Expanded Description:
A tiara-stealing dog and a long line of cursed Miss Blossom beauty queens enliven this third whodunit to feature Whiskey Mattimoe, realtor and sometime sleuth. Whiskey, a 34-year-old widow, is still adjusting to life in Magnet Springs, Mich., where her greatest challenge after selling houses is controlling her beloved late husband's pet afghan hound, Abra, who has a penchant for stealing purses and other forbidden treats. When Abra absconds with the Miss Blossom tiara (not once, but twice!) after a well-liked intern from Whiskeys real estate firm wins the title, things really get crazy. It's a risky prize that has often brought death for past winners, including the previous year's queen.
