DESCRIPTION:
Fearless, feisty and at the wheel of her bright orange campervan, newly-single Sadie is about to enter a new era… as a detective?!
It’s never too late for a second chance, and when Sadie Sutton’s marriage implodes spectacularly, she jumps into her vintage VW campervan and heads for the twisty cobbled streets and sea views of her childhood in the little seaside town of Winching. But her fresh start comes to an abrupt stop when she trips over a dead body, turning an ordinary walk with her faithful dog Sam Spade into a murder investigation!
Having failed to stop a balaclava-wearing suspect disappearing from the scene into the night, Sadie can’t help but take matters into her own hands. The victim, retired headmistress Charlotte Woolf, was well known around Winching for her sharp tongue – rumours suggest she was particularly disliked by her own husband! But he swears he doesn’t even like killing snails by mistake…
With the enthusiastic help of three women at the campsite who have all embraced Van Life, Sadie starts sleuthing. Who was sending Charlotte anonymous bunches of flowers that had her rattled? Do the members of the local sea swimming club hold a vital clue? Sadie and her friends are on the right track… until their prime suspect ends up dead in his garden shed!
Can Sadie get to the root of the problem and stop the killer before the next person is buried? Or will her fresh new chapter end with her driving her campervan back the way she came?
First in a brilliant new series from bestselling author Maeve Haran, this warm, witty and absolutely unputdownable cosy crime novel is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, The Thursday Murder Club and Robert Thorogood.

How many of us would relish the chance to completely reinvent ourselves after enduring a challenging life experience? Well, that’s precisely what Sadie Sutton did. Her marriage ended, and she found herself navigating midlife as a newly single woman. Rather than wallow, she decided to embrace a lifestyle she’d only ever dreamed of — she acquired a vintage orange Volkswagen camper van, determined to turn it into her home and set off on a journey of exploration.
When Sadie decided to return to a small seaside village that held fond memories for her, it turned into far more than a cozy homecoming. Her old life was behind her, and the people there knew. But did the new Sadie ever imagine she’d become a woman who stumbles upon a corpse who simply can’t walk away from the mystery? Teaming up with a few fellow van-life women she meets along the way, Sadie and her new friends eagerly don their amateur sleuth hats.
And honestly, that’s exactly what makes this book so much fun! Living vicariously through Sadie, there is something so satisfying about watching her rebuild her life on her own terms, only to find herself thrown headfirst into a murder investigation with an unlikely crew of campervan-dwelling friends by her side. It’s warm, it’s witty, and it’s got just the right amount of intrigue to keep you turning pages. If you love a cozy mystery with heart, humor, and a heroine who refuses to be underestimated, The Campervan Detectives is an absolute treat!
This was exceptionally enjoyable as an audiobook and I hope I can continue upcoming books in this series in the same manner.
