Cozy mystery with a side of chocolate.

Emotionally reeling after the death of her grandmother, Gemma Channing is settling into Coyote Wells, the hometown where she grew up, after a ten-year absence. While coming to terms with the loss of her Gram, disturbing things begin to happen. Women are disappearing. Just when she begins to realize Coyote Wells has changed—and not for the better—she’s forced to bump heads with Lando Bonner, her ex, a man who still carries around a grudge. But since she’s digging for answers trying to explain exactly how her grandmother died, she needs his help. It won’t be easy. Lando has never forgiven her for leaving him. Tensions flair between the two as a killer grips the town in fear. Is it kill or be killed? Who will the killer target next? And when will it all end?

Mystery and a romance. Why not?
A story about a small town in Northern California, settled by a tribe of Native Americans after it was abandoned by the original white settlers. Two women have gone missing, the sheriff has no leads. The story is interesting and kept me turning the pages

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyable!

Gemma Channing was devastated and filled with guilt as she buried her beloved grandmother, Marissa Sarrazin. Marissa had been more mother to her than her own mother, yet Gemma had left Coyote Wells and her gram for ten years – now it was too late to make amends. But she would continue the legacy of the Coyote Chocolate Company that her gram ran for forty years, doing her best to make the chocolates that the locals all loved, while living in the house she’d grown up in that her gram had left her.

With two women missing, Coyote Wells’ chief of police, and Gemma’s ex, Lando Bonner needed all the help he could get. There was rivalry between Lando and Zebediah Longhorn, police chief on the nearby reservation, but would they be able to put that aside to find the women? Confusion, secrets and strange happenings – but Gemma was determined to find answers, with or without Lando and Zeb.

Mystic Falls is the 1st in the Coyote Wells Mystery series by Vickie McKeehan and it looks like I have myself a new series! What a fabulous read! Well written characters and although a few of them, it was easy to keep track. Plenty of action, suspense and mystery laced with a little bit of magic made Mystic Falls a delight to read. I’m glad to see Ms McKeehan has at least 2 more in this series 😊Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another fine mystery told very well
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2021

This is the first in a series of five novels based on life in a small northern California beach town.
Coyote Wells was once a ghost town, abandoned when the timber ran out and re-inhabited by members of the Five Tribes of Native Americans from the reservations in the area, Natives who once called that area home. Coyote Wells has a three-block main street and has only the basic services offered.

Gemma Channing has recently inherited her grandmother's home, the home where she was raised in Coyote Wells and the Coyote Chocolate Company, a small shop downtown. Gemma quits her job as a corporate attorney at her stepfather's firm in San Francisco and moves back home much against the wishes of her mother. Within days she is back in the fold, back in touch with Leia, her best friend since second grade, and many of her high school friends are still around and glad to see her. She hates that she allowed her mother to dictate her post-high school life, and regrets the ten years she missed with her grandmother.

Her ex-husband Lando Bonner, the sweetheart she married at 18 and divorced at 19, is now the chief of police at Mystic Falls, and there is still a relationship there. One of a set of triplets, Lando is son and siblings to Genna's dearest friends. Whether or not any relationship with Lando is a good thing will be apparent only in time.

Time is something that Lando doesn't have much of. Normally quiet and a bit boring, there have been two young women who disappeared in the last few months, leaving behind purses and phones and money, and assumed dead. And Genna's grandmother's death looked at once again perhaps is a possible murder as well. Lando and the Reservation Chief of Police Zeb have their hands full. And all the women in Coyote Wells are in danger.

FYI - I live in a small desert town near New Mexico's reservations, and our foothills are full of 'Indian Wells', holes drilled into large flat rocks with harder rocks down about as far as an arm can reach. The holes collect water in our few showers of rain, and the stones keep it cool so it doesn't all evaporate. I am assuming Coyote Wells are derived from the same sensible water storage holders in this arid land. And we call that classic pick-up a five-window truck.

The writing is always detailed and easy to follow in VMcKeehan’s books, and this book was the same. We easily connected to the characters. There was a good bit of mystery and suspense. Though the crimes were slow to solve, we were constantly being given other details and other side stories to keep entertained. I’m not a big fan of paranormal, but there just a little bit of mysticism in the book. Just enough to make it interesting but also not make you roll your eyes. Quite an enjoyable read and I bought the next one.

Cute and quirky storyline. Funny and read out and grab you characters. If you know who Stephanie Plum and like her, then most likely you will enjoy this book. A good read for teens and early 20's.

I purchased this not knowing this author and discovered a writer that i will keep on my list.

Mystic Falls is a very enjoyable read with a little bit of everything to keep a reader interested and engaged.

The characters are well developed and interesting to get to know. The storyline is believable and flows well.

I love when I find an author that is new to me and one I want to continue to read and follow.

I highly recommend this title for readers of this genre.

When I started reading this book I wasn't sure that I'd finish it. It seemed like everyone was rude and unfriendly to Gemma. But the more I read, the more I liked it. It turned out to be a really good book.

This is a very good mystery, but there’s much more. Some parts are about second chances with love, friendships and families. There are also parts about Native life and lore combined with Second Sight ability.

I really liked how much effort you have put in to your writings, some connected the dots while some left hanging may be for the next book. The historical background was good, but a bit of editing would have been good, as I actually turned some pages and didn't feel that I missed anything. Overall loved the story line.

When Gemma takes over her grandmothers chocolate shop she has no idea what is in store for her. Meeting up with her ex husband whom she still has strong feelings for, a growing ability to see beyond the norm, and the mysterious death of three women are the makings of a great book. And this one delivers. I loved the characters, the story and the way you really couldn’t work out until the end what was going on. Do read it and have a pleasant time doing so
