Bookroo's summary

The Museum of Food Art is in chaos after a priceless painting vanishes overnight. Enter the Pigeon Private Detectives, a trio with a knack for solving mysteries and a love for snacks. As they dive into the case, they face a cunning thief who excels in disguise. Will their detective skills and appetite for adventure be enough to unmask the culprit? Join this humorous and thrilling chase through a world where art and mystery collide, and nothing is quite as it seems.

From the publisher

The Museum of Food Art is in a state of panic! A priceless painting was pilfered in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the Pigeon Private Detectives–PPD for short–are on the scene. These three detectives crave cracking a good case almost as much as they like snacks. But can they catch a thief who appears to be a master of disguise? Once again, author-illustrator Christee Curran-Bauer pokes fun at detective procedurals with kid-friendly humor, as she did in book one of the series, The Case of the Missing Tarts
