Book Overview

Paradise Gone Wrong!

Catalina Island, 1932, a palm tree paradise 26 miles across the sea from Los Angeles. Sparky, our eleven-year-old former street punk and unlikely amateur sleuth, thinks this spot looks pretty nice.

But it doesn’t take long for paradise to go wrong with murder and mayhem!

It's cra... zy times on an even crazier movie set . . . where a body becomes an unexpected prop! What the heck is going on with the fake royalty? The runaway mayor of Los Angeles?

Can smart-mouthed Sparky untangle this insanity and discover whodunit? Or will she get in trouble . . . yet again?

With this fifth book in the “Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery” series, the gang gets together again: Sparky, her buddies, Tootsie her silent screen star guardian, Tootsie's mysterious assistant Gilbert, secretive Doctor, along with Bookie and the rest of the crooks.

With everyone in the mix, there’s bound to be hilarious chaos!

The "Sparky of Bunker Hill Mysteries" are a fun read for tweens to grownups who enjoy cozy, historical mysteries with a dash of wacky noir.

“The Catalina Cahoots” mystery can be read as a standalone or enjoyed with the rest of the series: “The Cold Kid Case,” “The Cannibal Caper,” “The Monkey Island Murder,” and “The South Seas Shenanigans.”

“Zowie! Make time to hang with Sparky, amateur detective of Bunker Hill. You’ll be glad you did!” —Diane Vallere, national bestselling author of the “Madison Night Mystery Series”
