01 / THE CASE
It starts with
a missing flip-flop.
Then a garden gnome. Flamingo cocktail stirrers. Even a half-eaten hot dog.
Lucy Belle and Tinker Belle have barely settled into their new Florida home when things start disappearing. Lucy suspects a pattern. Tinker suspects raccoons.
But a basset hound named Chester is making suspicious deliveries. And those plastic flamingos? They may be sending signals.
THE QUESTION
What is really going on at The Meadows?
02 / THE DETECTIVES
Two sisters.
Very different instincts.
THE PLAYFUL SIDEKICK
Tinker Belle
A chihuahua mix with plenty of curiosity—and suspicions about raccoons. Alongside Lucy, she finds herself in a mystery far bigger than a missing snack.
03 / THE DEEPER MYSTERY
Some secrets
need to be remembered.
Hidden maps. Pirate symbols. An old fort. A forgotten canine watcher named Rusty. The trail leads toward the mysterious Bone Buccaneers—and stories someone once fought to preserve.
As the sisters follow the Echo, their funny neighborhood case becomes an adventure through history, memory, and the things worth keeping.
A LITTLE SUNSHINE. A LITTLE FLORIDA WEIRDNESS.
For readers who like their
mysteries with heart.
Cozy mystery meets absurd comedy and adventure, with gators, golf carts, coded flamingos, and two canine detectives working together.
THE FLAMINGOS MAY BE PLASTIC.
The mystery
is very real.
