Mabel's parents, operators of a small-town rare-spoon museum and top-secret spies, have disappeared. Then, Mabel's beloved aunt Gertie is wrongly arrested for smuggling, and long-lost Uncle Frank and Aunt Stella arrive with demands to access the museum. Mabel relies on her self-authored spy guide to find her parents and identify the true criminal. Hosch's debut is a delightful mix of humor, suspense, and mystery.
