“A hilariously flamboyant and ultimately endearing. An utter delight.”–Crimespree Magazine

“Imagine a mystery set at an Adirondack summer camp with all the red herrings of an Agatha Christie infused with Andy Cohen’s camp sensibility. A Murder Most Camp is bitchy fun from the very first page. Stick with our annoyingly privileged protagonist and you’ll be rewarded with a heartfelt portrait of personal growth that rings true. Who-done-it mystery meets will-they-won’t-they romance in this wild ride of a novel that I slurped up faster than an espresso martini!” – Kim van Alkemade, New York Times bestselling author of Orphan #8 and Bachelor Girl
“DiDomizio’s latest will camp out in your brain long after you finish. The vibes are immaculate, with plenty of murder, mayhem, and mosquito bites, and the twists are genuinely head-spinning. This is pure summer camp chaos, and I’m absolutely here for it.” – Mallory Arnold, USA Today bestselling author of How to Survive a Horror Story
“From the first page to the last, DiDomizio’s A Murder Most Camp is a hilarious, fast-paced delight. Mikey Hartford IV might not be your typical amateur sleuth, but he is an entertaining one–especially when he’s thrust into a world of precocious preteens, sloppy joes, and women who wear scrunchies. If I ever go missing in the middle of a forest, I hope my detective is even half as fun as Mikey!” – Tamara Berry, author of Murder Runs in the Family
“With the camaraderie of summer camp and eerie thrills of stories told around the fire, A Murder Most Camp delivers an irresistible mystery full of endearing characters, heartfelt emotion, and clever twists that will keep you up well past lights out.” – Brianna Heath, author of Robbie McNeil’s Hit List
