Today I am reviewing “Lanterns, Lakes & Larceny” the 21st instalment in the "Camper & Criminals “ Mystery series by Tonya Kappes. This is one of my favourite cozy series by one of my favourite authors. If I need to escape the chaos of the day, I pick up her books and hang out with the Laundry Club ladies for a spell.
Let me be the first person to welcome you to Normal, Kentucky located in the heart of the Daniel Boone National Forest. I'm Mae West the owner of Happy Trails Campground.
Over the past few months my love life has been on what you'd call a slippery slope. Just this past week I'd resigned to the fact that me and Hank Sharp was caput! Done with. No more!
And when I got a phone call during Bobby Ray's meeting with his birth mother from Hank, I felt like I was wrapped up between a nightmare and a dream.
Let me cut to the chase.
Hank's best friend Jerry Truman is a local private investigator and he's got a HUGE case that includes a dead body. Of course I've not stuck my nose in it because honestly it has nothing to do with me. Those are the kinda murders I like, but now that Hank has told me he's back and helping Jerry, and get this...they need me to use my sleuthing skills to help them, it's now my business.
One, because I love to snoop and two because by the sound of things, Hank Sharp misses me as much as I miss him.
You see, this case will be a double win!
At least that's what I thought until I'm the one staring into the barrel of a shot gun when I found out a little too much information.
The mystery was good, super entertaining and full of twists. We got to see how Ranger Tucker and Hank are together with Mae of course on solving a murder.
We also get to learn a little bit more about Bobby Ray, Abby and his biological mum and how things are working out.
I’m full of anticipation/excitement for Book 22 as it’s Halloween and I want to know more about what’s in store for Hank and Mae!
I highly recommend you read this series from the beginning and enjoy the escapism as much as I do.
I requested and received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my OWN.
