Pizza, Pugs and Murder - Pitt, Darrell

. .

Résumé :
An accident that's not an accident. A perilous pizza. A pug who knows too much... No one believes Celia Spalt when she gets up at the Storytelling Tent and tells everyone she once witnessed a murder. After all, Celia's an old lady, and her mind's on the way out. But when she unexpectedly dies, Rosie begins to wonder if there could be something more to her story. Celia lived at Sandcastle Village, a gated community that's supposed to keep its residents safe from the world. But only a month before, Joe Porter slipped, fell and also died. Could he have been murdered? Possibly. After all, he was the most hated person in the village... This story's got it all: pizza clues, a rambunctious pug, and an annual Trash and Treasure sale where no one knows the difference between trash and treasure! To make matters worse, Rosie's best friend, Kim Chen, has a phobia she's never revealed to Rosie before. It seems some people are afraid of the strangest things......
