"A Smoky Mountain Mystery" by Steve Demaree

A woman finally convinces her wealthy husband that they should take a vacation. He is not an outdoorsman and works long hours, so she is surprised when he chooses a chalet in the Smoky Mountains outside of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. All is fine the first few days of their vacation, and then she receives a phone call telling her that someone is trying to kill her. Then her husband disappears. Notes are left on the chalet's doorstep. She receives text messages that are threatening. She is told where to go and when. It is obvious that more than one person is involved and they are not working together. She keeps seeing the same strangers over and over, but none of them threaten her in person. She has no one to turn to, and she is not sure who to trust and who not to trust. She is not even sure of those who work in law enforcement. She attempts to continue to try to enjoy her vacation, wondering if her husband will return, while all the time she is looking over her shoulder.
