Double Magpie Murders - Paperback

by Pam Fox (Author)

Boondocking in Pennsylvania in her truck camper, artist Kate Corliss is forced to stop at an RV campground because her generator stops working. Waiting for the repair, she makes friends with other RVers and enjoys the outdoors-kayaking in Loyalhanna Creek, hiking, and filling sketchbooks with drawings of landscapes and wildlife. Tthese pleasures are interrupted when a woman in the Winnebago next to Kate's camper dies, the victim of carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty heater. A tragic accident? Police check the heater, and it's operating perfectly. Other odd events accumulate, some of them rumored to be the work of a hermit living in conservation land along the river. Is the hermit real? The stakes become personal for Kate when she's ambushed and set adrift above a dam. Can she make sense of the many clues fast enough to save her own life?
