Publisher's Summary

Camping is supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing time...unless you're Avery Shaw, of course. No, when you're Macomb County's most intrepid reporter, camping is akin to murder...or a very slow and painful death by disease-carrying bugs.

That's what Avery thinks as she takes a well-earned vacation with her boyfriend Eliot Kane. When the duo stumbles across a body at a local festival, Eliot has to force Avery to ease up on the suspicion and embrace the vacation decadence. She's out of her coverage area, after all, and she's supposed to be taking it easy. Eliot wants rest and relaxation but Avery is pining for adventure.

When Avery returns to work, the same carnival workers hit town for Mount Clemens' annual festival, and another body drops as soon as they arrive. Avery thinks its fate but Eliot isn't so sure.

Between moving into her new house, hiding from her overzealous mother while shunning the woman's decorating instincts, and potentially stirring a race riot when local politicians fail to care about an underprivileged victim, Avery has her hands full.

Danger is closing in on Avery, and it's coming from different directions. From nefarious politicians to shady carnival workers, Avery has her pick of suspects. When she finally zeroes in on one, though, things could become dangerous...for Avery.

Can Avery save herself when she uncovers a story bigger than she ever dreamed? Or will she fall victim to a killer's hatred and become another victim?

Good

Avery’s life is a mess, and who does like her if anyone. From the new publisher and the staff at the newspaper, to her love life. Enjoyable and with good narration. Given audio for my voluntary review

Fun with Avery

Avery Shaw is still working the new story circuit and getting information to the public driving the police crazy. Amanda M. Lee has continued to provide us with fun, great dialogue and interesting characters. Start the series from book one to understand the relationships and fun .

It’s just not “ fair”

Funny (humorous) who dun-it. I like these books as the dialogue jumps from one joke to the next without spoiling the story. Although it wasn’t a classic it was interesting enough to keep my attention and it was enjoyable. Only critic was the voice the narrator used for men, but being English it could be me.

narrator has the most irritating voice/inflection

it completely put me off by chapter 2 - it may be that's the way the story was written but I wanted the main character to die in the most gruesome way possible. Fastest return in history
