Riches to rags. ... Chaos never calms. ... Time fades memories. ... Or at least most of them!
Who knew two small maker’s marks could lead to such chaos? Doreen has been enjoying a few well-earned days of peace and quiet after solving her last mystery. But all good things must come to an end. Like when Thaddeus, her independently minded African gray parrot, digs up two rectangular metal pieces from the path along the creek. Then Doreen is sent down another rabbit hole of the past: connecting the dots from a long-defunct tool repair company and a young girl who disappeared at the same time.

You know with a title like that it’s going to be a great read. As usual Doreen falls into another case along with her menagerie and Mack it’s one laugh after another and now looking forward to the next book Keep up the great work Dale Mayer .
Ice Pick in the Ivy
This is a continuation of Doreen's quest to finding herself as well as stumbling over another cold case (or more). This is an old fashioned mystery with a hint of romance and so much more. It is a standalone book but so much more fun when read in the series. The team is unique -- a former trophy wife, a massive cat, a bassett hound and a parrot. Odds and ends which lead to more questions. Bravo! I am looking forward to more books.
