MURDER ON THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR

This is another good book about Maisy Malone. In this book Maisy and her friends get into another investigation. I love the side characters. Thats what makes this so good. Maisy and her friends work on a case but this time is a little different. The cops are wanting there help. This is my favorite one so far. Stephanie Brush does a great job narrating this book.
