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 spots Chick's dead body beneath the prized car. 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 . . .

Although business is booming at Birds & Bees, Amy's entrepreneurial enterprise keeps getting sidetracked by mysterious happenings among the town's quirky and colorful citizens – and she must put her detective skill to use to solve these deadly cases.
