I had some problems in getting hooked by this book. The heroine seemed to me a bit cold and I could not get involved in the story as much as I would have like.
This was partly due to the fact that there is a lot of background references that seem relevant to the current plot.
I would like to try to read some of the previous books.
The story is well written and there is a sound plot. I just suppose this was not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Wild Rose Press

Was a bit lost and behind since I haven't read the previous books, I think I would have enjoyed more with knowing the background. But overall good plot with a good story.

I found myself struggling to read this book. The title excited me, I thought I was in for a treat but I ended up a bit disappointed.

The characters seemed flat and the story was disjointed. There was a lot of information that I had a hard time following.

Thank you to NetGalley for offering me the opportunity to read this story.

This one is a culinary cozy mystery. Jane and her gourmet dinner club are out hiking, they come across the body of the campground host. The police suspect Olivia, one of the gourmet dinner club members. The story takes us through Jane's investigation to prove Olivia innocent.
It is an interesting book, it keeps you engaged till the end. I loved Jane and her friends. There are recipes at the end of the book

This was a mystery on a camping trip. I loved the idea of the supper club and the character of Jane who must solve a murder while dealing with characters who suffer from PTSD and Alzheimer's. Also loved the Estes Park, Colorado settings. Great mystery! Now I have to read the others in the series.

I obtained this book through Net Galley and have left an honest review.

Jane Marsh organizes a glamorous camping outing in Colorado's Rockies for her dinner club with lavish menus and provisions. Then she finds the body of the campground host Mike Quadtrini shot dead the next morning. Since the club members are packing revolvers to practice at the firing range, Jane's friends and the other campers are the prime murder suspects. Since the Forest Service investigators keep bringing them in for questioning, Jane decides to do some sleuthing of her own to help clear them. Jane learns that Quadrini had several people who may have wanted him dead. He was responsible for a car accident that killed the child of one of the campers. Quadtrini also hid the presence of asbestos at a Forest Service site which was being renovated until a whistleblower led to the site's closure. Jane's dinner club reunites for a Fourth of July weekend at an Estes Park cabin. But when she sees several of the main suspects in town, Jane wonders if the killer has come back to silence them.

I received an eARC via Netgalley and Wild Rose Press with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and provided this review.

Empty nester Jane and her friends from the culinary dinner club are on a camping trip when they discover a body. Unfortunately all the clues seem to point to her friends so Jane sets out to find the real killer. The author has a smooth writing style and incorporates issues like Alzheimers and PTSD into the book making us feel like the characters are our friends and neighbors. An enjoyable read.

I received this ARC via Netgalley and the publisher in return for an honest review. This is not the first book in the series. While it can be read as a stand-alone, it helps to have read the others, which I have not. The premise is good - a gourmet dining club meeting for a camping trip, when murder intervenes. Unfortunately, I didn't find the characters that sympathetic so I struggled to finish this book. It seeks to note the challenges of those with post-traumatic stress disorder, for which I applaud the author's goal. I just wish I'd been more invested in the people in the story.

No Grater Evil is book 3 and I found it entertaining with well-crafted characters.

In this instalment, we find Jane planning a reunion for her dinner club while camping in the Rocky Mountains. However, before they can even start their celebration the campground host has been murdered.

This book was different because we see the main character, Jane dealing with some of the characters who suffer from Alzheimer and PTSD which is a new twist on stories I have read.

Quite enjoyable and I can't wait to read the next instalment.
