Assailants, Asphalt & Alibis

Another delightful addition to Tonya Kappes' Camper & Criminals series!

Things are hopping in Normal. Folks are in town to go looking for the stash of silver that legend says was hidden in the areas by John Swift. Mae, Queenie, Mary Elizabeth, Abby, and Hank's granny Agnes set off with some more experienced treasure hunters just to see what they might find. Little do they know that they'll encounter not one, but two bodies, and that Mae's adoptive mother Mary Elizabeth will be the prime suspect for the murders.

This story has laughs and twists aplenty, just like I've come to expect from Ms. Kappes' books. The Laundry Ladies are a hoot, and things in Normal are never normal. Agnes is an absolute jewel. I hope we see more of her in future books! And just when you think you've got the mystery figured out, it takes a left turn and goes somewhere you didn't expect. This is a fun, quick read, perfect for a little dose of southern charm and whodunnit.
