You shouldn’t be here...

Hi, Evie Bloomfield here and welcome to  the Cozy Chicks Great Thanksgiving Giveaway. 

 Leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of Tandem Demise!!

 Well, it’s back to Mackinac Island and life with no cars and only horses, bikes and foot-power to get around. Fall is in full swing with the leaves changing colors, a chill in the air and gardens ablaze with mums of every hue. 

            I love this island that is part of Michigan and located where Lake Michigan meets Lake Huron. Life on Mackinac moves a bit slower with cell phone service not all that reliable and internet not all that important. Why look at a screen when you can a take bike ride to the Grand Hotel for high tea or visit Fort Mackinac for a musket drill or firing a cannon.

   

      The only way to get to Mackinac is by ferry. Taxis here are horse drawn affairs moving at about five miles an hour and riding bikes is a breeze with no horns honking or traffic to maneuver around. This is an island for getting away, for relaxing, for enjoying life with friends and family. It’s life the way it used to be. 

            After solving two murders, I thought life on Mackinac Island would settle into boredom until I found out Nate Sutter, island police chief and once-upon-a-time under cover cop is on the run. Some badass guys from Nate’s Detroit days think he stole money from them in a champagne smuggling operation and now they’re headed to the island to get their loot.   

As if that isn’t enough, last night Fiona, my BFF and local newspaper editor, and I found a dead guy clutching a champagne bottle on the pier. Surely the dead guy and Nate are connected but how? Not only did the dead guy have the champagne but he had a picture of someone in his wallet. Could it be the killer? Someone who stole the loot from Chicago? Could it be Nate Sutter?
            Right now I’m on my way to break into the Mackinac Island police station to find that picture. I’m not great at breaking and entering but I’ve picked a lock or two in my time. 
           
Wish me luck and let me know if you’ve ever tried to break into someplace you shouldn’t have been. 

 I’ll give away a copy of Tandem Demise from the answers.

Smugglers on the hunt, a police chief on the run, lost loot and a dead wedding planner have the Mackinac Island regulars riding in circles 

 Hugs, Evie

    I have never broke into anywhere, although I have trespassed on land before!
    I hope one day I make it to Mackinac Island!

    My older brother Rob knows how to pick locks. He worked for a locksmith for a while after coming home from Viet Nam. I wish I'd asked him to teach me. LOL

    Which is why both of my house locks are sold as guaranteed pick proof.

    I used to work with someone who went to vacation on Mackinac, and brought back souvenir keychains for everybody. I had that thing on my key and keyring collection (7 keychains, 10 keys) for years! :) The pace on Mackinac sounds wonderful, especially after I told my husband that we were going to move if our little town got a second traffic light. :p
