When brilliant but restless engineer Jake Holloway moves to this sleepy town to escape the corporate grind and chase his entrepreneurial dreams, he expects peace and quiet. What he gets instead is a mayor obsessed with Wonderville’s reputation, a city councilor teetering on the edge of a midlife crisis, and a nosy neighbor whose hobbies might include blackmail. Then there’s the fourteen-year-old paperboy who can’t keep out of trouble—especially after he breaks his arm and starts using his free time for mischief.

The chaos begins with the annual casserole bake-off, but it’s the mysterious, alien-themed flyers that follow—delivered alongside the town newspaper—that send Wonderville into a frenzy. The scandalous flyers contain outrageous "news" about extraterrestrial activity and expose the town's eccentricities in ways too close to reality for comfort. Furious about the damage to her reputation, the mayor enlists Jake to find the culprit.

As Jake digs into the mystery, he uncovers more than he bargained for. Everyone in Wonderville has something to hide, and the truth might just blow the lid off the whole town.

Witty, heartwarming, and packed with laugh-out-loud moments, "Casseroles and Conspiracies" is a satirical romp through small-town life, where the line between fact and fiction is as blurry as a UFO sighting. If you love sharp humor, quirky characters, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very last page, this is the book for you.

Wonderville is waiting. But are you ready for what’s hiding there?

Perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman and Carl Hiaasen.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
