Fish and Chip: Nine Lives, One Cheap Thrill

Hi, I’m Josie Janglewood, and I own a theme park where people die more often than the mechanical rides break down—which is saying something.

When I agreed to host Morning Coffee & Chaos at Huckleberry Hollow Wonderland for a week of spooky season festivities, I expected the usual disasters: broken rides, screaming children, and my ex-husband Clyde making everything worse.

What I got was a dead TV producer face-first in the pumpkin spice lattes, a bestselling author, three bitter ex-spouses with motives, and my cats Fish and Chip dressed as a pumpkin princess and bat-winged knight.

Did I mention I can read the minds of animals? Yeah, that’s a thing.

Fish thinks everyone is guilty, Chip just wants to eat the evidence, and a Southern poodle named Cupcake keeps offering relationship advice while I’m trying to solve murders.

Between my ex’s new nickname (Thunder Wolf—don’t ask), a lifestyle guru who documents everything including her dental floss technique, and enough coffee cup switching to make your head spin, I’ve got to figure out who added poison to the morning brew.

All while dressed as a zombie bride and trying not to fall for the hot detective whose mother thinks I’m a walking disaster magnet. She’s not wrong.

Welcome to my life at Huckleberry Hollow where the only thing more guaranteed than screaming from the Haunted House is someone ending up dead. At least the maple bourbon bread pudding is to die for.

Though preferably not literally.

Fish: Another murder at our park. We’re becoming a statistical anomaly. Chip: But did you see how many desserts were at that party? Worth every corpse! Fish: Your priorities are deeply concerning.

We solved a murder while you focused on maple bourbon bread pudding. Chip: I can multitask! I identified the killer AND the best desserts simultaneously.

Fish: The killer was literally covered in chocolate because of you jumping on her. Chip: That was tactical chocolate deployment. Very professional.

Fish: We should charge extra for the murder mystery experience. It’s basically dinner theater now. Chip: With better food! Did you try those pumpkin cheesecake bars? Life-changing!
