Can a yellow throat toucan, and lyrics from Neil Diamond songs, help Bliss solve the murder of a local woman competing in the annual fishing derby?
The phone rings at the crack of dawn. Life for Bliss, Whitney, and Hannah shoots rapidly out of control. First, the only fisherman at the derby is found in her ex-husbands BBQ smoker. Even though Lucys less-than-sparkling personality offers up a truly diverse group of suspects, her on-again-off-again relationship with the ex makes him the leading suspect. But was it possible for the 120-pounds-soaking-wet man to lift the muscular woman alone?
Next, another murderalso a tournament competitor, and VP at the bank. As far as Bliss knows, the two peoples lives never crossed. Is it a coincidence they both die of an insulin overdose? Strange that each of their spouses are diabetics.
A visit in the form of Whitneys deceased exes brother drops another snag in the day. Nobody just passes through Magnolia Bluff, Texas. Whats behind Matts sudden appearance and persistent demands for money?
