Cold Case Psychic Universe
Dead Mad
When an ugly argument erupts between Ronan, Jude, and Fitzgibbon, nearly bringing the men to blows, Tennyson suggests a lesson in teambuilding to get their strained relationship back on track. He books the warring detectives into a beautiful, but remote, campground in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. With no electricity or WIFI, what could possibly go wrong?
After stocking up on tents, sleeping bags, fishing gear, and enough snacks to feed a family of hungry raccoons for a month, the guys set off for the Bare Necessities campground. Trouble abounds from the start, when Jude cues up his carefully curated road trip playlist with a twangy classic from a country music legend. It’s all downhill from there as the men face off against the elements, local wildlife, strange fellow campers, and each other.
Will Ronan, Jude, and Fitzgibbon find their groove and work together to survive the weekend or are they doomed to remain dead mad?

It seems Jude, Fitz and Ronan are arguing with each other and Ten, Jace and Cope think it would be a good idea for the 3 of them to go camping for a weekend to work out their issues.
The 3 are booked into Bare Necessities Camp, and its only when they get there and discover naked men that they realize its a nudist camp.
This is a short book but it was a good read and the 'revenge' on the partners who stayed at home was great.

Good Fun Read
Ronan, Jude and Fitz are the best of friends and colleagues so to see them all bitching and falling out with other and nearly coming to blows should have been concerning but I found them amusing. They act like overgrown kids most of the time but they excelled themselves this time!
Loved the way their husbands punked them but their idea of revenge was lame. Their husbands got the last laugh and the prank was mutually beneficial.
Short and amusing.

So much fun!
Super entertaining short featuring all three of the detectives who're in need of a little bonding time after a brotherly altercation...and they get it thanks to an intervention by Tennyson. Fun and funny - can't wait for the next full-length Salemverse book.

Hilarious
Dead Mad was a brilliant and hilarious short story - I couldn't see for crying with laughter at one point. My only complaint is that it was over far too soon.
