Publisher's Summary
Mae West, a far cry from the Hollywood actress, has been thrown for a loop. Her plush lifestyle in the big city of New York comes to a screeching halt after the FBI raids her mansion and arrests her husband, Paul West, for a Ponzi scheme that rips people out of millions of dollars.
Mae finds herself homeless, friendless, and penniless. All hope isn't lost... the only thing Mae got to keep that the government didn't seize is a tourist camp ground, Happy Trails, in Normal, Kentucky.
By the look of the brochure, Happy Trails has plush Kentucky Bluegrass, a crystal clear lake, and a beach chair with her name on it. Mae figures she'll take a couple weeks' vacation with her toes dipped in the lake.
Mae quickly finds out that Happy Trails and the citizens of Normal were also victims of Paul's schemes, making her lower than than lake scum in the residents' eyes. Mae doesn't think things could get much worse, but as luck would have it, Paul West has escaped from prison and is found dead, murdered, floating in the Happy Trails lake.
Time is running out for Mae to prove that she's innocent and nothing like her husband. If only she could get someone to believe her before the curtain is closed on this Hollywood namesake.

Obnoxious Sleuth
Mae West was the epitome of spoilt, entitled, airhead and she didn’t improve much as the story progressed.
I wanted to like her and was sympathetic to her horrible situation after losing everything. But WOW. Even though, of course, the people of Normal losing their life savings to HER HUSBAND wasn’t her fault, her complete lack of empathy was astounding.
Also, she could not understand why people would be angry when she invaded the their homes, and she demanded money, under threat of eviction, from a family HER HUSBAND swindled of their life savings! Worse, she showed zero guilt for how she treated the family and didn’t understand why they were unfriendly towards her...???
I love the idea of this series and the town but I can not read about such a heartless and selfish lead.
