Deserts, Driving, and Derelicts | Tonya Kappes

Welcome to Normal, Kentucky, where nothin' is normal! Mae West is getting settled into the RV lifestyle as the owner of a campground in Normal, Kentucky. Happy Trails Campground, located in Daniel Boone National Park, has started to attract late summer vacationing families who love to hike, swim, fish, and enjoy being outdoors. Betts Hager, owner of several small businesses, is swamped with work and desperate for help with her cleaning business. Mae offers her services, happy about the prospect of a little extra cash. Heiress Tammy Jo Bentley's mansion is the first one on her schedule. Mae makes sure Tammy Jo's house is spotless because the Kentucky Kennel Association's annual meeting is going to be held at the mansion. Fifi, Tammy Jo's high pedigree, insured poodle, is going to be on display and Tammy Jo will be evaluating potential suitors to sire Fifi's offspring. Before the annual meeting, Camille Braun, Fifi's nanny, is stabbed to death. Everyone knows that Camille would put her life on the line *or* lay down her life for Fifi and, apparently, she did. Mae tries her best to stay out of it. Tammy Jo begs Mae to help her; after all, she did find the last killer in Normal. Plus, it's not good for business - or Normal's revived economy - when a murderer is on the loose. Mae has grown to love her RV community and now that she's found a place to call him, she's not going to let anybody ruin it. Mae throws all of her heart and amateur sleuthing skills into bringing the real killer to justice.

Another fun listen. Kindle Unlimited book and free Audible listen. The characters are great and the stories are fast paced. I‘m on to the next in this series.

Business is starting to boom at Happy Trails Camp Ground - after some substantial upgrades & a marketing campaign run by new friend/local librarian Abby. Mae discovers a body during a cleaning job she took on to help her friend Betts. From there is a tangled web of family secrets, hidden motives & pedigree pooches. There‘s also a hint of a love triangle with Detective Hank & Chef Ty both showing some interest in Mae. Another enjoyable listen.

I struggled to get into it. The beginning part just seemed so boring, but the last half really picked up. There were some developments to the series storyline that add some context for later books.
