A clean, funny cozy mystery with a sharp amateur sleuth and a birding group that's anything but peaceful.
Peg Howard finally has time to reinvent herself. Her kids are grown, her house is quiet, and her mom blog followers are convinced she's about to disappear. So Peg does the sensible thing-she starts a birding group.
What could possibly go wrong?
On their very first outing in Pensacola, one of the birders drops dead after handling supposedly peanut-free seed. Then a hurricane rolls in. Then Peg's overbearing, animal-hoarding mother-in-law takes over her house.
And that's just the beginning.
After the storm clears, Peg finds one of her new friends barely alive-and comes face-to-face with a killer who isn't finished yet. A tumble down the stairs leaves her in a boot with a broken foot, but slowing down isn't an option. Not when a murderer is still out there.
With a reluctant partner, an unstoppable mother-in-law, and a distractingly charming detective, Peg starts asking questions... and getting dangerously close to answers.
Turns out, empty nesting isn't nearly as peaceful as she expected.
And solving murders?
That might be her new favorite hobby.
