    About this audiobook

    Welcome to Normal, Kentucky, where nothing is normal.

    Librarian Abby Fawn is star struck when her favorite romance author, Nadine White, has rented a cozy camper at the Happy Trails Campground for the winter months.

    Abby is devastated to find out Nadine White is nothing like the person she portrays in interviews or on social media. In fact, Nadine White is not nice at all, and Abby lets her feelings known that she thinks Nadine is a fraud . . . after she finds out Nadine has a ghost writer.

    When Nadine White is found dead in the Normal Library, Abby Fawn is Detective Hank Sharp's number one suspect.

    It's time for Mae West to put up her camping gear for the winter months and put on her sleuthing gear to figure out who is framing Abby Fawn before Abby is the ending in Nadine White's final chapter.

      I think this one is my favorite one yet! I liked that there was finally a resolution to the love triangle. The ending took me completely by surprise. I’m seriously loving this series!

      Campy and cute cozy mystery
    • 4/5
      The town’s librarian, Abby, is thrilled when a favorite author of hers is coming to spend the winter at the RV park to work on her next book. But things don’t go well for either one of them, especially not for the author. It’s up to Mae to help solve the crime, and it will be up to Hank, that extraordinary cop, to keep Mae safe. This series is filled with quirky but likable townspeople awash in southern charm.

      I love this series of cozy mysteries. This one is so much fun. The characters are all such fun. I loved the twist and turns that happen in this series. I look forward to reading many more of this authors books.

      Christmas, Criminals and Campers by Tonya Kappes is the fourth tale in A Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery series. The Laundry Club is having their monthly book club meeting where they are discussing the latest Nadine White book chosen by Abby Fawn, librarian and the author’s biggest fan. When Betts Hager tells the group that Nadine is coming to town to stay for a few months and will speak with their group, Abby is extremely excited. Abby is surprised by the author’s rudeness and dismayed when she learns the author utilizes a ghost writer. Abby becomes angry and makes some remarks that she soon regrets. Hank and Mae are enjoying their first real date. On the way home, they notice the library lights still on and stop to investigate. They find Abby standing over Nadine with a bloody knife in her hand. Mae knows that Abby did not kill Nadine, but she must prove it to Detective Hank Sharp. As if Mae does not have enough on her plate, her foster brother, Bobby Rae has invited their foster mother, Mary Elizabeth Moberly to visit for Christmas. Mae left the Moberly home when she was eighteen and has never looked back. Mae has bitter feelings toward Mary Elizabeth about the way she was raised. Is Mae going to get the festive holiday she planned? Mae is going to need a Christmas miracle to solve the murder before Santa comes riding into town. Join Mae and her friends in Normal, Kentucky for a merry adventure in Christmas, Criminals and Campers.The books in A Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery series are best read in order. It will allow readers to understand Mae West and her history. I found Christmas, Criminals and Campers to be nicely written with Tonya Kappes’ conversational writing style. She has a way of drawing the reader into a story and making them feel welcome. There is plenty of Christmas spirit as Mae prepares for her first Christmas at the Happy Trails Campground and is hosting a Christmas dinner at the campground for anyone who wishes to attend. The mystery is traditional with a close friend of Mae’s accused of the crime, and Mae needs to prove her innocence. I thought the solution was apparent, but I liked following Mae as she questioned suspects and sifted through the clues. I would have preferred a solid resolution to the crime. I found the reveal to be incomplete (missing details). I like the cozy feel of the town and campground. Normal is a unique small Southern town that I would love to visit. There are quirky characters that enhance the story and all our favorites are back in Christmas, Criminals and Campers. I am glad that we get to learn more about Mae and her growing up years. Mary Elizabeth Mobley is visiting for Christmas which allows Mae to deal with unresolved feelings. There is romance with Mae and Hank finally going on their first date. There are recipes and helpful RV tips at the end of the book. Christmas, Criminals and Campers combines a charming small Southern town, friendly characters, a mystery, romance and humor into one winsome cozy mystery.
