Publisher's Synopsis
An outsider in the small historic town of Metamora, Indiana, Cameron Cripps-Hayman is looking to make friends with her neighbours. What she isn't looking for is one of their bodies floating in the canal. When she and her estranged husband, the town sheriff, are both named suspects for the murder, Cameron takes solving the crime into her own hands, teaming up with her eccentric co-workers who dub themselves The Metamora Action Agency. As if hunting for a murderer with two high school geniuses, the town drunk, and an elderly kleptomaniac isn't hard enough, Cameron adopts the five mangy guard dogs of her deceased neighbour. But maybe a stint at playing gatekeeper is just what she needs to come face-to-face with the killer and save another neighbour from being the next victim.
