Maps, Mockingbirds, and Misdeeds - Paperback

Dogwood trees are blooming, migrating birds are arriving, and spring has finally made it to the village of Riley Creek, Tennessee. Martha Sloane, owner of Birds 'n' Beans coffee and birding shop and recently-elected President of the Retailers' Collective, is preparing to host the First Annual Nature Writers' Retreat. Feathers get ruffled when the keynote speaker goes belly up! The murder is pinned on one of Martha's BFFs, and Martha is pressed back into service to solve the case. Can she enlist Mother Nature's help to track down the killer and spring her gal pal before it's too late?

Martha has settled in as the owner of Birds 'n' Beans coffee and birding shop and the entire Riley Creek gang is looking forward to a brisk spring tourist trade.

Chief Perry and Martha are getting closer than ever just as she is elected President of the Retailers' Collective and writers arrive for the village's First Annual Nature Writers' Retreat.

But when the keynote speaker ends up on ice and one of Martha's BFFs is the prime suspect, it's up to Martha to solve the crime and make sure the retreat goes off without a hitch...or another dead body.
