No Egrets

When the birds disappear, the secrets take flight. Life in Stone Creek Cove is supposed to be peaceful-sunny Florida days, friendly neighbors, and a rookery of beloved egrets nesting near the creek. So when the birds vanish overnight, Peg Howard expects nothing more than a little small-town drama. She doesn't expect to find a body. Volunteered to help search for the missing egrets, Peg teams up with her mother-in-law, Hazel, and quickly discovers that Stone Creek Cove has more secrets than birdwatchers. Rumors spread, tempers flare, and what started as a harmless mystery turns into a full-blown murder investigation. Already juggling a doting grandmother role, a mischievous new puppy, and two very different men competing for her attention, Peg has no desire to become an amateur sleuth. But when cryptic clues and thinly veiled threats suggest someone wants the truth buried, Peg knows walking away isn't an option. As Peg and Hazel dig deeper, they uncover shady deals, long-held grudges, and motives hiding behind polite smiles. And in a town where everyone knows everyone, the killer could be closer than Peg ever imagined. Can Peg untangle the mystery before curiosity turns deadly-or will this case cost her more than a few feathers? No Egrets is a charming cozy murder mystery set in Florida, perfect for readers who love women sleuths, amateur detectives, and cozy mysteries with animals.
