“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”

In The Second Mouse, by Archer Mayor, Joe Gunther is on the case of an apparent natural death. Or maybe the woman drank herself to death. But Joe is suspicious of the apparently natural death of a young woman and can’t shake his doubts about the man who may have wanted her out of the picture. Is he onto something significant, or is he simply searching for drama in an otherwise uneventful case? After all, every death leaves behind its share of unanswered questions.

Meanwhile, a second storyline unfolds involving three individuals on a crime spree that appears initially unrelated to Gunther’s investigation. Until Mayor brings the two storylines together, I have absolutely no idea! An intriguing case.

“What I would like to know,” Joe finally said, “is what happened to the cat.”
