Sunsets, Sabbatical & Scandal

Time for another trip to Normal! Mae and the Laundry Club ladies are up to their eyeballs in another murder to be solved. Trudy Bull is found dead on the floor of the Normal Diner. The bank accounts of Mae and several other Normal residents have been hacked. Are the two related? If so, how? And who would want to kill Trudy?

You know Mae can't keep her nose out of things, no matter how much Hank would love for her to do so. This entry in the Camper & Criminals series has Mae going back to her hometown of Perrysburg as part of her investigation. I loved that we got more of Mae's backstory.

This was, as always, a lovely read! Ms. Kappes' writing is pure delight. I'm from a small Southern town, and I can just about hear her characters' voices in my head as I read, accents and all. I did have my suspicions pretty early on of who the killer was, and whether or not the hacking was connected, but it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the story.
