Mystery Cozy

From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes a beauty of a murder!

There she is! Miss Butterpig of Who’s There…

Everyone in ex-CIA agent turned Girl Scout leader Merry Wrath's home of Who’s There, Iowa is thrilled when The Miss Butterpig Pageant for middle school girls comes to town! Okay, so the most thrilled people are the pageant moms, but there are girls in Merry's troop who can’t wait to compete as well. In fact, girls Merry has never met before come out of the woodwork—like a poetry-writing goth, a Russian bodybuilder, and a baton-wielding kid whose ponytail may be a bit too tight.

There she is, your middle school, um, ideal…

Merry and her friends, Kelly, Hilly, Kevin, and the Hamlets, are tapped to be judges, and everyone is getting excited for the big event. What could go wrong…other than one of the pageant moms being found dead in the alley behind the theater, moments after trying to influence the judges on her daughter’s behalf?

She’s the smartest of the smart, she’s walking on air…

Between dealing with Russian gangsters, most of her troop competing as budding beauty queens, a Wagnerian operatic goose, and several overzealous pageant moms, Merry has to solve this murder quickly, so the show can go on and Miss Butterpig can be crowned!

She’s Miss Butterpig, Who’s There!
