Description

A lively portrait of small‑town intrigue unfolds as Lizzie and her friend Aggie stumble onto an odd advertisement for a gentle, female donkey named Modestine. Their curiosity quickly turns to suspicion when the mysterious Tish—known for her secretive schemes and habit of mimicking anyone’s newest hobby—appears to be planning a curious “walking tour” with the animal. The women’s attempts to uncover Tish’s plans lead them through a bustling apartment building, past a seamstress crafting summer clothes, and into a hallway where an unexpected bullet hole in the floor adds a sudden, comic jolt to their investigation.

The narrative blends sharp wit with a vivid sense of community, capturing the quirks of its characters as they navigate gossip, hidden motives, and the everyday drama of early‑twentieth‑century life. Listeners are invited into a world where a simple newspaper clipping can set off a chain of bewildering events, all delivered with a light‑hearted, almost conspiratorial tone that keeps the mystery both charming and suspenseful.
