Just Add Trouble is the third book in the Hetta Coffey Mystery Series. This time the stakes, and the danger, seem to have ratcheted up pretty seriously – even though for much of the book the most dangerous thing around seems to be a parrot named Trouble who originally belonged to Hetta’s aunt Lil.
Jenks is with Hetta for what seems like a much longer period than in the two previous books. About the time he returns to the Middle East for his job there, Hetta lures her best friend, Jan back with a fake story about a brain tumor. And Hetta and Jan have some interesting encounters with a man who calls himself Nacho. They believe for most of the time that he is a drug dealer because they have seen him in the company of another man, Paco, who really is a drug dealer and who was on the point of killing Hetta and Jenks for gasoline early in the story.
Jan wants to visit the little town of Agua Fria where her boyfriend Chino’s grandmother lives. We met Chino, a whale biologist (among other things) in the previous book of the series. Jan wants to marry him, and Chino wants to get his grandmother’s approval. But the road to the village where she lives has been blocked by a landslide and their only phone line is out. Jan and Hetta do their best to try to get there despite bad roads, insufficient cars, and another encounter with Paco and Nacho, but they don’t make it. That time.
There is plenty of witty banter between Hetta and Jenks, between Hetta and Jan, and even between Hetta and Nacho over their several encounters. But Hetta hardly gets out of one sticky situation before she lands in another one.
The bad thing is that the gang of drug dealers to which Paco belongs is a very large and very organized one, and they are holding the entire village of Agua Fria hostage and forcing them to make meth for them. The good thing is that Nacho, who is an agent of some law enforcement agency, specific details of which remain undisclosed, has a plan to rescue them before this gang kills all of them. Hetta, her boating friends, and the strange group of animals collecting on her boat provide him with a way to put his plan into action.
