About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Clara Whitman came to Florida for a fresh start. She did not come for the screaming.
Newly divorced and barely unpacked in Sunny Shores, Clara hears bloodcurdling cries outside her new home and frantically dials 911.
The culprit? A flock of peacocks that has apparently decided the quiet Clam Bayou neighborhood belongs to them.
But when the birds cause even more mayhem, Clara’s eccentric new roommate, Paisley, becomes convinced there’s more going on than badly behaved wildlife. Clara grew up around cops. She prefers facts to wild theories.
Until the facts start getting weird.
Soon Clara is riding shotgun in Paisley’s pink golf cart, questioning neighbors, navigating petty neighborhood feuds, and discovering that her new roommate may have absolutely no respect for boundaries...
…but she’s surprisingly good at solving mysteries.
SOMETHING’S FOWL IN SUNNY SHORES is a funny, feel-good mystery novella packed with Florida weirdness, peacocks behaving badly, a judgmental Brussels Griffon, and the beginning of Clara and Paisley’s unlikely friendship.
Welcome to Sunny Shores. Things get strange here.
My Review
Clara Whitman’s life was a mess. Her 25 year old marriage is over. She buys a 1972 Ford F-150 pink truck she names Betsy. Betsy will be holding her mobile flower shop. She even adopts a dog, Herbie. Clara travels to Florida to set up her new life.
She gets a roommate, Paisley, but things don’t start off very well. Clara hears screaming and immediately calls 911. She finds out the screaming isn’t a person. It’s a peacock. Actually it’s a flock of peacocks. The birds are causing the town a whole series of problems. Paisley and Clara team up to find out how to put a stop to this and where did the peacocks come from in the first place?
This is a prequel and it looks to be a fun cozy mystery series. There’s much potential with this series. It’s a wild and wacky ride with a quirky supporting cast and a cute dog. I'm a big fan of this author, so it will be interesting to see where this series goes. Although this is a nice introduction to the cast, I'm looking forward to reading the first full length book.
