Susan Becker keeps finding herself mixed up in mysteries when she should be busy cooking up something sweet in her bakery in the small tourist town of Lakeside, Missouri. Her best feline friend, Mr. Giles, is one of those curious cats who can't keep away from a fresh crime scene.

Detective Kip Fletcher has the unpleasant job of finding out who dug up and stole the corpse of one of the town's leading citizens.

A missing body. A mysterious skeleton key. Unexplained lights that could be the town's first ghost.

Mr. Giles already knows the truth. But can he guide Susan and Kip to the body snatchers before they vanish along with the corpse?
