A Trip with Trouble follows Getaway With Murder as the second in Diane Kelly's cozy series, Mountain Lodge Mysteries. The first book introduced the delightful Misty Murphy. Turning fifty, she ended her marriage (on amicable terms) and purchased a run down mountain lodge high in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Feline Yeti keeps her company there and handyman Rocky Crowder adds to the local attractions, as does his Bernese mountain dog Rocky.

It's autumn, time for the women of the Dangerous Curves Motorcycle Club ('wearing more cowhide than a herd of Holsteins') to enjoy their annual rides in the area. They've booked the Mountaintop Lodge for the occasion, and seem a pleasant bunch, aside from contentious Erika. When Misty and her assistant Brynn are invited to join the ladies on a Blue Ridge Parkway ride, they jump at the opportunity. But when they stop for a spectacular view, one member is missing.

They send out search parties and eventually find her body. Accident or murder? Misty wonders if she has a killer staying at the Lodge. As usual, she investigates herself, with a little help from Rocky and ongoing commentary from Yeti - and solves the case.
