Sunsets, Sabbatical, and Scandal by Tonya Kappes is a different take on who the murderer could be.

Why would anyone kill Trudy? 


What I like:



  • Mae standing up for herself and what she believes in

  • The Laundry Club Gals are helping out even more.

  • Hank's protective nature

  • We are finding out more about Mae's past with her blood family.

  • Hank wanting to help Mae figure out somethings about her past.

  • Mae's relationships with Bobby Rae and Mary Elizabeth


The Mystery


Trudy is the beloved citizen of Normal that is murdered. Now it is up to Mae and the rest of the Laundry Club Gals to get it figured out. Well, at least to help out the police. This case leads Mae and Hank to Mae's hometown, where Mae leaves with more than just clues. There are lots of red herrings, but I kind of had an idea about who did it. I don't want to spoil it, so just read the book to see if you can guess who did it too.

Five Stars


Reading Sunsets, Sabbatical, and Scandal by Tonya Kappes is like returning to a family get-together every time. I especially enjoy trying to solve a murder mystery together. I am giving it five stars and recommending it to anyone that loves a good cozy mystery. I love the camping/RV Hacks and recipes in the back of the book. Each one is fantastic to read about after solving the crime.


The Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery Series (thus far)
