, New Mexico, where Maxie plans to learn how to weave.
    But everything changes for the sleepy town when a local woman attempts suicide. A casualty of her husband's midlife crisis, she has been replaced by a newer, sexier model. And to top it off, a sleazy con man has set his sights on her.
    Even though she's on vacation, Maxie is determined to help the poor thing. And with her nose for trouble, she thinks she can do it. She'll leave no mesa unturned until she brings two dogs to justice-neither of which is trusty Stretch….

      I enjoy these cozy mysteries by Sue Henry. Maxie McNabb is a widowed lady from Alaska who travels in her 30 foot Winnebago with her miniature dachsund, Stretch. In this novel, the second in the series, Maxie moves to Taos, New Mexico when the whether outside of Phoenix starts getting too warm in May. One reason she chose Taos is because of the many artists who live there. Maxie knits and does other fabric arts and she has been ordering her yarn from a place in Taos that specializes in weaving. One of the first things she does in town is go to Weaving Southwest to get some more wool. And that's how the trouble starts. One woman who had been taking weaving classes was found almost asphyxiated in her car. The woman, Shirley Morgan, denies that she had been trying to commit suicide. Maxie gets involved and invites her to stay in her motorhome but is dismayed when Shirley disappears without a word the next morning. Then Shirley is found dead in her bathtub apparently having slit her wrists. And Maxie's motorhome is broken into and searched while Maxie is out. Then Stretch is kidnapped and Maxie is told to get him back she has to give the kidnappers what Shirley left for her. Maxie does manage to get Stretch back even though she has no idea what the kidnappers want. She leaves town but soon returns when her conscience (or her dead husband's voice) makes her realize she has to help solve Shirley's murder. Henry includes lots of details about Taos and the surrounding area as well as much information about weaving and wool dyeing. It was just the sort of quick, light read that I wanted for our vacation in Alberta.
    • 1/5
      6 hours, 52 min. Overly detailed boring murder mystery. I skipped the 5th disk and didn't miss much. Boring. She details the dying process of yarn etc. which has nothing to do with the story. Too much small talk dialogue.
    • 4/5
      Because I recently traveled to Taos NM where the book is mostly set, I enjoyed revisiting it in this latest Sue Henry. Henry includes lots of details about Taos and the surrounding area as well as much information about weaving and wool dyeing. That can be tedious, if you're not into it.The murder mystery part of the book is interesting. You will be surprised at whodunit and why.
    • 2/5
      Maxie and Stretch star in this Sue Henry mystery (her Alaska mysteries are more numerous). I imagine Sue to be the template for Maxie. The mystery takes place in Taos, New Mexico, where Maxie gets involved with a woman who is shortly murdered. Entertaining tale. Henry is an almost indifferent writer, but drives her story along nicely. She has a gift for description as well. Lots of good details to learn about the settings of her books are a bonus. I've read almost all her books, as they are predictably entertaining.
    • 2/5
      I know I liked the last book I read by her, but this one.... Nothing happened until 100 pages into the story, and since the book was only 243 pages long, that's a big chunk of the book. Even then, the death mentioned was an article in the paper, and it was just a curiosity, not something the characters were concerned about or investigated or anything. And at the end, one of the mysteries wasn't even conclusively solved. To make matters worse, the book started out in the present, went back in time a little way, then went back in time again to the start of the story. That can work, if something's actually happening, but nothing was. Prologue: look at a mountain, reminisce~~>Chapter 1: walk through some sand dunes, decide to go back to where she'd just come from, reminisce~~~>Chapter 2: a few days earlier. No suspense or anything at all to make the reader go "ooh, I wonder what brought her to this point" which is, IMO, what you need to do that sort of jumping back in time. The book was more a slice of life story than a mystery, which may indeed be what was intended, even though it's subtitled "a Maxie and Stretch mystery", and I'm trying to not let expectations color my opinion of a book, but I find slice of life stories boring. And did I mention the mystery? Not completely solved? Bah.
    • 2/5
      I didn't care for this story. Possibly it would appeal more to someone who travels in an RV in the Southwest. I had the feeling I was being taken on a guided tour rather than being involved in a story and the lives of the characters. I also had major issues with the solution, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. The other problem were all the ominous warnings and portents at the end of the first four chapters, with pretty much nothing happening in the next chapter.
    • 4/5
      Maxie McNabb and her mini dachshund, Stretch, travel across the country in a small winnebago, haveing adventures. She's late middle aged. Fun but I didn't finish it.
    • 4/5
      Because I recently traveled to Taos NM where the book is mostly set, I enjoyed revisiting it in this latest Sue Henry. Generally I like both of her series. However, the plotting seemed off, with improper foundation set for the denouement.
