Even though Aunt Rose isn't fond of dogs, poodle expert Melanie Travis still agrees to organize Easter festivities at Gallagher House, the new women's shelter opened by the stern former nun. When Melanie arrives, she learns that the estate's benefactor Beatrice Gallagher has fallen to her death under shocking circumstances. But in this 28th outing (after Pup Fiction), Beatrice may not have been as beloved as she seemed, and Melanie and Aunt Rose must tolerate each other's company long enough to identify a killer.
