About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes Merry Wrath's most wild case yet!
Ex-CIA agent turned scout leader, Merry Wrath, faces her biggest challenge yet when her grumpy new neighbor is convinced that Merry's cat is somehow affecting her mind from across the street. However, things take a dark turn when Merry tries to make peace by offering Girl Scout cookies, only to discover her neighbor has been murdered. To make matters worse, security footage implicates her dim-witted rival, Kevin Dooley, at the crime scene.
Murder wears a tin foil hat...
Although Kevin has always been a troublemaker since their school days, Merry is reluctant to see him behind bars. But before she can start her own investigation, a group of conspiracy theorists descend on the town and set up camp. With believers in theories like Hitler Faked the Moon Landing, mysterious cryptozoologists, and believers in Lizard People, Merry is uncertain of what to believe. As she delves deeper, she discovers the victim was also obsessed with conspiracies and was looking into a local child abduction case from thirty years ago, throwing the investigation off course.
The truth is out there...somewhere...maybe?
Who's There, Iowa is thrown into chaos with an aluminum foil shortage, multiple Big Foot sightings, a goat named Olaf, a troop of suspicious little girls taking advantage of the situation, and an abundance of hamsters. Merry must act quickly to untangle a web of deceit and uncover the truth before it too falls victim to the chaos.
