This is the fourth book in the Ivy Meadows series, a series about actress turned part-time private detective Ivy Meadows (aka Olive Zweigwart.) These stories are some of the funniest mysteries that I have enjoyed in a very long time.
In this book, Ivy takes on several jobs at one time. She is busy trying to find her friends lost pug who has joined up with some feral chihuahuas. She has to find him before the coyotes do. Also, the same friends need her help to find out what is really going on at the ghost town theme part their newly found son has invested in. There is a death and that changes the whole scope of the investigation.
Ivy is also trying out for a part in a regional theater’s production of “Annie Got Your Gun” and trying to juggle all of this with her relationship with Matt – her behind-the-scenes boyfriend. Problem is, Matt wants to make their relationship public and Ivy is gun-shy of doing so.
Not only is this a fun story with a good whodunnit, there is a wealth of information about real-life Annie Oakley. I will be looking forward to Cindy Brown’s next installment in this series as it is now one of my favorite cozy mystery series.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
