Camelot West Virginia

A Magical Mountain Mystery

De: Cyn Mackley, Emma Jameson

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A body in the lake. A castle on the ridge. And a town where the new police chief showed up in the mayor’s backyard… with amnesia… riding a stolen horse.

Welcome to Camelot, West Virginia—a town where the legends are old, the secrets run deep, and nothing ever goes quite the way it should.

Mayor Dreama Avalon just wants to save her hometown. Once a coal-fueled jewel of the Appalachian hills, Camelot is now clinging to its crumbling castle, a run-down main street, and a tourist plan that’s mostly fairy dust and desperation. Dreama’s ready to rebuild. But when a former beauty queen turns up dead—after passing out her own funeral playlist—her plans take a sharp detour.

Enter Roy Pendragon: mysterious, brooding, possibly magical… and definitely not from around here. Dreama finds him passed out in her backyard, claiming amnesia and riding her sister-in-law’s stolen horse. So naturally, she makes him police chief. Because in Camelot? That’s just how things go.

As Dreama and her new white knight try to unravel the truth behind the murder, they’ll uncover tangled secrets, opioid fallout, strange visions, and a few old ghosts that refuse to stay buried. Add in a castle with more charm than plumbing, a gossip network powered by margaritas, and a community full of lovable misfits, and Dreama’s going to need more than a tourism brochure to keep things from falling apart.

This is where the legend begins. And in Camelot, West Virginia, the stories might be old—but the trouble is brand new.

Camelot, West Virginia is the first full-length mystery in the Camelot West Virginia Series—a modern-day Arthurian mystery saga with a Southern Gothic twist, packed with murder, found family, and just a little bit of mountain magic.

Written by real-life Appalachian crime journalist Cyn Mackley, who turns true police reports into story gold and mines her own mountain roots for mischief and mystery.

Wonderful writers, wonderful story.

Loved the story, and the characters. Really interesting story with characters that made a difference and were easy to like. I have to say that Virtual Voice is most likely going ruin audiobook sales, however, publishers can make a difference by stopping this trend. This narration was ok, and the book was worth the time...
