Squirrel Skip Squabble: A Cozy Animal Mystery

By Max Parrott

Angela's brother came home after nineteen years of silence. That same day, Hummings Hollow's millionaire was found murdered in his mansion.

William will not say where he has been. Their mother is over the moon. Angela is not. Then Reginald Dean is found dead with two blows to the head, his office safe missing, and no murder weapon in sight.

Angela and Ruff are called in to help find the killer, until Chief Helbar receives an anonymous tip claiming William had a very good reason to want Dean dead.

Now Angela is investigating the one suspect she cannot judge objectively. Did William come home to reunite with his family, or to steal whatever was hidden in Reginald Dean's safe?

Help arrives from an unlikely source, P. Nutty, the injured squirrel Angela rescued from her barn. Between chewing his bandages and hoarding almonds, the little squirrel may uncover the clue everyone else has missed.

Angela must prove her brother is innocent before the town decides he is guilty, and before the real killer gets away with murder.
