Will Jules figure out what Ira is doing?
Jules Keene
Jules Keene is the sleuth and our main character. She's the owner of the camping resort that her parent's started when she was little. Jules loves the resort and is trying to think of many things to keep the resort open almost all year round. That way, she can figure out the payroll. Jules is an intelligent woman who wants what is best for the campground and brings people to Fern Valley. I love that about Jules since a lot of her plans sound good to me for the resort. She is an excellent character in the way that Jules wants to help the police solve the crime, not just that her resort can go back to normal.
The Victim
Two of Jules's resort guests found Ira Perkins in the forest. Ira Perkins is the first victim and the reason why the second victim died. He told Jules and everyone else that he was there to write a book, so do not disturb him. Ira wasn't writing a book but doing something shady in his trailer. Jules decides to figure out what he is doing and how to get the people after him to leave her resort park alone. She does this exceptionally well while also getting way further into the investigation than what Jules wanted. Ira, as a character, wasn't a nice person since he could talk a good talk, but when someone started talking to him, a lot of things didn't sound right. Suspicions were right as Jules found out a lot more about Ira and what he was doing. Ira wasn't a nice person, but did he deserve to die the way he did? Probably not. But did he deserve to die? Who knows.
Five Stars
Vintage Trailers and Blackmailers by Heather Weidner is a fantastic start to a new series for Ms. Weidner. I can't wait to read the next book in this series to find out what else Jules can get into when it comes to solving a mystery. Jules, Roxanne, Jake, and Emily are all great characters, and I can't wait to see what else can happen with them. I am giving Vintage Trailers and Blackmailers by Heather Weidner five stars and recommending it to everyone that likes to read cozy mysteries.
Don't forget to try out the recipes in the back: Roxanne Mallory's Skillet S'mores, Lula Belle's Renowned Pimento Spread, Lula Belle's Famous Virginia Cheese Sticks, Crystal Carson's Chocolate chip Pancakes, Donna Ford's Chocolate Peanut Candy, Mel Carson's Quick Bacon, and Cheese Quiche, and Crystal Carson's Gooey Cinnamon Buns.
