🧺 A community picnic. A tangled web of loyalties. And a murder no one can ignore.Spring brings blue skies and blooming tension to Oaks Crossing, where a community picnic draws campers, locals, and long-simmering resentments into one very public setting. Ivy Thurman plans to enjoy the afternoon quietly—until an argument erupts that makes it clear not everyone came for the food.

By the end of the picnic, one guest is dead.


Old relationships are dragged into the open. Awkward choices are reexamined. And Ivy realizes the picnic placed the right people together at exactly the wrong moment. The deeper she and Luka dig, the clearer it becomes that the picnic was not just unlucky timing. It was an opportunity.

With her Boston terriers underfoot, the campground seniors observing everything, and danger edging closer than Ivy would like, she must piece together what really happened.

Picnic Panic is a cozy mystery filled with small-town tension, sharp dialogue, and a campground community where everyone saw something… yet no one saw the whole truth.
