A cookout contest turns into a camp-side mystery

Lindsey Bakewell trades her lighthouse bakery for a glamping trip in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where her mother hopes to promote her fashion boutique and Lindsey is pressed into a campfire cookout contest. The menu—pizza, berry cobbler, and Carmelita bars—sets a culinary thread through the getaway. When a death in her mother’s camper is followed by slashed tires, the campsite becomes a crime scene, and the lack of cell service leaves Lindsey to investigate among the campers. The setup brings together cozy-mystery sleuthing, a family trip, and food-centered competition in a woodland setting.

Book overview

When Lindsey Bakewell leaves behind her lighthouse bakeshop, her boyfriend, Rory, and her Newfoundland dog, Wellington, for a glamping trip with her mother in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the bears leave them alone--but a killer doesn't. . .

Converting the old Beacon Point lighthouse into a bakery is as adventurous as Lindsey cares to get. Her mother, Ellie, a former 80s fashion model, likes her creature comforts even more--until she sees a business opportunity for her Beacon Harbor fashion boutique when she's invited by the Mitten Kittens Glamping Club on a woodsy getaway.

Far from roughing it, the ladies will be warm and cozy in chic vintage campers. Ellie insists Lindsey come along to win the campfire cookout contest. Campfire cooking has come a long way from bacon and beans. Soon Lindsey is making pizza, berry cobbler, and gooey Carmelita camping bars.

But the festive spirit is soon dampened when a body is found in Ellie's camper. It seems like an accidental death until everyone's tires are slashed and it's clear the glampsite has become a crime scene. With no cell service to call for help, it's up to Lindsey to smoke out the killer around the campfire . . .

Because no one is out of the woods yet.
