The Frannie Shoemaker Campground Mysteries #1-3
Camping Can Be Murder [Boxed Set 1]
A set of the first three Frannie Shoemaker mysteries. Frannie and her friends look for relaxation in Midwest parks and campgrounds, but occasionally crime becomes a campsite neighbor. Along they way they meet a bevy of crazy characters and enjoy the sites and local entertainment---from a flea market to a storyteller to a high ropes course. 130 reviews total on Amazon ranging from 4.3-4.6 stars. Readers say 'The humor is terrific, and the mystery and daily camping activities blend well;' 'The characters are so true to life, so believable;' 'Great mystery series;' and 'you end up wishing you were in front of their campfire!' Includes "Bats and Bones" (IndieBRAG Medallion honoree), "The Blue Coyote" (IndieBRAG Medallion honoree), and "Peete and Repeat."

Good books
the first book was dragging in parts but the second and third became easier to follow. the camping setting was very descriptive.

Loved this series!
We go camping a lot but not nearly enough because time is always against us, however; we have started finding more time as we are and we also have family/friends who enjoy it as much as we do. This set of books were delightful as well as entertaining. I can't wait to read of more their camping experiences. Thankfully we have never run across dead bodies (and maybe since my husband is retired law enforcement) I can really get into these books. We have had our fair share of camping mishaps but that is half the fun. I love that pretty everything Frankie and her friends experience are so realistic b but enjoyable at the same time. You won't be disappointed with these books.

This is a 3-book set and as a camper, I loved these books. The writer has clearly camped before.
These are funny, cozy, slightly scary and well written cozy mysteries. They also have camping tips and recipes.

Fun, and very good, mysteries
These camping mysteries, the first three in the series, are so much fun. The mysteries are very good, with fun characters you quickly like and enjoy. Can’t decide if I want to go camping first ... or read the next three books!
