It started with a bunch of crazy monkeys!

Sparky knows Bookie didn’t commit the murder at the ratty Monkey Island tourist trap in downtown Los Angeles, 1932. He couldn’t have!  But how can she solve this impossible crime and prove he’s innocent? Eleven-year-old former street punk Sparky is prepared to do what it takes to find the evidence that will get Bookie out of the slammer, including sneaking into a Hollywood celebrity cemetery for a spot of . . . midnight grave robbing?

The Monkey Island Murder is the third novel in the Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery series. This award-winning, Amazon bestselling cozy noir historical mystery series with a sense of humor also includes The Cold Kid Case, The Cannibal Caper, and The South Seas Shenanigans.

Here I read from the first chapter at an IWOSC event:
