Death of a Metalhead

Micah Kafka's second entry in the Adventures of Henry Pets series is available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle.

Death of a Metalhead is a cozy, fair-play whodunit with a humorous, heartfelt tone, set in the fictional Verlorland Islands. It is Book 2 of The Adventures of Henry Pets, and it will appeal to fans of Knives Out and Agatha Christie-style puzzle mysteries.

Piper Tiffany murdered her bandmate, stashed his body in his Oldsmobile's trunk, and sank it to the bottom of a lake. Was it a rivalry between metalheads or a lovers' quarrel? Or is she innocent?

Propelled forward by the success of his first case, private detective Henry Pets takes on his next challenge: proving Piper is innocent. With his brother Jackson at his side, Henry must reinvestigate the events surrounding the murder. Meddling parents, pretentious musicians, wannabe social media influencers, and a lost pig threaten to derail him at every turn. Every answer only unearths more questions, and not even Henry and Jackson can agree on who to trust. Everyone, including Piper, wants to hide the truth.

Every clue is on the page. Readers learn what Henry and Jackson learn, when they learn it, so they can solve the case right alongside them. In Verlorland, where the law welcomes amateur detectives and even makes room for last-minute courtroom drama, nothing is what it seems.

The Adventures of Henry Pets begins with Murder at Henbit Manor (Book 1) and continues with Isles of Mist (Book 3).
