"In Hellyer's skillful hands, what initially seems like a simple case of blackmail to spur a quick estate sale soon reveals itself as a much more complicated scheme of revenge and concealment...It all barrels toward a resolution that many readers won't see coming." - Kirkus Reviews
An electric fence, a beautiful cryptic box, and the wildest goose chase this side of Muskoka!
The Valentines' world is about to be zapped with a bolt of mayhem and mystery!
When centenarian Senator Miles "The Tank" Valentine meets an electrifying end at his own resort, Highclere Inn & Carriage House, the shocks are just beginning. The arrival of a mystery box, posthumously sent by the Senator's long-deceased first wife, Lady Jean Valentine, sets off a series of comical calamities and dramatic conspiracies that touch everyone from Highclere's aging quirky guests to its staff and neighbors.
Enter the Senator's grandson, the self-described "fabulous" Mason Valentine, and his investigative journalist cousin, Cordelia "Cici" Bradshaw, tasked with unraveling a web of family intrigue thicker than a lake effect fog.
Witty banter flies faster than a loon's call as "A Box of Frogs" bounds from page to page, oscillating between outrageous humor, a twisty-turny mystery, quiet ruminations, gripping suspense, and a cast that's-as Lady Valentine herself would say-crazier than a box of frogs.
This is one amusing, insightful, and unexpected caper where solving the puzzle could mean finding more than what you bargained for.
As Mason and Cici will soon find out, sometimes the biggest mysteries in life don't fit neatly inside a box.
