Weird Blokes and Dead Goats
(2026)(The fifth book in the Max's Campsite Mystery series)
A novel by Tyler Rhodes
A Campsite, a Corpse, and Chaos You Can't Fence in.
When a man and a goat turn up dead, it's a recipe for disaster. Especially as Weird Bloke was wielding the blood-soaked murder weapon that definitely wasn’t meant for chopping veg.For Max, Min, and Anxious, this isn't just a murder—it's a campsite crisis. With their beloved site shut down faster than a soggy campfire, their dreams of peaceful pitches and chilled evenings under a starry sky are going up in smoke. If they don't solve the mystery soon, the only thing they'll be serving is disappointment.
With Weird Bloke denying everything before legging it across the fields, suspicion turns to the petting zoo—home to shifty staff, side-eyeing donkeys, and one very unfortunate goat. Meanwhile, Max's parents arrive to move into their new home and "help," and immediately begin accusing anything with a pulse (and some things without) of murder, including the poor officer assigned to keep order.
As stranded campers descend on the cottage like hungry gulls, Max does the only sensible thing: cooks. Armed with one pot, and rising panic, he whips up a meal hearty enough to keep the peace—if not solve the crime. Between stirring stews and dodging accusations, the trio scramble to track down Weird Bloke, uncover the truth, and save their campsite from permanent closure. But when he finally turns up, things go from simmering to full-on boil-over.
Can they crack the case before their future collapses like a badly assembled camping stove—or will their dreams be well and truly cooked?
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.
