Deserts, Driving, and Derelicts is the second book in the Campers and Criminals series by Tonya Kappes. Readers return to Normal, Kentucky where nothing is normal. Mae West has settled into the community and her role as the owner of The Happy Trails Campground, a local campground, nestled in the Daniel Boone National Park. Suddenly, Mae finds herself face to face with someone from her past and another murder investigation. She tries to stay out of it but her own curiosity keeps pulling her back in. Mae won’t stop until the murderer is found. Now that she has found a community to love and belong to, she will do what she must to protect her new home. Can she find the killer before he strikes again?
Deserts, Driving and Derelicts is filled with the hijinks of the colorful and quirky residents of Normal as they once again have a murderer in their midst. From rumors and petty feuds, everyone has an opinion about who the killer is but they are right? The identity of the killer surprised me but made sense as the motive was revealed. It was a quick and fun read for a lazy afternoon. There were moments of laughter and gasps of surprise. I look forward to reading the rest of the series and read about the town’s future adventures. If you enjoy a cozy mystery filled with quirky characters, I highly recommend Deserts, Driving and Derelicts. I would recommend starting with book 1 Beaches, Bungalows and Burglaries.
Deserts, Driving, and Derelicts is available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook
