Description
Downward dog in the park, falling out of trees, poisoned chili.
Eccentric, retired seniors, Marge Bumfuzzle and Joey Cattywampus have a penchant for stumbling into trouble.
Though largely misunderstood and dismissed as a couple of old kooks, the unlikely pair unravel the mysteries around them in a hilarious and often touching way.
In Trouble at the Buckeye Festival, what starts as general mischief and sabotage soon escalate to murder! Marge and Joey must find the perpetrator before the festival is ruined!
A delightfully warm detective mystery led by two retired seniors and their beloved hometown festival
"When you hear the words "mystery novel," you rarely expect a delight. You think of murder, crime, investigation, stress, but what about warmth, humor and friendship? That is exactly what Alice Kanaka has achieved with Trouble at the Buckeye Festival. Like a cozy tale written for adult children who refused to grow up, this book is as fun as it is charming." -Independent Book Review
A Note From the Publisher
Bumfuzzle: Transitive verb. Chiefly dialectal: Confuse, Perplex, Fluster. (Marge's roundabout speech sometimes makes her almost incomprehensible.)
Cattywampus: Adjective, Dialectal: Askew, Awry, Cater-cornered. (An old war injury has left Joey slightly shorter on one side of his body, causing him to tilt slightly. Although physically fit, he uses a walker to assist him with his balance.)
Advance Praise
"Small-town mayhem and unlikely elderly investigators make for an original whodunit in Trouble at the Buckeye Festival. Celebrating the spirit of adventure and mystery, regardless of age, Bumfuzzle and Cattywampus are a hugely entertaining duo at the heart of this whimsical novel. As they sleuth their way from strange festival mischief to an unexpected corpse in a closet, the stakes of their investigation keep getting higher and wilder, making this character-driven conspiracy hard to put down. An undeniably fun and free-wheeling start to a new mystery series." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★½
