Bumblebee Boogie — Cindy Davis

Can a yellow throat toucan, and lyrics from Neil Diamond songs, help Joy solve the murder of a local woman competing in the annual fishing derby? The phone rings at the butt-crack of dawn. Life for Joy, Whitney, and Anna rapidly spirals out of control. Within hours, the only fisher-woman at the derby is found crammed in her ex-husband's smoker. Even though Ronnie's less-than-sparkling personality offers up a voluminous number of suspects, her on-again-off-again relationship with the ex makes him the leading suspect. But was it possible for the 110-pounds-soaking-wet man to lift the 180-pound woman without help?That night, another murder-also a tournament competitor, and an officer in the bank. As far as Joy knows, their lives never crossed. Even so, she believes the deaths are related. Especially when it's disclosed that each died of insulin overdose. Strange that each of their spouses are diabetics.A blast from the past arrives in the form of Whitney's exe's brother. Nobody just passes through Uncertain, Florida. So, what's behind Matt's relentless demands and threats?As the girls decipher clues brought by the toucan, and the reason for Matt's appearance, a Tibetan monk arrives to perform the ceremony to transition Merrick's ghost to the girls' new house. Unfortunately, Matt's interference sends Merrick's spirit shooting into the ether. Can they get him back, or is he lost forever?
