The Corpse Who Ruined the Party: A Mystery Comedy
A birthday party. A dead financial adviser. A detective nobody knows quite what to make of.
Bernadette Dinglebottom's seventy-fifth birthday celebration was supposed to be an elegant affair. Instead, her financial adviser, Mortimer P. Wobbleton, turns up dead in the bathroom-with birthday cake involved.
Enter Detective Grisel Rubiscoski.
At twenty-eight years old and barely five feet tall, Grisel is hardly anyone's idea of a conventional detective. She wears an oversized pink coat, one mysterious black glove, and crooked red lipstick. She also happens to be much sharper than people realize.
Her investigative partners are even less conventional: Officer Parrot, a foul-mouthed macaw with a cardboard police badge, and Professor Pickles, a small frog who travels in her coat pocket.
As Grisel questions the mansion's eccentric inhabitants, a missing fortune, secret recordings, family betrayals, and a man believed dead for twenty-three years begin to complicate the investigation.
Everyone has something to hide. Someone knows exactly what happened. And the birthday cake may be the most important clue of all.
A delightfully eccentric murder mystery filled with suspicious characters, unexpected twists, and just enough absurdity to keep readers laughing between clues.
Welcome to Buttercup Falls, where even a birthday party can become a crime scene.
