The Woodpecker Always Pecks Twice, Paperback/J. R. Ripley

Descriere

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 Mc Kutcheon 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
