Magnificent Magenta Mayhem: A Maggie Bliss Out Of The Box Mystery - Paperback

by Deborah Harper Green (Author)

Maggie Bliss is the youngest of six children living in an idyllic, close-knit Denver neighborhood called the Valley. Maggie's siblings are all successful by society's standards while Maggie is a college-educated dog walker/house sitter with a side hustle delivering food on weekends.

When Marcy, a former classmate of Maggie's, goes missing from her Valley home, leaving behind no physical evidence, Maggie inserts herself into the investigation. Dragging along a band of unlikely associates, including a pair of sassy octogenarian sisters, Maggie uses her own natural skills to get to the bottom of this mystery. Eventually she recruits a longtime colleague of her semi-retired dad to dig into Marcy's messy family business. She makes important connections when a dead body shows up in a van on a Valley street.

Following a thin lead on Marcy's disappearance, Maggie attends a speed-dating event and unwittingly plunges herself into danger that nearly costs her own life and that of her best friend.

A story for cozy mystery fans looking for a new series to love. Those who prefer a smart whodunit will appreciate this one set in a beautiful place steeped in old-fashioned values and traditions. Readers will look forward to curling up and getting lost in this fun, humorous, fast-paced, no-blood-and-guts cozy mystery.
