Synopsis
Will camping in the country music capital have Mabel kicking up some saw dust… or line-dancing to her doom?
Despite their good deed in Savannah, Mabel Gold’s ghostly friend Irma remains stuck in Purgatory. So when the plucky sixty-something divorcée pulls her haunted vintage camper into a Nashville campground, she’s expecting Irma to accompany her on the tour of the Grand Ole Opry. But as they two-step into a honky-tonk for some live tunes, they’re shocked to encounter two lost spirits stranded there for the past twenty years after their double homicide.
Though St. Peter hints that solving the long-closed case could get Irma through the Pearly Gates, Mabel has little time to uncover the culprit before she’s due to boot-scoot off to the Badlands. But when shady financials surface and threaten to ruin the honky-tonk owner’s run for governor, trying to help the poor souls pass on could land the fearless sleuth in a whole heap o’ trouble.
Can Mabel collar the killer before she’s singing country-western with choirs of angels?
Murder on Honky-Tonk Row is the second book in the lighthearted Ghost & the Camper kooky mystery series. If you like wacky characters, quick-witted banter, and crooners with a twang, then you’ll love Rita Moreau’s clever caper.

Guest Post
About 10 years ago my husband and I set out to travel in an RV. We were fortunate to have a Bluebird and we towed our ford explorer. At first, I was apprehensive about traveling in an RV but now that I look back on the adventure I am happy I got over my fear and enjoyed the ride. We gook thousands of pictures and saw so much of this country that you just have to see in person – the Grand Canyon will bring you to tears – wildlife – people you meet out on the road that you would not meet if you just stayed in your safe zone.
I would tell anyone to just do it but don’t wait.
It certainly has come full circle in that I am now writing a series and traveling in an RV is the setting for the series.
We hope to get back out on the road while we can but in a Tesla Cybertruck and one that is self-driving. I tried driving the Bluebird once and it was just too big to handle. It’s also like a boat you just don’t stop on a dime – you have to slow down and stop carefully.
This time it will be more of a destination instead of traveling all over the west. We will pick a location and stay there probably for most of the summer. At least that’s the plan and then head back to a warm climate for the winter.
Like my character Mabel, I will need to learn to drive the Cybertruck or at least not freak out and be comfortable with self-driving. Probably something in the next 5 to 10 years we will see self-driving become more commonplace. Like cell phones and the internet. It will open the world for older adults who otherwise would have to give up driving and the independence that comes with driving a car.
The interesting thing was when we took off in the Bluebird, we stayed in a campground in Fort Lauderdale which is where my husband and I met and got married and we started our life almost 50 years ago. That’s where I decided it was time to write a book. So, I did in the city where it all began. I’m still writing and now camping with Mabel and Irma until I get back out on the road. You never know where life will take you – just keep moving.
