Small town secrets. Vintage style. A killer with a grudge.

Welcome to Moon's Landing, where the peacocks roam free, the neighbors watch everything, and murder comes dressed in nostalgia.

Birdie Lopez never expected to inherit her aunt's sprawling Victorian home—or her white coonhound, Butterscotch. But when her beloved Aunt Lula is found dead under suspicious circumstances (blamed on peacocks, no less), Birdie knows something isn't right. Her stolen camera bag, a trail of HOA grudges, and a dog with blood on her paw lead Birdie into a tangled web of secrets that the sleepy coastal town would rather keep buried.

Armed with a vintage camera, her signature red lipstick, and more curiosity than caution, Birdie teams up with Butterscotch to uncover the truth. Along the way, she crosses paths with a whiskey-smooth neighbor, a ruthless HOA queen, and a decades-old mystery just waiting to resurface.

Perfect for readers who love:
