Staked for Murder at Bennett Pines: A Small-Town Campground Cozy Mystery

About Staked for Murder at Bennett Pines: A Small-Town Campground Cozy Mystery

Someone was supposed to fall off that ridge trail. Unfortunately for them, I know Bennett Pines too well to believe it was an accident. I only came back to Pine Hollow for one season—to help my parents save our struggling campground before returning to my carefully planned life.

Then a longtime seasonal camper turns up dead near the restricted ridge trail. The official ruling? An accidental fall.

I’m not convinced. The victim had secrets, several people had reasons to want him gone, and the evidence along the trail refuses to fit the simplest explanation. With my loyal dog Ranger at my side, a few good friends never far from coffee and opinions, and Deputy Nathan Cole warning me not to get involved, I start asking questions that some people in Pine Hollow would rather I leave alone.

In a town like this, everyone knows everyone. Which means someone knows exactly what happened on that ridge. The closer I get to the truth, the clearer it becomes that returning to Bennett Pines may be more dangerous than I expected.

And I’m not leaving until I find out who turned a familiar trail into the scene of a murder.
