But when Hamlet comes upon the owner’s not-so-perky wife, it’s clear a killer has crashed the party. And when a second local business owner shuffles off this mortal coil—as Hamlet’s namesake would say—Darla and her curious cat must perform some fancy footwork to shine a spotlight on a secret worth killing for…

stupid boring .yet another inteferring annoying female thinking she knows best and judging everyone. plus making people slog thru half the book before the murder happens is mind numbing and dumb.Oh and just bec she has a cat diesnt mean she can ket it do whatever it wants ruining peoples things .nothing cute or clever about that hamlet just un trained and spoiled. I wouldnt put up with it .
