Silent Night, Deadly Campsite
(2026)(The fifth book in the Trails, Timber & Truth series)
A novel by Amber Ward
A snow-covered campground.
A beloved Christmas tradition.
And a cabin guest who won’t make it home for the holidays.
I’ve finally chosen Pine Hollow—and Bennett Pines Campground—as home. With holiday lights glowing between the cabins, cocoa warming in the office, and the town preparing for its annual Giving Tree celebration, I’m expecting a cozy start to Christmas.
Then visiting nonprofit consultant Meredith Vale is found dead in Cabin Six.
The apparent cause?
A faulty heater in one of our winter cabins.
But Cabin Six passed inspection, Ranger keeps returning to the outside utility wall, and Meredith spent her final days asking uncomfortable questions about Pine Hollow’s most cherished charity.
If her death was not an accident, someone deliberately made Bennett Pines look responsible.
With my family’s reputation at risk, the Pathfinders following every rumor, and Deputy Nathan Cole trying to balance an official investigation with our new relationship, I begin searching for the connection between Meredith’s questions and what happened inside that cabin.
Someone in Pine Hollow is protecting a carefully polished image.
And if I don’t uncover the truth, Bennett Pines may take the blame while a killer disappears behind the town’s Christmas cheer.
Silent Night, Deadly Campsite is the fifth book in the Trails, Timber & Truth series—a clean, small-town campground cozy mystery with snowy Christmas charm, a loyal dog, warm friendships, twisty clues, light humor, and a slow-burn romance woven through the series.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
