Tonya Kappes writes the Boone's Book Nook Bookstore Mystery Series which started in July 2026 and is set in Kentucky. This series is a spin-off of her popular Camper & Criminals Mystery Series. Fans of A Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery Series will recognize familiar faces, favorite places, and the small-town charm that started it all—while new readers can jump in and feel right at home. In the first book Sadie Whitfield comes to Normal, Kentucky looking for a book.
Burned out from the fast-paced world of New York publishing, Sadie is driving south to figure out her next chapter when a rare book alert stops her cold. An 1880s edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has surfaced in a tiny town tucked inside the Daniel Boone National Forest, and rumor has it, something is hidden inside.
Something worth killing for.
When the estate’s executor turns up dead, Sadie—the outsider with a big-city past, quickly becomes the prime suspect.
Now she has no choice but to clear her name.
