College librarian India Hayes thought the worst thing about the Stripling Founders\' Festival was her pink gingham pioneer dress until she discovered the body of a free-spirited Basket weaver on the festival grounds.
With her own eccentric family commenting from the sidelines and her Irish-centric landlady as volunteer sidekick, India must discover the truth before she has a permanent canine houseguest or ends up the next victim in the Basket weaver\'s murder..
Despite the wrath of her college\'s provost and protests by handsome police detective Rick Mains, India finds herself playing sleuth as well as foster-owner to the two-million-dollar dog.
The Basket weaver leaves behind an angry blacksmith husband, a confused adopted son, greedy siblings, a dysfunctional artists\' co-op, and a labradoodle with a two-million-dollar trust in his name.
