The Lady of the Lake by Karen Musser Nortman
4.0
Donna Nowak took a breath and grinned.
Frannie and company are spending the weekend at Old Dam State Park at the recommendation of Donna. Donna spent some time in the area in a foster home near there. She loved the area although the foster home left a lot to be desired. The Lady of the Lake is a local ghost story that Frannie is interested in exploring. A local fair provides good entertainment with a Fifties/Sixties dance. Donna is frightened when she runs into her former foster father. The next day, Frannie and Jane Ann find him floating in the lake. Of course, Donna is the prime suspect.
I really enjoy camping with Frannie and the gang. These books are as close as I will come to camping now so I'm glad they are fun. I love the interaction between Frannie, Larry, Jane Ann and Mickey. Donna and Rob are the younger campers of the group as Rob is still working.
The introduction of a romantic mystery writer was a nice touch. The barefoot goddess worshipper was just enough quirkiness to make you smile. I have heard of Sisters on the Fly and enjoyed their inclusion in the story.
Frannie can't help but start investigating with Jane Ann's help. You would thing that her retired police officer husband would have a little more influence over her. Although, I suppose these would not be as fun to read.
I like reading the camping tips in each of the books. I may try a couple of the recipes. (In my own kitchen, not out in the wild.)
I look forward to the next book.
