Deadly Campfire by Olivia Page
A summer storm, a poisoned millionaire, and a campground full of secrets. Can Harley Wood find the killer before the power comes back on? A pulse-pounding lakeside cozy mystery.
In the heat of summer, Darren Wood Campground & Trails flourishes with a new group of campers, but it holds a familiar sense of dread for Harley Wood.
A cranky millionaire didn't just die of natural causes; he was poisoned. A cryptic note in Harley's cubby, "I’m the main course meal, and they’re all starving," proves he knew his life was in danger.
Now, with Harley’s father away and the local deputy stretched thin, Harley can't help but investigate.
The suspects are all around her: a secretive lawyer, an estranged and an angry daughter, a nurse with a shaky past, and a mysteriously absent former lover. Even a charming newcomer whose guitar lessons and easy smile brightens the camp, seems to be hiding more than he’s strumming.
As a summer storm cuts the power and another life is threatened, Harley realizes the killer isn't just a stranger passing through; it’s someone she’s welcomed onto her land.
To stop a murderer before they strike again, she must untangle a web of old grudges, illicit affairs, and a desperate fight for a fortune, all before the next campfire burns out.
This is the second book in the Darren Wood Campground & Trails mystery series, Deadly Campfire blends the cozy charm of lakeside living with pulse-quickening suspense, perfect for fans of heart-pounding puzzles and small-town secrets.
“There is nothing like the atmosphere of a summer camp to set the stage for a mystery. Between the lakeside setting and the ‘stranger among us’ tension, Olivia Page keeps you guessing until the very last ember burns out!”
