Miss Ruffles Inherits Everything: 1/17/16

Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s.  Want a “cozy” mystery that will have you chuckling?  One that makes you read as fast as you can to find out who did the dirty deed?  One that stars an adorable dog?  Well, have I got a mystery for you!  Miss Ruffles Inherits Everything by Nancy Martin stars Sunny McKillip, a girl from Ohio who’s been hired by Honeybelle Henesy, the richest woman in Mule Stop, Texas, to care for the beloved dog, Miss Ruffles, who is a Texas cattle cur, not a lap dog.  Sunny runs with the dog every morning and keeps the dog on a short leash so she won’t bite anyone she doesn’t like.  Then Honeybelle dies a sudden death –apparently from a heart attack—or was it?  At the reading of the will, the whole town is incensed to find all of Honeybelle’s estate is bequeathed to the dog!  Sunny has her suspicions and when Miss Ruffles is dog-napped and Sunny herself is threatened and then attacked, her suspicions go into overdrive.  No one is exempt!  I enjoyed it immensely—you will too.  Miss Ruffles Inherits Everything—you’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.
