I’m excited to be part of the blog tour for What Happens in Montana.
Before we get to my review, here’s more about the book:
A ghost’s antics, a harrowing moose chase, a hypnosis session, and smuggled booze lead to spilled secrets and betrayal, but do they also lead to murder?
At a hot springs retreat in Montana, whiskey-swigging Maude, the nearly eighty-year-old chef, longs for the glory days when the retreat hosted martini-sipping celebrities instead of long-haired hippies who refuse to wear deodorant. Brooke, feisty, adventurous, and a bit reckless, proposes a reunion at the retreat with her best friends to get away from the chaos of her life with teenagers and the emotional aftermath of her postponed wedding. One of those friends, Tracy, has devoted her life to her children and her husband despite her excruciating boredom. But a long-held secret could cost her the most important friendships in her life. Haunting the place is a ghost who, in life, dealt with tragedy by turning to prostitution which led to her murder over 100 years ago at the very place they all are staying.
What Happens in Montana explores friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness with blunt truth and witty insights. Together, these friends learn to navigate empty nests, infidelity, deception, and poltergeists. Most importantly, they learn their friendship is strong enough to get them through it all.
My Review
What a fun book, if I do say so myself. The beginning caught me right away and I knew I had to finish it. I think my favorite character was Maude, and if she happened to be my neighbor, I’m sure we’d make excellent friends in no time. There was a switch in POV at times, which at first threw me off, but once I got into the groove of the story, it made the entire book go so fast. It’s something you will want to add to your reading list, even if you aren’t a big ghost story fan, because it goes way beyond that.
Purchase a copy of What Happens in Montana by visiting Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Bookshop.org. Make sure you also add What Happens in Montana to your Goodreads reading list.
