With the aid of a cheeky little corgi dog and handyman Aubrey, they begin to search out the clues to this motor-related murder.

Cozy story/horrible narration

The story is a fun mystery but the attempt at an accent of the cousin and grandma is grating. It’s too bad because the story is sweet and other characters are narrated nicely.
