When a camping trip uncovers a murder, this amateur sleuth is stuck putting out the fire …

My Thoughts:

Marty Golden was all set to spend the weekend with his girlfriend when his sister injures her foot and can't accompany her daughter on a Girl Scout camping trip.  Instead she volunteers her brother Marty to be a chaperone.  Which of course upsets the other mothers.  What no one counted on was finding a dead body.  What makes it worse is the dead guy is a poker buddy of Marty's. 

Marty is a funny character who really makes you laugh while reading and seeing how Marty solves the murder.  The book was a quick and enjoyable read that pulls you in to see what Marty is going to do next!  Can't wait to see what the author has next in store for Marty!
