Book 22: Jackets Jack-O-Lantern and Justice
Fall at the campground is a favorite time of the year. The bursts of orange, yellow, green, and red pop on the falling leaves, creating a colorful path along the trails for all guests at Happy Trails Campground is a real life picture that could never be captured by a camera.
It’s a dead body that chills everyone to the bone! When Hanks asks Mae and the Laundry Club Ladies to snoop, they are the first to put on a costume to bring this haunting tale to an end.
Book 23: Santa Sunrises and Suspicions
Around here we say BLESS HER HEART and sometimes it's just not in a good way.
Take Neva Hudson for instance, bless her heart, she's the town gossip, not to mention someone who likes to toot her own horn.Two toots too many 'cause bless her heart, someone has strangled Neva and left her for dead in of all places...the church's Christmas play.
There’s no shortage of suspects since her tongue lashed a few too many lies about people, which keeps the Laundry Club Ladies and Mae West unwrapping clues faster than a kid on Christmas.
Book 24: Vistas Vices and Valentines
Join Mae West and the Laundry Club Ladies as they cha cha and twirl their way around Happy Trails Campground as they put on some sleuthing dance shoes to bring closure to this southern and fun cozy Valentine's mystery.
After a little snooping around, we discovered there were deep running feuds and passions behind those sequins and smiles that gave motive and opportunity to kill for the desires to win the most coveted dancing title.
WHAT READERS ARE
★★★★★ Chris Mayer
"I love the familiarity of Tonya's books. I can put a name and a face of someone I know to every one of her characters. They are all people we know. Also, being a Kentuckian, I can relate to, not just the people, but the places, the sayings, the way of life. Also I love her humor. We MUST have humor."
★★★★★ Toni Raimondi Nyman
"I love all of Tonya Kappes's books. They are "happy reads". I know I can sit down and feel good. The stories flow and the characters are - well characters! I do have a slight problem keeping up, but then it's time for a binge read. With all that is going on right now it's good to have her books to count on."
★★★★★ Allyson Abu-Hajar
"I enjoy the humor in a Tonya Kappes book, and also with a series, I'm acquainted with the characters. I grew up in a small town, so the setting of a small town brings warm feelings."
★★★★★ Christine McGee Sobczak
"Love the way a Tonya Kappes cozy mystery takes me away from my everyday life. My first book was a Charming crime. I fell in love with this series first then devoured everything Tonya wrote after that. I love the warm and heartfelt feelings I get from her books.

The stories are getting better, but the extra sweet voice of the narrator is starting to wear on me for some reason.
