Goodreads Synopsis:
Sedona, AZ is a tourist town that lures people from around the world who believe there is more beyond the veil of reality. They come for the whispering pines, Hopi legends, vortices, magic crystals, and healing springs. Enter Cal Novak, a spunky editor from Atlanta, Georgia, who gives up the city life because she is searching for more time, more adventure, more meaning. The magic of her new hometown does not disappoint. Behind the curtain of every window there are secrets waiting to be uncovered. For those searching for more, there’s no place like Sedona.
Review:
Cal Novak moved from her home in Atlanta to Sedona with her grandmother after her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. The climate in Sedona was better for her illness. Cal gets a job as an editor for a magazine about crystals, but it isn’t enough work for her. She also gets a job at a new tourist attraction that’s opening. She is a tour guide that leads groups on hikes around caves and cliffs. However, Cal suspects there’s something strange happening at this new attraction. The owner is suspicious, and almost all of the employees have been brought in from outside of Sedona. Cal decides to investigate to figure out what is happening with this new business.
This was a great, fast paced story. It’s fairly short, under 250 pages, so it was a quick read. I liked how it showcased the culture in Sedona. The town was a big tourist location, so the residents promoted their natural attractions as well as their magic crystals and healing environment. I also liked the mystery that Cal had to solve about what was really going on behind the scenes at her new job.
Sedona is a great, light mystery!
