Murder, mayhem, and a whiff no one can place. It's all in a day's sleuthing for Hattiewick's sharpest seniors.

In the small town of Hattiewick, nothing stirs up more excitement than a wedding.

That is, until the big day is brought to a grinding halt by a shocking turn of events, and three sharp‑witted residents find themselves facing a conundrum that requires a little more brainpower than deciding which hat to wear to the nuptials.

As whispers ripple through the community, a newcomer arrives in town. Is he an ally, or the prime suspect no one saw coming?

With their curiosity, a dash of humour, and a friendship forged over years of shared ups and downs, the trio sets out to uncover the truth. But as the clues pile up, one question lingers -- quite literally -- at each crime scene... What is that smell?

Join Joe, Jean and Peggy as they set out to solve their first Hattiewick small-town mystery.
