4.5 out of 5 stars (248)

A B.R.A.G.Medallion Honoree

Over two hundred years ago, famed explorer Meriwether Lewis died on the Natchez Trace under mysterious circumstances. Historians still argue whether it was suicide or murder. That shouldn't affect a weekend campout in present day for Frannie Shoemaker and her friends, but it does. They meet interesting characters at a mountain man rendezvous and get mixed up as usual with the strange goings on. Because camping can be murder!

Karen Musser Nortman, after previous incarnations as a secondary social studies teacher (22 years) and a test developer (18 years), returned to her childhood dream of writing mysteries. Her first series, The Frannie Shoemaker Campground Mysteries, sprouted from numerous camping trips in Iowa and through at least 24 other states. The Frannie Shoemaker Mysteries center around a group of retirees who camp together and sometimes stumble over dead bodies. Six of the books have been designated IndieBRAG medallion honorees and three have been finalists in Chanticleer CLUE and Mystery and Mayhem contests. Most of the books are based on actual campgrounds.

Karen has two other series. The Time Travel Trailer series follows the adventures of Lynne McBriar who buys a vintage camper that turns out to be a time portal. The first in the series, by the same name, was the 2015 category winner in the Chanticleer Paranormal contest. The Mystery Sisters is a new series involving two seventy-something sisters who travel the country in a 1950 Studebaker, argue, annoy their relatives, and solve mysteries.

Karen has three children and eight grandchildren. She also loves reading, gardening, and knitting, and can recite the 99 counties of Iowa in alphabetical order.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Murder or Suicide
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Way back in the day Meriwether Lewis died and every since it has been argued whether it was suicide or murder. Frannie and the crew are camping in the same park as a rendezvous. They can watch activities and even try a few things out for themselves. When a man shows up saying all these things he can’t back up right then, things go from good to horrible real fast when he turns up dead.
    I love these campground mysteries I have been doing the audios and the narrator Michelle Babb is awesome for this role. She does a great job with all the characters and makes it all so much fun on my commute. The characters are like family now it is wonder and the books awe so wholesome even if there is a murderer in the midst.

    I have visited the area of the setting. It was summertime and it was miserable.
    I enjoyed the festival immensely because I would never go in real life. I have a Jekyll and Hyde personality when it comes to hot and humid. I don't like myself very much.
    The first part of the book was more about the scenery and the festival. I enjoyed the reading immensely.
    Frannie finds the dead body of a man she was meeting to learn about some Lewis and Clark artifacts. Of course, this starts a police investigation. Frannie starts working on the mystery of it all, so now the book is covering Frannie's deductions, a little police work and more festival.
    Little girl mischief, another murder, and Frannie becoming a target all comes to a crescendo.
    It was a fun read for sure. Enjoy!

    Oh how I've missed these old friends! Karen Nortman's characters are so real, you feel like it's a reunion of friends when a new book in this series is released. This adventure takes us to learn about Lewis and Dark in a way it wasn't taught in school. Mystery and murder follows Frannie once more and we are left with a long line of suspects. We meet some interesting people in this book as well and are never disappointed by the food choices. I can't wait for the next installment as we learn whether the upcoming yet cancelled wedding can be saved. No spoiler here...read about it for yourself in this excellent book!

    These campground mysteries are a lot of fun. The mix of history and mystery in Corpse of Discovery makes it an especially interesting read. The interactions of these hearty campers are a lot of fun, and the books always make me hungry! I would love it if a couple of the new characters in this book show up in future Frannie adventures. The Happy Camper tips at the end are really useful -- some even if you aren't an RVer. More Frannie and friends, please!

    You can depend on Karen Musser Nortman writing an interesting, clean novel. And she always writes a nice description of the camp they are visiting and interesting information about it. While not earth shaking, her books keep me interested and turning pages. The banter between he characters is fun and entertaining.

These book always have great characters and wonderful dialogue. The mystery is engaging, the subject interesting and has some nice scenes. I really enjoy these books. Michelle Babb does a fine job as always with the narration. A pleasure.
