Forests, Fishing & Forgery

Title: Forests, Fishing & Forgery
Author: Tonya Kappes
Published: July 31, 2018 by Tonya Kappes Books
Format: Kindle, 174 Pages
Genre: Amateur Sleuth
Series: Campter & Criminals #3

First Sentence: “Welcome to Happy Trails Campground and to our party.”

Blurb: It's Labor Day weekend in Normal, and if you know anything about camping and RVing, you know it's one of the busiest times of the year. Unfortunately, Daniel Boone National Park is in danger of being closed due to a drought and local businesses are scrambling for ideas to survive a possible shutdown.

Happy Trails Campground is at the center of a murder in which campers as well locals are suspects. It looks likely that a local resident is responsible for the dastardly deed since the victim is the one person who had the power to shut down the national park, which would be devastating to Normal’s small businesses.

My Opinion: The perfect series to jump in and out of between other books. Full of southern charm and lovable characters. Camper & Criminals is a quirky and cozy series set in the charming small town of Normal, Tennessee and the Happy Trails Campground located in the Daniel Boone National Park.

Unfortunately, this outing was slow and then suddenly it was over. For me, the novella needed less middle rambling and more in the conclusion so the tying up wasn’t so abrupt. That doesn’t mean I won’t go back and read the next in the series since everyone needs a little Mae West in their lives.
