Poodle Versus The Spy

Maple syrup season should be a sweet harbinger of spring. But a violent death at a local maple sugar bush threatens to derail the Cottage Country Maple Festival. The police are not making any progress, and the crime spree continues. It’s taking its toll on a famous local attraction and tragedy strikes a beloved and hardworking family. Meanwhile, with spring in the air, tourists are headed in droves for Williamsport. With a short season worth millions of dollars, the pressure is on to solve the crimes quickly and get the maple industry back on its feet. Zora Bell, the 50-something newspaper publisher of the Williamsport Whistle, and her two ace reporters, take a look at the crime scene and make a crucial link. The damage to the maple sugar operation looks like espionage. And to the staff of the Whistle that spells a spy! Rocco, Zora’s pampered prince of a poodle, has a new canine sidekick. Mocha has moved in. Can her finely-tuned gourmet palate, and Rocco’s fearless sense of adventure, point Zora in the right direction? Humor, mysterious plot twists, and heartwarming small-town life - it’s a sweet, syrup-season combination in Poodle Versus The Spy.
