Here's a podcast synopsis with the book's distinctive voice:

Ladies and gentlemen, mystery lovers and corgi enthusiasts, buckle up for "Maisie Meadows - Death by Decaf"—where coffee isn't the only thing getting cold!

Meet Maisie Meadows: high school English teacher, accidental detective, and owner of the most overqualified four-legged investigator in Niceville. Waffles the corgi isn't just a pet—he's a full-blown crime-solving machine with more detective skills than most human professionals.

When a mysterious medallion surfaces in an antique shop, Maisie uncovers a decades-old mystery that someone desperately wants to keep buried. We're talking a cold case from 1923 that's about to get very, very hot.

Threatening notes? Check. Shadowy figures at football games? Double-check. A corgi with an attitude problem? Absolutely.

Our author, Max Myka, brings this wild ride to life. A retired educator with 30 years of teaching experience, an 8th Degree Grand Master in Taekwondo, and a certified scuba diver, Max knows how to craft a story that'll keep you guessing—and laughing.

Imagine "Murder, She Wrote" meets "Corgi Cops," with a dash of small-town sass and more plot twists than a pretzel factory.

One part literary detective, one part comedy, all parts awesome—"Maisie Meadows - Death by Decaf" proves that in Niceville, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not with a corgi on the case.

Grab your coffee, hold onto your sense of humor, and get ready for the ninth installment of the most hilarious mystery series you'll read this year!
