This is the first book by K.M. Nortman that I read. It is the first of the Frannie Shoemaker Campground Mysteries series. It takes place at a fictional Iowa State Park.
Frannie Shoemaker and her husband, Larry, like to go camping. This particular 4th of July weekend they visit a local State Campground and are joined by Larry's sister and brother-in-law, Jane Ann and Mickey, and family friends, Donna and Rob, all of whom have RVs.
While going for a morning hike, the group discover the body of one of the campground hosts. She's been murdered, and her body left in a cave. There are several suspects, as the victim had been particularly hard to get along with in the days leading up to her death.
I enjoyed this cozy mystery quite a bit. The main characters, Frannie and Larry, are retired, and have been married for many years. The interaction between the two of them, and between them and the other campers, seems very believable. The mystery was fairly well done, and the editing was pretty good. I will be reading additional books in the series.
This is a cozy that counts for the 2014 Cruisin' Thru the Cozies Challenge.
Finished 1/22/2014.
