SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY WITH A SMIDGEN OF HOMICIDE USA Today Bestselling author Tonya Kappes brings you southern and quirky characters in her mystery series. Her stories are charged with humor, friendship, family, and life in small southern towns. Welcome to Normal, Kentucky where NOTHING is normal. 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 as 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. Follow Mae West as she searches for clues to get to the bottom of this Labor Day campground caper! Dollycas's Thoughts We are back at the Happy Trails Campground in Normal Kentucky for the Labor Day weekend. Campground owner Mae West has a lot on her plate with the campground fully booked and her little dog Fifi due to give birth to three puppies any day. She is also worried about the drought in the area that could shut down her camp and other local businesses. Her romantic life is in flux too. Mae's current guests include some rowdy men celebrating the long weekend with a bachelor party. The groom, William gets into an argument with Ranger Corbin Ashbrook. The bachelors are warned if they cause any more trouble she will boot them from the campground. The next morning William is missing and Ranger Corbin Ashbrook is dead. Mae knows another murder is bad for business so she starts her own little investigation to get things back to as normal as things in Normal can be as quickly as she can. I am enjoying the characters in this series so much. Each is unique in their own way and very cleverly written. I love the way Mae has become close with so many people and that she has grown comfortable running the campground even though she still has things to learn like how to keep her business going in times when a drought strikes. The Laundry Club members are quite a group. Gossip, information, book clubs, and more, these ladies are a hoot. They have also become great friends to Mae. So we have a missing groom and a dead ranger. There has to be a connection, right? Ms. Kappes has tangled things up in a terrific way that keeps both readers and Mae on their toes. Throw in another murder, pick up the pace, throw in some twists and turns, a rumor or two, and the author takes her readers on one heck of a trip. I did figure most of the mystery before all was revealed but with the quirky characters in Normal that did not deter my enjoyment of this story. I was excited to see the pups be born and what was going to happen with Mae's romantic life and if she was going to actually go to her hair appointment and how that would turn out. All the subplots meshed so nicely with the mystery. There is always something happening at Happy Trails Campground and Ms. Kappes takes the time to give us detailed accounts so we feel we are right there on the scene. Whether it be out on a hiking trail or at the birth of Fifi's puppies, at other campground events, or when there is a shocking discovery, all was easily crystal clear in my mind. Forests, Fishing, & Forgery is just the 4th installment of what is now a 33-book series. It will take me quite some time to get caught up but each visit to Normal Kentucky has been fun and entertaining. I hope I get to visit again soon.

This is a spin-off of the Cozy and Camper Criminal series by Tanya Kappes. This time the main character is none other than the broadcast journalist Violet Rhinehammer. She is on the way to her dream job interview when she finds a dead body on the airplane and they have to make an emergency landing. I had a hard time thinking this was Violet and not Mae.

The plot for Barista Bump Off was well thought out. The characters were ones that most of us could identify with. Except for maybe the killer and the victim. This Southern cozy mystery kept me guessing until the end.

Another good Kenni Lowry book by Tonya Kappes. Where does she come up with all of these storylines?

Vistas, Vices, & Valentines by Tonya Kappes is slightly "meatier" than her previous Camper & Cozy Mystery series. The dance contest was in keeping with current trends. The supporting characters were more developed as was the plot. Vistas, Vices & Valentines kept my attention and made this one of my favorite Tonya Kappes' books.

Spoonful of Murder by Tonya Kappes takes place in Honey Springs, Kentucky. Roxy, The Bean Hive, and the whole town are getting ready for the Christmas festivities But a dead body turns out to be a "murdered" dead body and puts a damper on things. The number one suspect is none other than Aunt Maxi. There are several twists and turns in the book and at times you feel like you need a notepad to follow the drama. A fun read that I can definitely recommend
