It's Not Cheese

By Rick Dunlop

Shauck, Ohio, was a sleepy little town until Earl Tucker, coach of the high school bowling dynasty, announced he was leaving his estate to the members of his state championship team from the year 2000. The Mystery at the Olde Hickory Buffet laid out his terms that later became a Hunger Games environment. Greed overshadowed loyalty and friendships, creating a backlog for the coroner. In the Mystery of the Olde Hickory Buffet, the search for a small-town serial killer unfolds, but the story wasn't complete. Who are the heirs to Tucker's estate? What's in the estate?

Earl Tucker was a puzzle master and appreciated opportunities to bring people together around a 'head-scratcher'. Reading a will and signing papers was far too conventional for Earl. While It's Not Cheese is a spoiler for The Mystery at the Olde Hickory Buffet, it tells of the challenges the puzzle master laid out for his heirs. They'd have to get past greed, time constraints, complexity, personal acceptance, and practical joking in the background. Chief Rafferty has to step in, and he finds unexpected support while Officers Platt and Williams chase ghosts. If you like puzzles and mysteries, It's Not Cheese is right up your alley.
