About the Book:
It is fall in Normal, KY, and the town is celebrating the season with a Bourbon Festival.
Mae West is trying to enjoy the festival and a night out with Hank. While trying to dodge the one question every keep asking (When is the wedding?) Mae overhears an argument between the bourbon king’s son and another man and woman. So, when she stumbles over a body with ties to the Bourbon King, her hackles are raised.
Mae, Dottie, and the rest of the Laundry Club Ladies start poking around into the Bourbon King’s complicated life and soon find out there's more than bourbon underneath the lid of a bourbon barrel.
My Review:
Campfires, Courage, & Convicts might be the 27th book in the Campers and Criminals series but it’s as fresh and exciting as the first book and just like coming back home. The Bourbon Festival is in full-swing and Mae can’t wait to celebrate with Hank. During the festival, a disturbance between three people threatens to ruin the festivities, but the altercation is over almost as quickly as it starts. When one of the people involved in a very public argument is later found dead in the Daniel Boone National Forest, Mae has her hands full.
The author kept me guessing about who was responsible. There were several characters who fit the bill, along with outside characters. The book was full of twists, turns, red herrings, and shifts in direction. The mystery would start out going one direction, then completely shift a new way. The suspense build-up was written well and intensified right until the very end.
As with the rest of the books in the series, the mystery isn't the only thing going on in the book. Tonya Kappes did a terrific job weaving the main storyline and several smaller ones together. The characters are wonderfully crafted, realistically written, and I feel like I'm coming home to Normal, or wherever the Laundry Club may be, with every book in the series.
I was provided a copy of this book to read.
