Pandemonium at the Pet Store

A Molly Montgomery Cozy Mystery

A vanished guest. A ruined pet shop. And Maple Lake’s calm thrown into chaos in this chihuahua cozy mystery.

Molly Montgomery was finally settling into life at Maplewood Haven—fluffing pillows, perfecting pancake batter, and tiptoeing around the sparks between her and Jake, the rugged handyman. But when newcomer Max Reynolds disappears from her B&B, leaving behind a pet store with a locked back room, Molly’s peaceful routine unravels fast.

With her pint-sized chihuahua sidekick, Mitz, and her gossip-loving best friend Lila, Molly digs into Max’s secrets: exotic-animal equipment he shouldn’t have, debts he never mentioned, and rumors that his past wasn’t just messy—it was dangerous.

Two suspects rise quickly. Steve Carter, a rival pet-store owner with a short fuse, with every reason to want Max gone. And a mysterious stranger who argued with Max days before he vanished. Someone holds the truth Molly needs.

But when a chilling note warns Molly to stop digging, whimsy turns deadly.

If Molly doesn’t uncover the truth soon, the next disappearance could be her own.

Cute cozy mystery
