Motorhomes, Maps, and Murder is the fifth book in the Camper and Criminals Cozy Series by Tonya Kappes. If you are a fan of cozy mysteries, I highly recommend this series that is full of quirky characters and has plenty of twists to keep you guessing. If you haven’t read any of the previous books in this series, don’t let that keep you from picking up a copy of this book. There is plenty of background given and it’s easy to get to know the characters and their relationships.
I received an ARC prior to publication and decided to voluntarily review it. Opinions are my own.
I love this quirky series! Lots going on in this latest release – just as the town is gearing up for its annual battle reenactment, a serial killer escapes from prison and is on the loose in Normal set on revenge. Mae has her own problems – an expensive motorhome is stolen from her campground which, if not recovered, could force her into bankruptcy. A wonderful cast of characters make this series come alive – and I always have an urge to go camping when I finish a book in this series! I highly recommend this book as well as the others in the series.
Another awesome Cozy Mystery from Tonya Kappes! I love the Campers and Criminals series and I believe this is the best one yet! Mae West gets into more trouble (No surprise there) in getting involved with of Civil War reenactment. Lots of surprises with murder, mystery, and mayhem throughout this story! Don’t miss any of these books in this series!
Motorhomes, Maps & Murder is Book 5 in the super fun Camper and Criminal Cozy Mystery Series.
This book and series is set in Normal , Kentucky and you guessed it, nothing is normal here!
Mae West, yes that is her real name, is the owner of Happy Trails Campground, has a part in the local Civil War reenactment , Battle at Camp Wildcat. I just absolutely love Civil War Reenactments, they are so fun. Well, usually they are, this one does not go quite as planned and two of the people in the reenactment are actually really dead, murdered. There is a serial killer on the loose in Normal!
Not only that but a camper was stolen from Happy Trails and the owners are suing her to try and take over Happy Trails.
I think this is my favorite book in the series so far, okay I always say that, but this book is SO good! The characters are so complex and keep evolving from book to book. I really enjoyed the Civil War Reenactment story line and also the serial killer on the loose . The plot is so well woven , and the ending was quite shocking.
This author is so good and creating scenes and characters that bring you right into the book from Page 1. I cannot wait for the next book in this Series to see what Mae and her tribe are up to next!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Normal, Kentucky is getting ready for the Battle of Camp Wildcat reenactment. Queenie is in charge with making the reenactment go without a hitch. Following the reenactment, a party will take place at Happy Trails Campground, courtesy of Mae West.
Word is out that a convict, Greaser Gadie, has escaped from prison. He was convicted of killing two hikers, but as the judge read the verdict, Greaser made a promise that when he escaped he’d go after the jurors.
Following the reenactment, Dottie had to inform Mae, that a Motorhome was stolen from the campground belonging to, Frank and Barbara Bassett. The party would have to be moved. After a call to the insurance agent, Mae got some bad news about filing a claim. Dottie made a quick decision that Mae needed to go look for the stolen Motorhome.
The reenactment went well despite a few obstacles, but when Queenie mentioned that some of the actors were missing, and she needed everyone to be present to give a thank you speech. Mae offered to head back to the battlefield to look for the missing actors. Mae finds the actors…but they are dead.
This is such a great series! One of my favorites with a setting in a small town, close friends, a blooming relationship and mystery. I, highly recommend!
I received a free ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
