Who Killed Millie Mouse?

Bearing a striking resemblance to the phoenix rising from the burning ashes, a little dead creature of the rodentia species brought forth this author's latest writing Who Killed Millie Mouse? Truly an inspiration, there it was occupying space on the counter in her recently sanitized powder room - and dead as a stump. The author turned to fantasy and imagination to solve the mystery.

Set in 1800s France during the Plume Boom period when the rage for elegant bird feathers in the millinery trade swept across Europe, and as Madame LaRee Fury is carrying out experiments in her lab, she is struck by a mental image in horrid detail - the death of Millie Mouse.

As news of her demise travels through the city of Hickory Dickory Rock, mounting suspicion follows Millie's relatives, her employees, and a former acquaintance; meanwhile, Inspector Jean Moreau seems to be dragging his feet in solving the crime prompting Madame Fury to begin asking questions.
