In Agatha Award and Macavity Award-winning author Maddie Day's fifth
cozy Capers Book Club Mystery, it's mud season in Cape Cod, and when an
ill wind blows in a murder with a twist in the tale, bicycle shop owner
Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida and her crime-solving book group are ready to
leaf through the clues . . .
Everyone loves a festival, though Mac has a few concerns about the
Spring equinox event organized by the new Chamber of Commerce director,
Wagner Lavoie. After all, March weather is unpredictable. Still, there's
plenty to enjoy, between flower-shaped candies at Salty Taffy's, spring
rolls at the Rusty Anchor, and a parade of decorated bicycles. But the
festivities soon take a stormy turn . . .
Mac glimpses conflict between Wagner and other locals during the
festival, but it's a shock when he's found dead in the Book Nook, pinned
beneath a toppled bookshelf. It's an irresistible case for Mac's book
group. She and the rest of the Cozy Capers will have to use all their
sleuthing skills to bring the killer's story to an end . . .
