There's a dead armadillo on my sidewalk; there's a dead 'possum right behind my tire. There's a groundhog stuck behind my car's grill; there's a raccoon crawling up my wall. There's a shuffling in my attic; the squirrel must be going nuts again. There's skunk smell wafting through my windows... Oh my God! What was that hideous, twangy song? Was it some sort of country genre called "Southern Gothic Grotesque?" The man behind me hummed along cheerfully with the upbeat tune which contrasted with the bizarre lyrics. The line moved and I suddenly had something else to ponder that wiped all thoughts of animals, dead or alive, visiting someone's home... Lorelai Wells is a popular actress relaxing and regrouping in a small Arkansas town - a town in an uproar about the proposed demolition of a local landmark - an historic bathhouse. Toss in an aunt leading the protest, a local suiter, a movie-star ex, a mysterious cat, and citizens who think Lorelai can solve murders because she played a detective on a television series and you have a fun mystery laced with a touch of southern humor. Will Lorelai and Oscar the cat solve the crimes, uncover secrets, and save The Eloise before they lose their lives?
