Fish and Chip: Nine Lives One Murder (Huckleberry Hollow Wonderland Theme Park Cozy Mysteries Book 1)

Josie Janglewood can read the minds of animals—not always, but enough to know her cat Chip has opinions about her life choices. After discovering her husband with his yoga instructor, she takes a job managing Huckleberry Hollow Wonderland, a struggling theme park. On her first day, she discovers a dead body in the funhouse. Josie must navigate broken rides, a murder investigation, and two cats who have become the park's unofficial mascots: Fish, a black and white tabby belonging to her friend Bizzy Baker Wilder, and Chip, her food-obsessed orange cat. Both prove surprisingly helpful as amateur sleuths, though they critique her detective work and her attraction to Detective Drake. The victim is a notoriously cruel food critic with many enemies among the travel writers' conference being held at the park. As mysterious footprints, missing collector pins, and old park secrets emerge, Josie realizes someone is working to frame an innocent person. With her feline sidekicks and eccentric friends, she must catch the killer before another murder occurs. This is Book 1 in the Huckleberry Hollow Wonderland Theme Park Cozy Mysteries series and a crossover with the Country Cottage Inn Cozy Mysteries.
