Mae West goes from champagne brunches to living and owning a campground after the FBI wipes out her life thanks to her husband’s Ponzi scheme.
Mae rolls into town expecting to sell the place and move on. Instead, she trips over not one but two dead bodies, making her the world’s most reluctant crime magnet. Meanwhile, the locals—half friendly, half giving her the side‑eye because her ex stole their life savings—provide enough gossip to power the entire state.
This book is cozy, cute, and sometimes downright silly. Mae can be as oblivious as a goldfish, and the lead investigator acts like he got rejected by a Hallmark audition and never recovered. Some characters feel half-finished, the editing could be tighter, and I can already sense a love triangle brewing like bad coffee.
But honestly? The small‑town charm works. The supporting cast is fun, the ending twist is solid, and the whole thing is an easy, breezy read. If you want a serious, fast‑paced mystery, this isn’t it. If you want something light, quirky, and happily ridiculous in places, this will hit the spot.
And yes, I’ll be reading the next one.
