It's Christmas in Minnesota, a wonderful time for decorations, hot chocolate, snuggly blankets, caroling, and ... fishing! Katie Wilk is celebrating her first Christmas with her dad since the horrific shooting that nearly claimed his life, and when they are invited to participate in their small town's ice-fishing tournament, they readily agree.
But the ice is a treacherous place, and one of Katie's students accidentally falls through, creating a harrowing situation and a rescue by Katie and her trained black Lab, Maverick. Later, Katie discovers the spot where Brock went into the icy water was deliberately cut, and the real intended victim turns out to be one of the town's least lovable, curmudgeonly characters.
But what really pulls Katie into the thick of the investigation is that Dr. Pete Erickson, the man who makes her heart beat faster, is accused of murder. There's no way Katie can let that go! Ignoring warnings to stay out of the case, Katie and Maverick track leads in what proves to be their trickiest investigation so far.
Praise for the Katie and Maverick Cozy Mysteries:
Immediately captivating! Katie and Maverick are destined to become a notable amateur sleuth team in the mystery world. -Connie Shelton, USA Today bestselling author
I thoroughly enjoyed this debut book by Mary Seifert! This well written and thoughtful story kept me engaged with fun characters, interesting information and mind and math puzzles. Looking forward to book two! James, 5-star review
Fun read! The author has an authentic voice and has done her research. The plot covers many topics: dogs, history, the inner workings of hospitals, family dynamics, and more. I especially enjoyed the puzzles and little-known historical facts that were part of the story. Maverick, Movies & Murder kept my interest and left me wanting more. Highly recommend! Beth, online 5-star review
