β¦ Synopsis
Itβs time for Magnet Springsβ annual ice fishing jamboree, but thereβs something sinister afoot. Things begin going south as soon as Roy Vickers hits town. Not only did he try to kill Whiskeyβs husband, Leo, nine years ago, but it now looks like Roy might have killed Magnet Springsβ missing self-aggrandizing mayor, Gil Gruen, Whiskeyβs realtor nemesis. Then Chester, Abra and Prince Harry, Abraβs puppy, are kidnapped and newly deputized Whiskey, hot on their trail, finds herself up to her neck in the freezing waters of Lake Michigan after finding Gilβs corpse in a deserted ice shanty. Add in an ex-husband who shows up at all the wrong times trying to rekindle the sparks between them, the sexy, tempting father of her step-daughterβs twins, and the perverted male nurse impostor, and Whiskeyβs life takes more twists and turns than a French braid. Helicopters, mixed-up grandparents, murder, and the usually madcap mayhem abound as Whiskey searches for Chester and her dogs while accidently solving three murders.
