This cozy mystery was a bit different than others because there was a backstory to it, about two very peculiar twins, adult women with an unhealthy relationship. Frannie Shoemaker and her friends meet these two women at a campground where they are spending some days. It was a very entertaining listen, and I honestly could not figure out who was the murder. There were so many twists and turns, and surprises along the way, that I was completely hooked.
This book is the third in the series but it can be perfectly read as a standalone, as the characters are briefly introduced again, and there is no information that must be known from previous books.
Michelle Bab did a wonderful job bringing all the characters to life, and providing a very expressive narration, with subtle changes to make the characters recognizable. Listening to a book narrated by Babb is always a pleasure.
This is a nice series that I would recommend to anyone, especially to those who are into cozy mysteries. I am looking forward to listening to book four.

Such a sad murder that needs to be solved in this one, but with some silly inserts the book keeps you entertained throughout.

This book was just what my heart wanted to read. Very easy to listen to in audiobook format. Great narrator. Fantastic story. I read this in one siting. I can’t wait to start the next one.
This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. It makes me want to get outside and camp and do all the fun outdoor activities that this crew is always doing. I love hearing about life around the camp and the meals they put together. This mystery was good, if a little predictable. The narration was great and I can’t wait for the next one!
I just love listening to these books just before I go to sleep. They are so funny and quirky and Michelle just brings the story to life.
Can't get over how much happens to one group of people

I did enjoy this story, a mystery with various layers that keeps the reader guessing and second guessing. Many interesting and colorful characters with brief narratives of their personality and background. I enjoyed the setting, but then I love camping. I was appreciative that the author placed her notes about camping that include tips and recipes at the end of the story as I find many cozy mysteries can be distracting, even frustrating, with too many of those odds and ends at the end of a chapter. My critique of the book was that it was a bit repetitive in the clues of the mystery and some of the grammar in the story wasn't correct, not to the extent of being distracting.
3.5 stars and will continue reading the series.

Virginia was about to close the laptop, but decided to check her sister's account, automatically entering the password.
This is the third book in the Frannie Shoemaker series. I somehow missed book two but will definitely go back to read it.
Frannie and husband, Larry along with Larry's sister, Jane Ann and her husband, Mickey are once again joined by Rob and Donna for an RV trip. Ben and Nancy complete the quartet. The couples travel to various locations from their home base of Iowa. This trip takes them to Minnesota and the Burden River Valley. The group starts out the trip with a bike ride into town. They meet identical twins Virginia and Valerie on their way to Burdensville. The twins are camped near the group at the campground. The Nature Center, an old power plant and a possible meth lab become intertwined in the story.
Frannie is nosy without being obnoxious. Her degree of observation is keen and helps local police to gather information. It doesn't hurt that Larry is a retired cop. An injury keeps Frannie from joining in on a variety of activities and gives her time to work out the puzzle of the twins' death.
The over the top campground manager and an aging country singer wanna-be add interest to the plot.
I am fascinated by RV travel and this series feeds my interest. The camping tips are a nice touch. As are the recipes for snacks. I enjoy this series and look forward to reading more.
