Retired schoolteacher Mary McGill and her dog Millie must sniff out a killer in this small town cozy mystery from the author of Purebred Dead.
Preparations for Santa Louisa, California’s annual spring rummage sale are thrown into chaos when organizer Mary McGill and her devoted cocker spaniel Millie come across a dead body on the premise. Still wearing her pink nightdress and slippers, what on earth was Miss Emilie Plym doing in a locked church hall in the dead of night? And who on earth would want to harm a sweet-natured elderly lady who wouldn’t hurt a fly?
As Mary questions the victim’s nearest and dearest, she discovers that money may have been a motive. It seems that Miss Plym was withdrawing large amounts of cash from her trust fund, and now it’s nowhere to be found. Someone seems to be after the dear old woman’s fortune—and they won’t stop at one murder to get what they want . . .
“Mary and Millie are such engaging characters . . . in this pleasant cozy.” —Kirkus Reviews
