I didn’t realize it was a mystery until I went to Goodreads. Thought it was a regular historical fiction. Mysteries are one of my main go-tos. Definitely on my list now!

This cover is so cool! I’m reading Yosemite Firestorm by Tanya Stowe. The first line is: “Olivia Chatham pulled her ranger Jeep into the parking lot of the hiking trail near Yosemite’s Tuolumne Meadows and groaned.”
