She does it again. Tonya Kappes wrote interesting mysteries in a series. These mysteries are different for every book They still flow with each other. The characters build and develop while also completing the story line for the book. I recommend at least read one book. You will want to read another.

Definitely loving this series already. Book four is a Christmas themed murder story focusing on a famous writer coming to Normal. Abby, the local librarian is the biggest fan of the visiting writer who ends up dead and she is also the prime suspect. Great story. Keeps you entertained from start to finish. Recommend it.

I love this author. Every book I have read from her has kept me entertained. Christmas, Criminals and Camping is no exception. I had a good time from my first peek until the end of the book. I say first peek because I had promised myself I was not reading this until after Halloween. Temptation was too much and I peeked and peeked until I discovered I had read the whole book, before Halloween! We are back in Normal, Kentucky for Christmas with Mae and The Laundry Club. A romance author, a favorite of Abby’s, is coming to stay at the campground! Of course she does not come alone. They are not the only new faces in town either. When the author does a reading at the library, a shocking secret is told. One that devastates and angers Abby. Is she angry enough to kill? Sweet Abby? O. M. G. No! Don’t do this to me Tonya Kappes! Everything points to her. Mae is determined to get the real killer before Abby finds herself with lots of reading time behind bars! What Mae doesn’t count on is the surprise at the campground or how it will affect her. Will Mae and Hank be able to continue exploring their romance when he has Abby sitting in jail? Oh so much is not normal in Normal this Christmas! I enjoyed all the twists and turns of this book. Every time I thought I had it figured out..it would take a turn. The reveal was as shocking as the secret Nadine White had held during her writing career! The author gave us all a peek into an aspect of writing that we all know about but choose to ignore. After all no one wants to think a beloved writer keeps that secret. I really adore the people of Normal. Don’t we all want friends like the ones in our favorite books? I long to find a laundromat like The Laundry Club. I don’t care that I have machines at home. I would gather some laundry just to hang out there. Though, I suppose, being the stranger in town could make me the next victim! Oh the chilling deliciousness of that! I can’t wait for the next book in the series. There is a section at the end of the book that give camping tips, hacks and recipes. Be sure to check those out. In case you are new to Tonya Kappes, her books are full of fun times and a bit of death. There is no over the top violence or gore, no “bad” language, no graphic sexual content. They are just good people, a few bad, enjoying each other and life, or death, in a small town. Some have a paranormal bent to them. I prefer to read her books in order but if you find yourself reading them out of order, I don’t think you will have a problem. She does a quick run down in the beginning of her books so you won’t be left behind.

This book had me checking VRBO for rentals near #Daniel Boone National Forest. The descriptions of the beauty of a #White Kentucky Christmas, with #twinkling lights against the #snowy Appalachian Mountains also had me checking the forecast for Christmas. Oh well. Maybe next year. The storyline was good. I love the characters. The mystery was especially compelling, and the ending made my heart happy. My one negative critique is the editing. The Kindle version is riddled with typos, missing words & clunky sentences, all things easily corrected by diligent proofreading.

This is another great story in the series. I can't wait to start the next one. All the books so far would be perfect if there were fewer grammatical errors, I and me mistakes, and misspellings or word misuse - probably autocorrect, I imagine. And it's possible inclusion in dialogue is a writing technique to * I know it sounds really nitpicky to be bothered by small things like this, but I'm sure I'm not the only reader bothered by distractions that better editing could eliminate. One other thing is overuse of a word or phrase, for example pinch. Count how many times that particular word appears and you'll see what I mean. In spite of these little issues, the books in this series are all highly entertaining and enjoyable and I'm glad I discovered it. Keep writing Mrs. Kappes!

A great Christmas read! You can’t go wrong with a Tonya Kappes Southern cozy mystery. The characters feel like friends and the towns are so charming. In this latest book, Mae’s friend, Abby, is ecstatic when her favorite author comes to town. Unfortunately, things don’t go well, and the woman is found murdered with Abby as the prime suspect. Now it’s up to Mae to clear her name with the rest of her friends and her visiting foster mother. Loved seeing the relationship with Mae and her foster mother change and evolve as well as her relationship with Hank. I can’t wait to see what’s next for the residents of Normal, Kentucky and see Mae and Hank’s relationship grow!

This is definitely one of my favorite series, and I was happy to be able to read it in July when it's very hot out right now. Not that I want snow or anything, but I can read Christmas any time of the year. Mae was getting ready to spend her very first Christmas in her new town and wasn't thrilled when her good friend Abby who was a sweet and gentle librarian was accused of killing a visiting author in the library. Things were heating up a bit with Mae and Hank, so I was a little concerned that she'd get all mad at him for this, but everything worked out just fine, and they had a great Christmas. As a side story, it was interesting to read about Mae's foster mom spending Christmas with them. At first, I didn't want to like this woman at all--she was pushy and kind of uppity. But the more I read, I could really see how much she loved Mae and only had wanted the best for her. She and Mae had a good talk eventually and I wanted to give a mini tissue alert, happy tears though, for that scene. I'll be moving along to the next book soon!
