A Case of Canines, Cats and Costumes

By Donna Doyle

An animal shelter manager. A missing festival mascot. A close-knit town with secrets.

Courtney Cain, Animal Shelter Manager and Amateur Sleuth. Courtney Cain has found her new home in Curly Bay, dedicating herself to animal rescue and the town's Apple Jubilee. She wants to ensure the festival's spirit remains unbroken and find the missing costume. The tight-lipped community keeps its secrets close, making her an outsider in a sudden mystery.

Emily, Courtney's Visiting Cousin and Aspiring Crafter. Emily arrives in Curly Bay seeking a temporary escape from her unfulfilling life and a strained marriage, hoping for a fresh start. She wants to discover her true calling and mend her fractured relationship. Her own insecurities and a past that makes her doubt her future.

If Courtney can't uncover the truth behind the stolen mascot, the entire Apple Jubilee could be ruined. An innocent man's reputation hangs in the balance, and her cousin's new beginning might be jeopardized by the town's hidden tensions.

Some mysteries hide in plain sight. Some secrets need to be rescued.
