Summary

Riches to rags...controlling to chaos...but murder...seriously?

After her ex-husband leaves her high and dry, former socialite Doreen Montgomery's chance at a new life comes in the form of her grandmother, Nan's, dilapidated old house in picturesque Kelowna...and the added job of caring for the animals Nan couldn’t take into assisted living with her: Thaddeus, the loquacious African gray parrot with a ripe vocabulary, and his buddy, Goliath, a monster-size cat with an equally monstrous attitude.

It’s the new start Doreen and her beloved basset hound, Mugs, desperately need. But, just as things start to look up for Doreen, Goliath the cat and Mugs the dog find a human finger in Nan’s overrun garden.

And not just a finger. Once the police start digging, the rest of the body turns up and turns out to be connected to an old unsolved crime.

With her grandmother as the prime suspect, Doreen soon finds herself stumbling over clues and getting on Corporal Mack Moreau’s last nerve, as she does her best to prove her beloved Nan innocent of murder.

A delight

I got this book because it was free.Last week as I was at a loose end I thought I'd sit down for an hour and have a listen. Next thing I know its 4 hours later and I'm still listening, I was hooked I couldn't put it down. Joyous, funny in places, sad in others but a riot of a good read. I'd recommend it to everyone, from teen to old age there's something for everyone.
Now I'm about to start book 2 bones in the begonias, so I hope it's as good as book 1.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
