Synopsis "Six Is the Limit!"
A Charlene Parker Mystery"Hey Hans...it's time," was all it took to set in motion the sale of the resort and a final move from Ontario to Nova Scotia. It's early in the season and only three guests are booked before Hans would arrive to take possession of the resort and Charlene could finally make the move to her now renovated home on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia.Set mostly in northern Ontario at a cottage resort and partly in rural Nova Scotia at her now fixed up old fixer-upper house, Six Is the Limit! (book six in the Kirk Lake Camp series of books) features a former Hamilton police detective, Charlene, who would like most of all to spend the season just doing the never ending everyday chores of running a resort, but who seems to end up having to solve murders instead.Then there are the guests. Not only are the trees too sappy, too messy, too numerous, the mosquitoes and black flies are too many and too pesky, the cabins are too rustic with too few luxuries, with too few televisions (as in none) and too expensive, the other guests are too loud, too drunk, too close, too present, the air temperature is too hot or too cold or too windy or not windy enough, the lake is too cold or too rough, with too few pickerel and bass, the wolf howls are too scary and too close, the black bears are too smelly and too scary and too close, the water snakes too skittish and scary and too close, the garter snakes too, too, too close, the red squirrels and blue jays too chattery and bossy and too close, and the guests' own families are too obnoxious, too stressful, too close.Enough is enough! Charlene only has to take care of three guests for a weekend, pack up a few things for the movers and then head back to Nova Scotia leaving the stress of the resort behind her for good. Sounds easy after years of running the place, but Sarah isn't happy about it, Charlene isn't happy leaving her friends behind, Joe goes missing, and of course, a guest had to go and get murdered. Can't anything be easy!?
