The Camper & Criminals Cozy series by Tonya Kappes is a marathon of cozy mysteries with 45 books published between 2018 and 2026. Set at a campground in Normal, Kentucky, the series follows Mae West as she deals with an improbable number of murders among her guests. Each alliterative title pairs a camping theme with criminal activity.
The series has grown into Kappes’ flagship, and its appeal lies in the combination of outdoor campground settings, small-town Southern quirks, and Mae’s refusal to let any mystery go unsolved. Readers who enjoy long-running cozy series will appreciate having decades of cases to work through.
