Maine Campground Cozy Mystery

Welcome to Babbling Brook Campground! Camp At Your Own Risk.

The Maine state slogan might be The Way Life Should Be, but at Babbling Brook Campground—an idyllic family vacation spot nestled in the tiny, rural town of Bluefield—things are starting to feel more like a Stephen King novel.

Noelle Cooper doesn’t know this when she packs up to return to Babbling Brook for the first time in eighteen years. She’s expecting to reconnect with her favorite cousin and take a walk down memory lane. Instead, Noelle becomes wrapped up in small town drama and investigating the untimely deaths that keep happening all around her.

At Babbling Brook Campground, trailers roll in, but bodies roll out.

In Campfires & Corpses, Noelle returns to rural Maine to do the one thing she said she’d never do: run her family’s campground. But it’s only for the summer, and the timing couldn’t be better–she’s just lost her job and has nowhere to live. She hopes that a change of scenery will be the thing she needs to regroup and reinvent herself.

But Noelle’s plans go up in smoke on her first morning back when she stumbles upon the body of her high school rival. She barely has time to process this before she comes face-to-face with her ex-boyfriend, meets the handsome county sheriff, and is questioned by an intimidating state trooper who gives her the creeps.

While she’s busy dealing with a group of pushy campers who insist that the murder means she must cancel the annual bonfire, Noelle becomes the prime suspect in the murder investigation. She’s convinced that someone is feeding false information to the police and is determined to clear her name.

With the help of her podcast-obsessed cousin, her anxious rescue beagle, and a few eccentric campers, Noelle compiles a list of other suspects and pokes around to uncover the real killer.

Can Noelle prove her innocence before getting tossed in jail? Or is she playing with fire? Read Campfires & Corpses now to find out.

The Maine Campground Cozy Mystery Series is a clean, contemporary cozy mystery series set in a small town with quirky characters and lovable dogs. Cozy mystery fans will enjoy dissecting the suspects’ alibis and following the clues along with Noelle and her gang.
