Murder and deception flock to Misty Valley. Can Ebrel and Punkin crack the case?

 

The rarest of therare, the Marocchino Sparrow has been the object of desire for many. The quest for it has always ended in death.

 

When a clutch of birders descend on Misty Valley in hopes of spying rare species, one bird in particular is drawing all of the attention. Compounded by murder, and by a ghost who is obsessed with the quest, the Mystic Brews gang find themselves a flutter with too much mystery, and a lack of evidence.

 

Add in Punkin's new quest to be a wise-quacking private eye and the mystery gets hard-boiled. Ebrel has her hands full, keeping him out of hot water, while trying to quack the case.

 

With new friends in the flock, Ebrel discovers they're in a race against the feathered clock to find the killer and recover the treasure before a nefarious plot is hatched. Worst of all, the feather points right at one of Ebrel's newest friends!

About the author

Alyn Troy

Little did our intrepid author know that growing up in Northern Indiana would lead him to a career of crime… writing.
Alyn Troy’s teenage insistence on spending time with his nose in books, living in fictitious worlds inhabited by amateur sleuths, dastardly deeds, and even magic, gave him the foundations for creating his magical world where murder, magic, and snarky talking cats collide on a daily basis.
​​​​​​​After spending a decade as a news photographer, and two more decades as a wedding photographer, he and his wife moved to the smog-filled streets of Los Angeles. He found himself sitting on a tiny balcony outside their equally tiny apartment in smog-filled Los Angeles. While his wife pursued her career, he used the memories of his crime–(fiction)–filled childhood to create the world found in his Mystic Brews, Pixie Twist, and Eerie Falls series of Cozy Mystery stories.
He released his 18th novel set in this world earlier this summer (2023), and is currently writing yet another paranormal mystery. If you listen to the feline familiars of each story, you couldn’t be faulted for believing that the snarky talking cats do more to solve the mysteries, eat the chili-cheese dogs, and catch the bad guys by the end of each story.
Fortunately, Alyn is there to set the record straight and show how April, the barista in Wales, Twizzle, the pixie realtor in Southern California, and Sammi the librarian in Ontario save the day. They do so, of course, with a little help from their friends. And from the snarky talking cats.
