A clean, humorous cozy mystery featuring a midlife, amateur sleuth, small-town secrets, and a deadly birding group.
Peg Howard—widow, mom blogger, and brand-new empty nester—is desperate for a fresh start. When a late-night post sends her loyal Mamma Birds readers into a panic, Peg takes a follower’s advice and launches the Empty Nesters Birding Group in sunny Pensacola, Florida.
But their first outing turns deadly.
A fellow birder collapses after handling birdseed contaminated with peanuts—seed that should have been safe. As a hurricane barrels toward the Gulf Coast and Peg’s overbearing (and animal-loving) mother-in-law invades her newly quiet home, Peg hopes the chaos will pass.
But the real danger is just beginning.
After the storm, Peg discovers one of her new friends has been attacked, and the killer is still on the scene. A fall down a staircase leaves Peg injured, shaken, and more determined than ever to uncover the truth.
With a broken foot, a stubborn streak, and help from her unlikely allies—including her meddling mother-in-law and a charming detective whose dimples are dangerously distracting—Peg dives into a murder investigation that proves retirement from motherhood doesn’t mean a quiet life.
