Shadow Retreats (Libby Madsen Cozy Mysteries)

Libby's friend Bella Crenshaw has recently joined a new-age, self-help group in the enlightenment movement that is sweeping the country. Love & Mercy has hundreds of devoted members, including many in the Hollywood elite, and Kali Patel and her second-in-command, Uma Devi, have opened branches of the organization across the country, including in southern Arizona. Despite a few reservations, Libby finds Bella's enthusiasm catching, so she quickly accepts an invitation to attend a highly anticipated retreat weekend south of Tucson. The property is an amazing oasis in the desert, and they quickly settle into the quiet atmosphere, with healthful foods, juices, and meditation sessions that instill a wonderful sense of peace and stillness. Then things begin to go sideways. Bella's newest friend in the group, a beautiful California girl named Jill, disappears. Another young woman dies suddenly, and Libby has a disturbing experience at a gathering and begins to notice things that don't seem in keeping with the 'love and peace' vibe she initially felt. Libby wonders---is this a legitimate religious group or some kind of cult? What's behind the disappearances? And where are those windowless white vans going? Can Libby and Shadow figure it out before something terrible happens to Bella--or to themselves?Praise for the Libby Madsen series:"A fun read from first page to last ? an impressively original and deftly crafted read"-Midwest Book Review"Readers know what a sucker I am for dogs, and the Libby Madsen mysteries are some of the best.
