Kat is settling into her new landscape supply store, and business is looking up… until one of her best customers goes missing and she was the last person to see him alive. When a weird magical current turns up in the small town, Kat can’t help but think there’s something really off about the whole situation.
Thinking she knew a thing or two about the guy, Kat launches her own investigation, and swiftly begins tripping over the skeletons in his closet. Half the town has written the man off as dead in Australia’s harsh bushlands, but Kat is certain he’s still alive.
Up against the clock, Kat must work fast to establish the cause of the magical disturbance and what the heck it had to do with Steve before exposure to unseasonal heat made his death inevitable. All while avoiding the scourge of kangaroos threatening to run her off the road.
The Kangaroo Case is the second book in the Trouble Down Under series—a paranormal cozy mystery with a horticultural twist. If you enjoy travel, small town mysteries, a dash of gardening and a splash of magic, you’ll love P.A. Mason’s quirky Aussie take on small town cozies.
