Max's Vanlife Takes a Wrong Turn—Bodyparts Ensure the Comedy Festival is no Laughing Matter. Disaster struck the morning of the Chucklefest Comedy Festival. Not with a bomb (thank goodness), but with a canine whimper. Vanlife convert Max Effort's best buddy, Anxious the Jack Russell Terrier, managed to disassemble his favourite toy, leaving him bereft. But help was on hand, and Min, Max's ex-wife, best friend (besides Anxious, obviously), and the true love of his life, hightails it across the country, determined to deliver a replacement bestie. Feeling chilled and in good spirits, Max's mood soon soured when he reached into the festival freezer and discovered a smiling face staring back at him. Shame it wasn't attached to the rest of the poor comedian's body. Once again the gang are embroiled in a gruesome murder mystery, and it's no laughing matter. Who killed the comedian? Why chop him up? And where's the rest of him? As clues are uncovered, everyone becomes a suspect, including the posh landowner, the event manager, and even the comedians themselves. Trying to fit in a one-pot wonder amidst the chaos was a real challenge for our struggling ex-chef, but he was determined to not only cook a feast but uncover the truth too. Then everything changed, and life would never be the same again, as none of the gang were prepared for what became the most surreal experience of their lives. When another body is discovered, events spiral and, horror of horrors, it seems like dinner might have to be put on the back burner. Grab a seat, get your laughing gear around something frosty, and settle down for a lighthearted, gripping, proper whodunit with a steady stream of suspects, red herrings, and some entertaining one-liners. Contains a stunning one-pot recipe at the end. Perfect for those on the road, or anyone who wants a great meal without all the washing up! A journey of freedom, friendship, and murder mystery on the open road.
