A red-bellied woodpecker may lead to a yellow-bellied killer …One morning when unwilling early bird Amy Simms grabs her binoculars for a closer look at the woodpecker who’s been waking her up, she can’t believe her eyes. Across Ruby Lake, through a curtain of rain, she sees a body being tossed out of an upstairs window at the old McKutcheon place.

Or at least she thinks she does. The police chief finds no body-only a discarded dressmaker’s dummy-and complains that Amy sent him on a wild-goose chase. She should probably focus on minding her store, Birds & Bees, but Amy can’t help snooping. And when she turns up another body-a murdered member of her birdwatching group-Amy once again needs to wing it as a sleuth to zoom in on a killer …

Praise for J.R. Ripley’s Buried in Beignets

Those who like their mysteries relatively nonviolent and delivered with a smile will thoroughly enjoy this little gem. -Booklist

A fun new cozy series. I would definitely read another, so I hope this is the first of many. -Myshelf.com
