Ruby Lake, North Carolina, might be the perfect place to
go birdwatching during autumn, but it's also a habitat for
murder . . .

As Birds & Bees owner Amy Simms guides a halfhearted
birding group around Ruby Lake, rumors soon start flying
about the annual Fall Festival's classic car and tractor
show. Local eccentric Chick Sherman-boasting the hottest
ride in town-has ruffled feathers by mysteriously entering
the contest, and curious Amy hatches a plan to sneak a
glimpse at the phantom automobile before the big event
kicks off . . .

But competition turns deadly when Amy finally spots the
sleek '56 El Morocco-and it's on top of Chick's very dead
body. With her neighbor and business partner framed as the
murderer and priceless Audubon prints suddenly missing
from Chick's home, only Amy can identify the telltale
markings of a killer before another hapless victim is
plucked from the flock . . .
