BEING NAMED IN GREATGRANDMA’S WILL WAS LIKE HITTING BANKRUPT ON WHEEL OF FORTUNE. . . The whole family held their breath while the wheel ticked around and around—or rather while the lawyer opened the envelope. Then they all heaved a sigh of relief when the wheel stopped on Carrie Evans’s name. Carrie the heiress. Great. Clean up the house. Clean up the yard. Clean up Great-Grandma’s rap sheet. Carrie hates mice and loves the big city. So why is she living in a huge mouse-infested house in her dinky hometown? The dead guy in her pantry closet is the most interesting thing that’s happened since she came home. Of course, the carpenter who’s helping her trap her mice and solve the crime is pretty interesting, too.

Pest Control takes on a whole new meaning in Melnik. . . Joe Manning comes to Melnik, Nebraska, to finally meet his runaway father, Sven Gunderson, only to find dear old dad is dead. Murdered. And Joe’s bad attitude makes him the prime suspect…even though he’s never met the man. Or so he says. Bonnie Simpson is attacked while she's at work in the Melnik Historical Society Museum, proud home of Maxie—The World's Largest Field Mouse. Only her attacker now claims he was really trying to save her. The car that plowed into the museum, and is now parked right on top of the spot Bonnie was standing, lends credence to his claims. What’s not an accident is the dead guy in the museum’s store room. Bonnie wants to be suspicious but once Joe stops attacking her he turns out to be pretty sweet. And lots of people had a motive to kill Sven Gunderson—including Bonnie. Because Gunderson committed the ultimate Melnik crime. He claimed to be the true owner of Maxie, and he wanted his mouse back. In Melnik, any threat to Maxie means war!

Maxie the World's Largest (Stuffed) Field Mouse must come through time and again to thwart the criminals in his peaceful—albeit mouse-obsessed—home town. Tyler Simpson is opening a new law office and he thinks he's home to stay in Melnik—until a body falls out of a cupboard and Tyler is forced to defend the town's nemesis as her court-appointed attorney. The Mice Man Cometh again as Maxie Mouse saves the day one more time.
