The Redemption Center Is Closed on Sundays [Hairston, Andrea]
In the Heart of Mystery Lies Redemption...
Every Sunday, Oona the St. Berdoodle and her current owner, Zsuzsu, make their way through the winding paths of the State Park to the enigmatic Redemption Center--a place often mistaken for a haunted mansion. When a local celebrity is found murdered, the unexpected brings Oona together with a rag-tag group of local misfits. Together they venture into the depths of the Center's mystery to untangle the threads of murder and deception. But Oona holds two secrets: she's a citizen of the multiverse, able to travel between dimensions at will, and more importantly, she knows the killer's identity. Unfortunately, the killer knows she knows, and he's determined to find her and silence her for good. An extra-dimensional murder mystery with conundrums, alien tricksters, and a dog detective who just doesn't know the meaning of "stay".Publisher: Macmillan Publishers (MPS)
