Riches to rags. Controlling to chaos. But murder seriously?After her ex-husband leaves her high and dry, former socialite Doreen Montgomery's chance at a new life comes in the form of her grandmother, Nan's, dilapidated old house in picturesque Kelowna and the added job of caring for the animals Nan couldnt take into assisted living with her: Thaddeus, the loquacious African gray parrot with a ripe vocabulary, and his buddy, Goliath, a monster-size cat with an equally monstrous attitude.Its the new start Doreen and her beloved basset hound, Mugs, desperately need. But, just as things start to look up for Doreen, Goliath the cat and Mugs the dog find a human finger in Nans overrun garden.And not just a finger. Once the police start digging, the rest of the body turns up and turns out to be connected to an old unsolved crime.With her grandmother as the prime suspect, Doreen soon finds herself stumbling over clues and getting on Corporal Mack Moreaus last nerve, as she does her best to prove her beloved Nan innocent of murder.
