Chickadee Chickadee Bang Bang is the fifth installment in the A Bird Lover's Mystery series set in Ruby Lake, NC featuring Birds & Bees owner Amy Simms. Amy and the rest of the town are looking forward to the Annual Fall Festival, the highlights of which include the Classic Tractor and Car Parade and the Miss Fall Festival Pageant.
When rumors begin to swirl that eccentric inventor Chick Sherman will be entering the car he's been secretly working on for years, everyone seems to want to compete in the parade. Amy's friends Karl and Floyd run out to buy a car and Paul Anderson owner of the Brewer's Biergarten teams up with Amy's boyfriend Derek Harlan to enter a vintage convertible.
Amy discovers that Chick's wife Trudy tells fortunes and sells antique collectibles. With her natural curiosity overflowing, Amy decides to visit Trudy and perhaps get a glimpse of her husband's mystery car. Amy visits the shop with best friend Kim Christy and discovers a hidden treasure trove of valuable Audubon prints and books but unfortunately gets caught by Chick sneaking into his garage. Later in the day when Amy discovers that she's dropped her cell phone at the Sherman's she goes back to find it and instead finds Chick smooshed to death under his vintage car.
When Paul Anderson becomes the prime suspect in Chick's death, Amy sets out with the help of her friends to find the real killer. Things begin to look even worse for Paul when another body is found in the trunk of his car. Amy quickly discovers that her investigation is ruffling a few feathers and she becomes the killer's next target.
A fast paced, fun storyline with a terrific cast of characters. Familiar faces including the delightful Esther "the pester" will have you smiling at their antics. The last few pages of the book reveal a twist that means a lot more fun to come.
