Hammocks, Handguns, & Hearsay: When famous bounty hunter Colt Lincoln is found dead in the Smelly Dog Groomer, clutching a sponge curler that belongs to Dottie Swaggert, Mae West and the Laundry Club Ladies know they've got a real doozy of a case on their hands.

Questions, Quarrels, & Quandary: The Cowgirl Campers, an all-women's vintage camping club, roll into the Happy Trails Campground, ready to indulge in the annual 127 yard sale and antique treasure hunting. But a chilling event soon shatters the tranquility. When local woman Etta Hardgrove is found dead, the Campers become suspects, mired in a town teeming with those who harbored ill-will against Etta. Meanwhile, Hank is preoccupied with a missing teenager's case while Mae is entangled in wedding plans.

Witness, Woods, & Wedding: Mae has patiently awaited her wedding day to Hank. As friends and family gather, everything is set for a celebration of love. But just as Mae is about to say her vows, a bolt of lightning struck. The news hit like a tornado—literally—a young girl had been murdered, and a tornado has torn through the town, turning everything upside down, including the wedding plans.

A wonderful cozy mystery!

An excellent storyline that combines intrigue, love, and community.

One slight problem with the performance was the pronunciation some names. Buck was sometimes pronounced Bach, and I was trying to figure out who Bach was. Since I only listen to the books, I'm still a little confused if Hank's sister is Alice or Ellis. logic says Alice.

fun storyline

love the camping recipes, & tips. I didn't like how the wedding location & stuff kept changing like the author forgot what was written. Hank was the 1 who suggested the campground right from the start, & didn't like that she didn't speak up about it.

Done with this series

I listened to 33, and I thought they would get better. They actually got worse. I didn't like the lack of consistency in back story from book to book. It was as if the author forgot what she had previously written. It also seemed that certain parts had been edited out in the final version, so there's no way to really 'solve' the puzzle.

False Advertising

I received a notification and purchased this again thinking it was new. I got scammed by audible again.😡
