A cop, a pig, and a serial killer walk into a bar.
Seal Island is home to a moonshine making billionaire, a pot growing fisherman, a celebrity flower child, a handsome romance writer, a sex addicted realtor, a womanizing pub owner, a cop, a pot-bellied pig...and a serial killer.
The island is serene and remote. It is only accessible by boat. The residents like it that way, until those with the deepest and darkest of secrets start dying in the most bizarre of ways.
Upon discovering widow, Eliza Bone, floating bottoms-up in her Oscar fish tank, the one clue that the crime solving duo of Sergeant Betty Bruce and her pot-bellied pig, Gertrude, have is a set of muddy gumboot tracks left at the scene. Their problem: everyone on Seal Island wears gumboots.
As two more people die and secrets begin to unravel, Betty and Gertrude soon find themselves in the cross-hairs of a serial killer.
In the end, only Gertrude may be left standing!
If you love Miss Marple, Twin Peaks or Murder She Wrote, then Laura Hesse's Gumboot & Gumshoe Series is the perfect read.
Stay tuned for more adventures with Sgt. Betty Bruce and Gertrude as they continue to solve crimes in The Dastardly Mister Deeds.
Available in print, e-book, and audio book for your listening pleasure.
