The Mystery of the Midnight Burrow
Stinkerton Detective Agency Mysteries - Book Two
Something very strange has happened out in the meadow fields near Berryville.
A brand new burrow appeared overnight - fully dug, perfectly formed - right in the middle of the Cottontail family's farm. Nobody saw it happen. Nobody knows who dug it. And nobody is claiming it.
The Cottontails are alarmed. The village is buzzing. And Jerry Stinkerton - chief detective, reluctant hero, and the grumpiest skunk in Berryville - has just been handed another case he didn't ask for.
With his partner Kalinda on the scene, a very curious nose belonging to a certain basset-Corgi mix on the trail, and the usual assortment of Berryville's finest citizens offering their very unhelpful opinions, Jerry sets out to solve the mystery of the midnight burrow before the Cottontails lose their whole spring planting season.
Along the way, someone will appear to be dead (and won't be), a family dinner will involve strong feelings about brussel sprouts, and a single fresh-baked blackberry pie will say more than words ever could.
The Mystery of the Midnight Burrow is the second book in the Stinkerton Detective Agency Mysteries - a cozy, funny, warmhearted chapter book series for readers ages 6-10. Perfect for fans of animal adventures, gentle mysteries, and characters who feel like old friends from the very first page.
About the Series The Stinkerton Detective Agency has been keeping Berryville safe since before anyone can remember. Jerry runs it mostly alone - which is exactly how he likes it. Mostly. The cases keep coming, the village keeps talking, and somehow, every mystery gets solved. One way or another.
