Senior Martha, her fluffy white puppy Teddy, and their roomie Pru, who is an assistant librarian, meet Chantal the fortune teller in the small Californian town of Gold Leaf Valley. Pru is reluctant to get her fortune told, but Martha can’t wait!
When they stumble across a dead body outside the senior center, Martha declares that their senior sleuthing club is on the case!
While interviewing suspects, Martha dresses up as a fortune teller and hits the farmers’ market, taking Chantal’s spot there. While she tells fortunes with the help of her “crystal” ball, Pru is on the look out for suspects.
Meanwhile, Pru continues to hold her weekly yoga classes, attended by Annie, Lauren, and Zoe. She’s flattered that Jesse, the new detective in town, continues to attend. He starts to ask her a question at the end of class, but then his phone buzzes. What could it have been?
Martha states that this case is a toughie – but she’s determined to crack it. When Pru figures out a clue, it’s a race in time for her and Teddy to reach Martha – before it’s too late!
This is a fun, clean, dog cozy mystery with female amateur sleuths, hot chocolate drinking – and Teddy, the adorable Coton de Tulear puppy!
