Moonshine and Murder at Blue Ridge
(2026)(The fourth book in the Glamping & Gunner Mystery series)
A Story by Rachel Darrishaw
The Blue Ridge Mountains in late September, a luxury safari glamping resort, and the biggest fiddle contest in Appalachian music — Danell White couldn't have asked for a better assignment. Blue Ridge Hollows is everything a glamping property should be: canvas tents on handcrafted platforms, mountain views that stop you mid-sentence, and a community gathering that draws musicians from across the region. But when a beloved local fiddler is found dead on a mountain trail the morning after a heated public argument, the contest week takes a dark turn.
The town of Laurel Gap has deep roots and long memories, and Danell quickly discovers that the victim was sitting on a secret that could upend decades of local history. As the fiddle contest plays on and the mountain community closes ranks, she finds herself navigating family loyalty, old rivalries, and the kind of grudge that only gets more dangerous with time. The local law enforcement is sharp but stretched thin, and Danell's notebook is filling up with connections nobody else seems willing to make. Shotgun, meanwhile, has opinions about the barbecue and is keeping his own counsel.
Rich with Appalachian atmosphere, bluegrass music, and a mystery rooted in the complicated loyalties of a small mountain town, Moonshine and Murder at Blue Ridge is the fourth book in the Glamping & Gunner Mystery Series. If you love cozy mysteries where the setting is as vivid as the suspects and the clues are planted honestly from the start, pull up a rocking chair.
