Maddy Whitman knows a good deal when she sees one — until the deal starts stabbing back.


As a buyer of abandoned storage units, Maddy thought her biggest worry would be dust and the occasional questionable odour. But when a rare knife she’s trying to sell vanishes — and resurfaces with a deadly twist — Maddy finds herself in the middle of a mystery sharper than any blade.
With her loyal - and slightly nosy - friends in tow, Maddy must untangle a web of secrets, lies, and suspicious baked goods to find the culprit. And just when she thinks things can't get any weirder, her grandfather and Aunt Shirley start acting...well, suspicious.

 

One thing’s for sure: in Maddy’s world, storage wars aren’t just about bidding — they’re about survival.


Packed with laugh-out-loud moments, quirky characters, and a mystery that will keep you guessing, this is one case you won't want to put back in storage!
