Tent Pegs and Terror
(2025)(The second book in the Max's Campsite Mystery series)
A novel by Tyler Rhodes
Pitching a Tent is Easy. Solving a Murder is Knot!
With the campsite a hot ticket this summer thanks to the record-breaking heatwave, ex-vanlifer Max Effort's life is simmering to perfection. But there is always more to learn, so a trip to a neighbouring campsite to pick up some tips from the owners seems too good an opportunity to miss.
Accompanied by Min and Anxious the adorable Jack Russell, they head off in Vee, the best VW campervan in the UK according to the biased owners, but find the rival site run by two ex-soldiers more like a bootcamp than a place to chill.
The trip's a bust—until they find a dead body.
Someone has been playing fast and loose with the tent pegs, and they haven't been hammered into the ground to secure guy ropes, but into the body of a very large, very dead biker.
Soon, all hell breaks loose as the biker group descend on Max and Min's campsite demanding answers. As if that isn't enough, soon more people fall victim to the tent peg terror and the gang have no choice but to try and solve the grisly murders.
One-pot cooking is still Max's choice for a sumptuous dinner, and he uses his time ensconced in the outdoor kitchen to piece together the clues, but this time it seems like Min might solve the murders before him.
Things soon go from savoury to sinister when his dad shows up alone, a stranger appears looking for Moose the man of mystery, and issues with running the campsite seem overwhelming. Max presses matters to solve the case as quickly as possible, but will it be a delicious dinner on the menu, or the struggling couple as they close in on the killer?
One thing's for sure, they won't go out without a rubber mallet in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other.
Contains a stunning one-pot recipe at the end. Perfect for camping, vanlife, or anyone who wants a great meal without all the washing up!
A journey of freedom, friendship, and murder mystery in the beautiful British countryside.
