Mixing Up Murder
Murder wasnโt supposed to be on the menu at the Little Dog Diner, but thatโs exactly what we got served anyway.
Hi, Iโm Dani Mackenzie and Iโm the unfortunate soul who owns said diner. Looks like business is going to be slow for a little while as the whole town scrambles to find whodunnit.
At first I just needed something to keep me busy while on my forced vacation, but now as the clues stack up, Iโm caught in the middle of this crazy mixed-up murder. And Iโll do anything to get to the bottom of what really happened and why it happened in my kitchen.
Too bad the only known witness to the crime is the victimโs terrier, Pip, and no one believes she bludgeoned her owner to death. But if not herโฆ then who? And, perhaps more importantly, whoโs next?
