+Corfman Clan Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Behead Me, Cliff Knowles Mystery #6, is here and it's heavy on the geocaching! I enjoyed this book, as I have the previous Cliff Knowles mysteries. My only complaint, and it's a bit petty, is with the scorpion sting, its effects, and treatment. Quote
+The Rat Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks for the plug, Corfman Clan. Here's another recent entry to the geocaching novel list: The Lost Frenchman by Cully Long. That's the same author who wrote How to Puzzle Cache. Quote

+Team DEMP Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 This is now out. There are three geocaching scenes in it, all in San Diego. Awesome! Can't wait to read the latest in your series. Quote
+Team DEMP Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 It only took a couple of days where I couldn't put the story down and I wrapped up A Will to Die, the latest story by Russell Atkinson in his Cliff Knowles series. There are references to geocaching throughout the gripping story, all of it well presented for those not familiar with geocaching or if you've been caching for years. I'd strongly suggest reading all of the Cliff Knowles series via eBook or traditional print versions. I saw a stack of print copies at a recent Mega Event I attended and they were all gone before the event was half over. Now I need to find some other books/series that are as well written and entertaining as the Cliff Knowles series. I hope Russell Atkinson (aka The Rat) has the next book in the series is in the works! Quote

I inadvertently failed to enroll it in Kindle Unlimited and Amazon Prime at the time of publication, but I have now fixed that so members of those groups can borrow it for free. Quote
+The Rat Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I just read a review of Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman. I haven't read it, but the review says it is based on geocaching and involves a 12-year-old heroine solving mysteries and ciphers around San Francisco. It gets good reviews and is primarily aimed at pre-teens. I don't know if the author is a geocacher. Quote
+The Rat Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Cached Out is free this weekend (Kindle version) at Amazon. This is the first time in a year and will be the only time in 2017. Edited May 26, 2017 by The Rat Quote
+pseudoprime Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 One of the main characters in Empire Games by Charlie Stross is a geocacher. It's set in an alternate-history 2020, so there are some weird things about geocaching there that I'm not sure entirely make sense. (Something about cachers competing to muggle each other's caches.)

+barefootjeff Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 Cached Out is free this weekend (Kindle version) at Amazon. This is the first time in a year and will be the only time in 2017. I couldn't resist the offer . A great read, couldn't put it down! Many thanks and I look forward to reading the others in the series. Quote
+dicentra Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Bump. Does anyone have any other books to add to the list?? Quote
+cowgirl68 Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Morgan Talbot's books are available now in a set on Amazon, called the Caching Out Omnibus. This includes First to Find, Death Will Attend, and Nine Feet Under. They are light enjoyable reads with likable characters. I will have to check out the Cliff Knowles mysteries! 1 Quote
+The Rat Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 There are a lot of geocaching novels out there now. If you don't want to buy one, you may be able to get your local library to buy a copy. My local library just ordered three at someone's request (not me). These are especially good for those who still prefer a good old paper copy instead of an ebook. Those can get expensive if you do a lot of reading. Quote
+Rathergohiking Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 The Frenchman by Cullu Long is a great book about Geocaching in Utah. Can get or on iBooks. Quote
+Rathergohiking Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Cully Long is the correct spelling of the author Quote
+The Rat Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) It's here! Cliff Knowles is back! Ten geocachers are invited to an exclusive all-expense paid adventure on a private island owned by the controversial new owner of the geocaching company. What could possibly go wrong? Geocaches that are death traps. A ferocious storm. A body. A murder? Some adventures can be too thrilling, as Cliff Knowles learns once again. This one has LOTS of geocaching in it!

+ignatiusreilly Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 As soon as I saw Cliffhanger was published, I bought it for my tablet. May not sleep tonight if I start it! Quote

TheTreeTwiggies Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 The second book in the Candymakers series by Wendy Mass has some geocaching in it (the author herself is a cacher Quote

+The Jester Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 My wife is reading Murder on Wheels by Lynn Cahoon, which starts off with some geocaching. Quote
+brodiebunch Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 FIVE by Ursula Archer. I read it several years back. Its a murder mystery where I think body parts and clues are found in geocaches. Quote
TheTreeTwiggies Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Oh- Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman also has some mentions of geocaching. A large part of the book was inspired by geocaching as well. Quote

Its a murder mystery where I think body parts and clues are found in geocaches. Based on your post, brodiebunch, I just read FIVE - the author does a pretty good job of mixing hard-core caching with accessibility for the non-caching reading public; no mean feat! I think the trick was that the characters have to learn caching starting out as complete newbies, adding skills and complexity as the story evolves. So, cache-experienced readers like us get to watch the education happen and maybe see what's coming, and cache-novice readers are carried along, learning along with them. Good job, and a definite recommendation from me. 1 Quote

+gprgrl Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 A new one for the ever-expanding list: Missing Evidence (Jim Snow Mystery Book 2), by Rex Kusler The Horstmann brothers, Todd and Gary, both medical doctors in the small town of Wilkie, Nevada like to hunt for geocaches on Friday nights. But one Friday night, younger brother Todd sets out alone and doesn’t come home. His body is discovered near the site of the geocache—missing an important part. The entire town is terrified at the prospect of a serial killer on the loose. But with half a dozen suspects, no one knows who it could be. Jim Snow travels the two hundred and fifty miles north to Wilkie to begin the search for leads—and possibly the victim’s missing head. Quote
+The Rat Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 The 12th Cliff Knowles Mysteries novel is now available from Amazon. It's not free on my website yet, but eventually it will be. It's got a lot of geocaching in it. Brace for Impact 3 1 Quote
