This house mouse might be a walking, talking wonder, but itll take every one of his special gifts to catch his landladys killer.
A freak accident at birth gave house mouse Max the ability to speak, but an ego-bruising life lesson taught him to keep his muzzle shut. Now, he leads a quiet life at the Reginald Arms, a struggling boardinghouse with a troubled past.
At least he did until cupcake-making marvel Darla Jo Masters moves in to help her aunt run the place and lures him from the shadows with the delicious scent of her freshly baked treats. Shes also whipping up ideas for home improvements to keep her aunt out of bankruptcy.
The only problem is, Landlady Jenkins doesnt want Darla Jos help, and she might be trying to sabotage them by working with the local newspaper to sensationalize an old family scandal and rumors of a resident ghost.
When Landlady Jenkins turns up dead, Darla Jo is the prime suspect. The cops think its an open-and-shut case, but Max is standing by his friend. Can this timid little critter save an innocent girl, or will his vow of silence allow a killer to get away with murder?
