description: For eight novels suburban single mom Jane Jeffry has stumbled upon dead body after dead body. Now in the ninth of this award-winning series, this "cross between Miss Marple and Erma Bombeck" (Mysteries by Mail) is confronted by a greater mystery and a world turned topsy-turvy.Jane and Shelly head off to the mountains to check out a summer camp for kids, neither too thrilled about just how rustic the wilds of Wisconsin can be. They are greeted their first night out with a rainstorm and a soggy cookout. But when all the food is eaten and all the guests have retired, Jane and Shelly discover that someone has used a heavy-duty skillet to fry up a most distasteful murder. The police are called and the crime reported, but suddenly the corpse and any trace of the killing vanish. And then the "dead" man reappears, alive and in good spirits, surprised about the ado.That's when Jane decides she's got to take charge of the investigation and figure out what's really going on, or people will start to doubt her sanity, and someone will have gotten away with a bizarre murder.
