BONFIRES, BACKPACKS, & BRAWLS CHARACTER POST: CINDY

May 6, 2024

Hey y’all, Cindy here. In the midst of the most challenging time of my life, I find myself at the center of a mystery that’s as tangled as a fishing line caught in the underbrush. Losing Parker, my dear husband, has been a blow I never saw coming. But as I navigate through this fog of sorrow, I’ve found an unexpected anchor: our lure business.

Parker and I poured our hearts into this venture, crafting lures not just to catch fish but to capture memories. Each piece we created together is a testament to our shared dreams and the beautiful life we built. And now, with Parker gone, our lures have become more than just tools for anglers—they’re pieces of art, imbued with love and the spirit of adventure.

But as I cling to this legacy, I’ve stumbled upon a mystery that threatens not just the future of our business but the very memory of Parker. The bass fishing tournament, an event that should have been a celebration of our craft, has turned into a backdrop for intrigue and danger. And it seems our lures, as unique and sought-after as they are, might be at the heart of it all.

I’ve heard whispers of rivalry, of secrets hidden beneath the serene waters of our favorite fishing spots. And there are those who would do anything to get their hands on what Parker and I created. As I find myself drawn into this web of mystery, I can’t help but wonder—could the passion for our lures lead someone to commit the unthinkable?

But I’m not alone in this. Surrounded by a community of friends, fellow anglers, and an unexpected band of amateur detectives, I’m determined to untangle this mystery. Together, we’ll navigate the murky waters of suspicion and deceit, armed with nothing but our wits, a few well-crafted lures, and the enduring spirit of Parker guiding us.

So, dear readers, I invite you to join us at the Happy Trails Campground for a story of love, loss, and the pursuit of justice. It’s a journey through the heart of cozy mystery, where every clue, every cast, brings us closer to the truth. And perhaps, in the end, we’ll find that the biggest catch of all isn’t found in the water, but in the bonds we forge and the mysteries we solve together.

“Big fan of Tonya Kappes’s mystery books! Being a former Kentuckian, I like small town stories with the characters that live there (town drunk, town gossip-every town has at least one, etc. and you captured them all in her coffee shop mysteries (had to get that Coffee in front!)
