    About this audiobook

    A grumpy true crime editor sets out to solve her aunt’s murder with the help of a troublesome and adorable canine companion in small-town Louisiana.

    When Lucy Layton leaves New York City to attend her aunt’s funeral, she has no idea where her trip back home will lead.

    The last thing she expects is to inherit her aunt’s dog, her house, and the attached dog grooming salon. But when she discovers that her aunt was murdered, she is compelled to stay in Shongoloo and investigate.

    With new dog Ollie by her side, she begins to question a cast of colorful suspects. But someone wants Lucy to disappear, and they’ll stop at nothing to make that happen. Can she solve the murder before it’s too late?


    If you're looking for a delightful cozy mystery with a lovable canine sidekick, look no further than Poison & Party Hats. It’s the perfect read for anyone who loves a good mystery with a touch of humor and plenty of heart.

    Madelyn Scott

    Madelyn is a true crime aficionado who brings her passion for puzzles and detective work to her stories. But don't let her serious side fool you - she's also got a great sense of humor, and she loves Mexican food and playing tennis. She and her trio of pups live in a lazy Southern town where the trees drip Spanish moss and people still take afternoon naps. And if you ever see her out and about you might have to tap her on the shoulder to get her attention because she's usually got her earbuds in, listening to an audiobook!

      Keep in mind that I am easily entertained and just enjoy living, but I don’t understand all the bad reviews. The story is fun and an easy listen. There are a couple of hiccups in the recording/production, but the narrator is a delight.
