And Then There Were Gnomes - Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye by Colleen AF Venable Paperback

About the Book

Sasspants, reluctant Guinea Pig PI, solves the case of the pet ship ghost (and the multitude of missing mice) with the help of her sidekick, Hamisher the Hamster. Once again, they must circumvent well-meaning pet shop owner Mr. Venezi, who still cant tell mice from walruses or hamsters (in birthday hats) from gnomes.

Book Synopsis

Sasspants, PI(G), the world's fluffiest detective, is back on the case―or she will be, if her sidekick Hamisher can convince her there's really a mystery afoot. Hamisher has made up so many stories, Sasspants doesn't believe him. But one by one the mice in Mr. Venezi's pet shop are going missing, and all the spooky clues point to...a ghost! Once our shaggy Sherlocks start digging for answers, they will stop at nothing to ferret out the truth!
