Blurb:
My summer escape to Camp Willow Creek promised campfires and marshmallows, not murder and mayhem.
If my clumsy arrival to camp, designed for recovery and relaxation, wasn’t enough, then unpacking to a dead body in the woods certainly didn’t help.
Being the first at the scene, Detective Harper, makes me his prime suspect. The camper’s whispers about Donnie’s untimely death makes my curiosity run deep; there’s no way I’m sitting this one out.
Biscuit, my trusted sidekick mutt, and I sniff out clues. What we uncover is a web of secrets slicker than the murky lake bottom.
The other campers motives run sharper than a marshmallow stick. As Dana’s blackmail and Lisa’s love triangle add up to a heap of old grudges thicker than the forest.
Things quickly climax as I’m threatened by an explosion in my cabin and a close call in the woods.
We’ll need more than campfire stories to unravel this mystery; but we better find the truth fast before I’m the next to be roasted.
My Review:
Well, I must say that Tessa Aura has done it again. She has written another great cozy mystery. I was drawn into Maggie and Biscuit’s world from the first page, well, almost, but it definitely began in the first chapter.
Maggie Wright and her little doggie Biscuit was in needed a vacation. Within a few hours after checking into the campsite where they were going to spend a few days Maggie and Biscuit find a dead body in the woods. Maggie being the first one to see the body automatically becomes the number one suspect.
Maggie decides she needs to find out who the murderer is before she is hauled off to jail. Maggie and Biscuit’s investigation leads them to many secrets. They discover that quite a few of the campers have secrets they want to keep quiet about that could put them on the suspect's list.
Maggie but especially Biscuit kept me glued to my chair as I raced to the end with them as they unraveled all the clues to finding the real culprit for the murder.
The more Maggie unveiled the faster I wanted to read as each clue left me with more questions and wanting to know the whole truth behind all the secrets.
The suspense kept me hanging on every word. I can’t wait to read more about Maggie and Biscuit in future books in the Maggie Wright Cozy Mystery series.
I enjoyed reading Fatal Check-In so much that I recommend it to everyone looking for their next cozy mystery! Grab your copy of Fatal Check-In today and meet Maggie and Biscuit!
