Maisie Meadows: Billy Bowlegs Big Brouhaha
Niceville’s Billy Bowlegs Pirate Festival is the highlight of the year, complete with colorful parades, dazzling fireworks, and a town brimming with pirate-themed fun. But when high school teacher and amateur sleuth Maisie Meadows stumbles into a puzzling mystery, the festive atmosphere turns into a tangled web of secrets. Cryptic clues, eccentric suspects, and whispers of hidden pirate treasure pull Maisie and her trusty corgi, Waffles, into a race to uncover the truth.
With the help of her quirky Old Guard friends—each with their own unique talents—Maisie faces a meddling town gossip, a suspicious newcomer, and a series of unexpected twists. Along the way, she must balance small-town dynamics, unearth a few buried secrets, and trust her instincts to solve a case that’s more than it appears.
