Tents, Trails & Turmoil

The busy tourist season is just about to start in Normal, and Mae West is getting the campground ready. But when a body is found on one of the trails nearby, and the campground is closed for the police investigation, Mae and the Laundry Club ladies know they've got to get this thing figured out, quick. Otherwise, the whole tourist season may be a washout. But is Mae's investigation going to spell big trouble for her relationship with Hank?

The latest in the Camper & Criminals series from Tonya Kappes is chock-full of Southern charm, as usual. Have I said I really want to go visit Normal, Kentucky? Well, I do. Growing up in a small Southern town, I can relate to the characters - the colloquialisms they use, the way they gossip, the way there's always at least one finger in every pie, and the way that they really care about each other. (Well, maybe except the ones doing the killin'.) The pace was fast, and there was no shortage of suspects to look at.

I love Kappes' books because they're enjoyable and quick to read, and because they remind me of home. They always make me smile!
