Stewed to the Bone
(2024)(The sixth book in the Max's Campervan Case Files series)
A novel by Tyler Rhodes
Parents, Pink Caravans, and Cooked Corpses. Sometimes Vanlife gets Gnarly!
Ex-chef and now fully dedicated vanlifer, Max Effort—his parents still don't understand why it was a poor choice of name—picked the perfect spot for a relaxing few days. A quiet campsite where he could unwind with his best friend Anxious the Jack Russell (sausage enthusiast, and occasional existential Terrier).
When his parents arrived to spend a few days with him during the continuing unprecedented heatwave, he wasn't too surprised to find them towing a huge monstrosity they called a "caravan"—think flamingo pink with enough chrome to blind astronauts.
Even more shocking was the stewed corpse of a man inside their rental. Campfire chill instantly becomes crime scene grill!
With Max's nomadic vanlife now undoubtedly intertwined with his new destiny of helping out the local communities, he teams up with his folks to solve this most peculiar of mysteries.
Anxious is on fine form as he sniffs out the suspects, nabs a few sausages (sorry, not sorry!), and almost loses the plot at the hotdog factory, but the gang really struggle to crack the case this time. When another corpse is discovered, all Max's theories are thrown out like last week's congealed leftovers.
Determined to stick to his pledge of cooking every evening meal in his cast-iron pot, Max needs all the sustenance he can muster when the team find themselves in one predicament after another. With a campsite full of suspects, and the restaurant across the road clearly up to something dodgy, stress levels soar as fear spreads faster than a case of botulism at a barbecue.
Will the macabre murderer be discovered, or will the gang become little but minced meat?
Grab your spork and settle down for a culinary cozy mystery. This time the cooking really is deadly.
Contains a stunning one-pot recipe at the end. Perfect for those on the road, or anyone who wants a great meal without all the washing up!
A journey of freedom, friendship, and murder mystery on the open road.
