Murder at the Campfire Cookout - (Beacon Bakeshop Mystery) by Darci Hannah (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When Lindsey Bakewell leaves behind her lighthouse bakeshop, her boyfriend, Rory, and her Newfoundland dog, Wellington, for a glamping trip with her mother in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the bears leave them alone--but a killer doesn't. . .

Converting the old Beacon Point lighthouse into a bakery is as adventurous as Lindsey cares to get. Her mother, Ellie, a former 80s fashion model, likes her creature comforts even more--until she sees a business opportunity for her Beacon Harbor fashion boutique when she's invited by the Mitten Kittens Glamping Club on a woodsy getaway.

Far from roughing it, the ladies will be warm and cozy in chic vintage campers. Ellie insists Lindsey come along to win the campfire cookout contest. Campfire cooking has come a long way from bacon and beans. Soon Lindsey is making pizza, berry cobbler, and gooey Carmelita camping bars.

But the festive spirit is soon dampened when a body is found in Ellie's camper. It seems like an accidental death until everyone's tires are slashed and it's clear the glampsite has become a crime scene. With no cell service to call for help, it's up to Lindsey to smoke out the killer around the campfire . . .

Because no one is out of the woods yet.
