About this listen

Mae West is getting settled into the RV lifestyle as the owner of a campground in Normal, Kentucky. Happy Trails Campground, located in Daniel Boone National Park, has started to attract late summer vacationing families who love to hike, swim, fish, and enjoy being outdoors.

Betts Hager, owner of several small businesses, is swamped with work and desperate for help with her cleaning business. Mae offers her services, happy about the prospect of a little extra cash. Heiress Tammy Jo Bentley's mansion is the first one on her schedule.

Mae makes sure Tammy Jo's house is spotless because the Kentucky Kennel Association's annual meeting is going to be held at the mansion. Fifi, Tammy Jo's high pedigree, insured poodle, is going to be on display and Tammy Jo will be evaluating potential suitors to sire Fifi's offspring.

Before the annual meeting, Camille Braun, Fifi's nanny, is stabbed to death. Everyone knows that Camille would put her life on the line or lay down her life for Fifi and, apparently, she did.

Mae tries her best to stay out of it. Tammy Jo begs Mae to help her; after all, she did find the last killer in Normal. Plus, it's not good for business - or Normal's revived economy - when a murderer is on the loose.

Fun RV Park Cozy

These are easy listens and so much fun. I love that it is set in Kentucky, as I'm a native Kentuckian myself. And Mae West is the BEST, kind hearted, funny and trying to make up for a million things that her rich, and criminal ex-husband did to the folks in Normal, Kentucky. The little community at the RV Park will keep you entertained and make you wish you had an RV there too.

Much better than the first book.

this series is starting to grow on me. The second book is still a light read but much better.

derelicts

I thought the story was good & enjoyed the humor. I couldn't get over the "breathless" way the narrator spoke. it was just incongruity with the whole story.

Fun and exciting

This one felt less predictable than the first. Audio narration was also less flat and more interestingly done.
