No one would dare describe Detective Susan Green as cheerful, peppy... or frankly, pleasant. So when Winifred and her curmudgeonly corgi come upon Susan in a pink hoodie and purple sweatpants, the world spirals at the wrongness of it all.

Hostility during local elections is far from unexpected in the picturesque mountain town of Estes Park, and, unfortunately, neither are accusations of police corruption. But Detective Green's behavior makes Fred fear a mid-life crisis and sends Watson into comfort mode. When the political drama escalates to murder, Fred must navigate the twists and turns of town gossip and revealed secrets as suspicion falls on those dear to her.

Solving this mystery just might mean saving Susan-from herself. And Fred holds out hope that Officer Fleabag is not the only one in town who might adore the combative and contrary Detective Green.

(This culinary cozy mystery includes a recipe for yummy, yeasty, cheesy garlic bread.)
