Good morning, my fellow creatives! Today’s selection comes in thanks to my mother, who is an avid listener of Wisconsin Public Radio and heard about a series set in one of her favorite places in all of Wisconsin: Door County.
A rural mystery series set in Wisconsin? Sign me up! So let us take a break from the fantastical (though if you want a bit of fantastical Wisconsin, check this out!) and enjoy a traditional cozy set in the American Midwest.
Let’s take a sip together to taste the campfires, the lake, and the murder in Death Stalks Door County by Patricia Skalka.

Next week we’ll wrap up Private Eye July with another cozy featuring a detective I’ve never read before, much to my husband’s chagrin. x
Read on, share on, and write on, my friends!

They’re so much fun! I love the fantasy flair with the mystery, but a straight-up mystery is its own pleasure. 🙂 Hope you’re well!

If you’re looking for other mystery books set in Wisconsin, the first one or two in the Lark Chadwick series by John DeDakis are set there. I highly recommend them (I’ve read the first four).

Nice podcast, Jean – very impressive. Some tantalizing extracts, and a very useful analysis.
Now that my summer break is here I hope to have time to catch up with your back-catalogue.
Incidentally, I agree with the comments about your first photo, what a fabulous looking place.

Oh, Door County is like another world. The woods are gorgeous, and Lake Michigan very calm and clear. A beautiful place to truly rest beneath the stars. xxxx
