A Camping Conundrum
A Liz Adams Mystery #5
by Stacy Wilder
Genre: Cozy Mystery
A heart-pounding cozy mystery filled with twists, turns, and
canine charm. Perfect for fans of page-turning whodunits and outdoor
adventures!
Private Investigator Liz Adams isn’t thrilled when her husband, Brad, suggests
a camping getaway to South Carolina’s picturesque Poinsett Park. The mention of
camping brings back a haunting memory of a childhood Girl Scout trip that went
terribly wrong. But for Brad, the park is a refuge—a chance to relive happy
moments from his past.
The long weekend escape takes a dark turn when Brad discovers a woman’s
lifeless body in the park’s peaceful lake. The victim, the landlady of a strip
center in the neighboring town of Sumter, was notorious for making enemies
among her tenants. With no shortage of motives but no clear suspects, Liz and
her truth-sniffing Labrador, Duke, embark on a quest to identify the culprit.
As Liz races to uncover the truth and put the killer in jail, the couple
experiences one camping disaster after another. Will justice be served? Or will
an unexpected twist of karma change everything?
