The course of true love never did run smooth.
According to Myrtle, Eloise Crane set her cap for Miles long ago. Although Miles is now dating Eloise, he doesn’t seem overly enthusiastic about it. Myrtle figures he’s simply given in after running out of plausible excuses. Eloise drives Myrtle batty, so she’s intent on avoiding her as much as possible. This isn’t easy since Eloise is determined to join in whenever Miles and Myrtle are together.
When Myrtle spots Eloise at a restaurant canoodling with a different gentleman, she likes Eloise even less. And she decides that Eloise has caused no end of problems when her other suitor is found dead.
With Miles a suspect, Myrtle must jump into gear to clear his name and find the killer before he strikes again.

Chapter One
It was 3:30 in the morning and Myrtle and Miles were drinking coffee and quietly working on their puzzles. Pasha, Myrtle’s feral cat companion, was leisurely taking a bath.
Myrtle glanced over at Miles and said in something of a pointed tone, “Isn’t this nice? The two of us? Quiet?”
Miles gave her a weary look. “Don’t say it.”
“Of course I’m going to say it. I need to point out how very nice it is to be having some quiet time together without a particular someone barging in with a bunch of foolishness.”
Which was precisely the moment the doorbell rang.
Myrtle scowled.
Miles stood up to get the door and Myrtle hissed at him, “Let’s not answer it.”
“She’ll realize we’re avoiding her,” said Miles in a reasonable tone.
“Maybe she’ll think we nodded off doing our puzzles,” suggested Myrtle.
