Publisher's Synopsis
Unemployed teacher Mary Malone faces a serious dilemma when her private investigator brother Matt, who has been overseas for seven months, announces he is returning to Minnesota in three weeks. How is this amateur sleuth going to explain to him about his missing dog? And what about the murder cases she has taken on in his absence, especially the one in progress? Without the help of her widowed aunt and neighbor Mrs. Grimshaw this time, can Mary succeed in finding the dog and solving the death of Don Hickleman, owner of Hickleman Pickle Plant, before Matt discovers what she's been hiding from him?"Mary Malone is not only in 'a pickle' but it's hilarious. Intriguing and funny is a hard combination, but author Marlene Chabot does it with spectacular ease. Another home run from one of my favorite authors." Pat Dennis, author of Murder by Chance and the Betty Chance Mystery Series.
