For Amy Simms, hatching a birding shop in her hometown of Ruby Lake,
North Carolina, hasn't exactly been a breeze. But could a deadly
discovery clip her wings for good?
It's just days before Amy plans to open Birds & Bees on the first floor
of her creaky Victorian house, but delayed seed shipments have prevented
the fledging owner from stocking her shelves. And it doesn't help that
Amy's best friend and business partner is out of town indefinitely. With
locals skeptical about the niche shop taking flight, the last thing Amy
needs now is a dead man in her storeroom--or for a crotchety tenant to
catch her holding a bloody birdfeeder hook over his body . . .
Pigeonholed as a leading murder suspect by police and lacking a solid
alibi, Amy's delving into the victim's ugly past and buzzing around Ruby
Lake for clues on his killer . . . before she ends up like so many of
her beloved feathery friends--trapped behind bars!
