June Bug is the second in the Murder by Month mystery series. Mira James is a part time reporter for the Battle Lake Recall and head librarian in Battle Lake, Minnesota. Mira and her cat Tiger Pop have settled into the double wide trailer she is housesitting for her friend Sunny and taking care of Sunny's German Shepherd, Luna.
When Jason Blunt stumbles into her bedroom drunk, Sunny is not happy to see the man she had a bad experience with as a young college student. Jason lets it slip that he is back in Battle Lake to dive for the Shangri-La diamond. Local legend has it that a guest staying at the Shangri- La lodge had gone swimming with a huge dewdrop diamond around her neck and when she emerged from the lake the diamond was gone. Divers had searched to locate the diamond in the past to no avail.
The new owners of Shangri-La have started a contest to bring more tourists to the tiny town. In conjunction with rival Minneapolis newspaper the Star Tribune, they have buried a fake diamond in the lake and whomever finds it will receive a $5000 reward along with a free week vacation at Shangri-La.
In an effort to scoop the rival newspaper and find the diamond herself, Mira dives not only into the lake but the shady behaviors of both locals and tourists. A fast paced romp with fun, quirky characters.
