When legendary sports agent Veronica Townsend opens a tributary summer camp where baseball
star John Jensen grew up, her dream may end before it even begins. Cancellations pile up and the camp
might close before the official grinding opening after a lifeguard ends up dead. To save Camp Dream
Catcher, Veronica must uncover secrets and find the killer.
Missy, a shy, 30-year-old, single woman who has lived her entire life in Queens, is doing her boss a favor by serving as the camp’s bookkeeper. Devoted to Veronica, Missy goes through a lifechanging experience at a camp that awards scholarships to inner-city kids.
Ashley Webb, the camp’s co-director, has taken a sabbatical from her job in Omaha to oversee the camp’s day-to-day operations. Since evidence reveals the killer most likely is on the camp’s staff, Ashley is concerned Veronica is in denial the camp needs to shut down until law enforcement officials uncover the person responsible for shooting the handsome lifeguard.
Reggie Gordon, the camp’s other co-director, is a former African American Major League Baseball star who vows to help Veronica. Because he grew up in the projects in Chicago, Reggie sees the benefits of a camp that caters to underprivileged kids.
When obstacles ensue, it appears the camp will be forced to shut down, in part because she made some risky financial decisions to open ahead of schedule. Veronica, though, is resolute the camp will not shut down, so she can honor John Jensen, “The kindest man I’ve ever met.”

MY REVIEW
Sports Agent
Veronica Townsend opened Camp Dream Catcher to give underprivileged kids an
experience they would remember all their lives. When one of the camp counselors
is murdered, it puts the camp in jeopardy of going bankrupt. But Veronica will
do everything in her power to keep the camp open. Even if that means she has to
solve the murder herself.
It was fun
trying to stay ahead of Veronica’s theories, and I had my own suspicions. Although
I enjoyed the plot and the characters, it was distracting how much information
was repeated unnecessarily. The book would have been better with less working.
Also, not being a baseball or sports fan, I thought there was too much unneeded
baseball discussion. Some is understandable, but too much makes the story
uninteresting. Other than all that, I really enjoyed the read.
