One rainy day, Sweetie Belle is lured away from the spine-tingling, cloak-and-dagger trials and tribulations of the infamous Shadow Spade, by the only thing better than reading mysteries: living one.

Our heroine is pretty darn sure that something fishy is going on around Carousel Boutique. She's never had to help her sister with an order like this before. A dozen fancy dresses for some mystery foal, sight unseen? What's a filly to do, besides investigate? A very important commission is only the start of something so much more, as our pintsized gum(horse)shoe begins her new investigative career!
