Cozy on Up in NC Cardinal discussion

May's books - Campervans, Cooking, and Corpses by Tyler Rhodes - book #1 in Max's Campervan Case Files series; a Kindle Unlimited series with 8 books to start our summer theme of "Adventure Begins At Your Library"! Also, we had Beaches, Bungalows, & Burglaries by Tonya Kappes - book #1 in Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery series. This is also a massive Kindle Unlimited series, but physical copies are available in NC Cardinal.



Amazon and Goodreads reviewers state they love the Rhodes' characters as "fun and flawed" and mystery complication and detail; and for Kappes, it's light-hearted and funny, and Southern-influenced and down-to-earth. What did you think? What did you like most and least about the book (plot, pacing, character introduction & development, balance of mystery + small town setting & life)? Was the writing good (some people have not quite found one or the other up to par)? How soon were you able to figure out who the killer or culprit was; was it too easy or too hard due to a jolting surprise turn at the end? Who was your favorite character and why? What was your favorite moment in the book? Would you read more by either of these authors?
