Book five in the six book Kirk Lake Camp series of cozy murder mysteries by Canadian author K.L. McCluskey.

A Charlene Parker mystery.

Let this season be over. Charlene is back from a short holiday to the east coast and is ready to get the resort closed up for the winter so she can high-tail it back to Nova Scotia. She can't wait! Sam is helping her close the resort and Sarah isn't any more whacky than usual. Everything is looking good for a smooth end to the season until, "kill me now!" Charlene thought, "someone died."

Another season is coming to a close and Charlene is relieved. How much longer can she do this before retiring she wonders? She turns 56 soon and Freedom 55 was so close she could taste it but it's the Scotch she tastes. She has a dram or three as she works her muddled mind through the stress of work, two men in her heart and another death on her property. This time, it hits her hard.

Charlene can't wait to get back to Nova Scotia and her old house in the quiet coastal village where there is never a murder, complaining guests or prying eyes. First she has to get cracking to solve this death for Sarah before she can leave it all behind and head east and start the freedom part of what's now Freedom 56.
