A clean, humorous cozy mystery filled with small-town secrets, amateur sleuthing, quirky characters, and plenty of feathered charm.
The birds have disappeared. Then someone turns up dead.
Peg Howard hoped life in Pensacola would finally settle down. Instead, Stone Creek Cove's beloved egrets vanish from the local rookery, sparking rumors, accusations, and more than a little small-town chaos.
When Peg joins the search alongside her sharp-as-a-tack mother-in-law, Hazel, the mystery takes a deadly turn after they uncover a body connected to the missing birds. Now Peg is tangled in a web of shady deals, buried grudges, and secrets someone will do anything to protect.
Between caring for her energetic new puppy, navigating two very different men competing for her attention, and trying not to become the town's unofficial detective, Peg has enough on her plate already. But when the threats start feeling personal, walking away is no longer an option.
In Stone Creek Cove, everyone knows everyone-and that makes finding a killer even more dangerous.
Perfect for fans of:
- Cozy mysteries with amateur sleuths
- Clean, no-spice fiction
- Small-town Florida mysteries
- Strong female leads
- Light humor with suspense
Set against the charming Gulf Coast backdrop, No Egrets delivers humor, heart, and twists that will keep you guessing. In this lively third installment, Peg discovers that in a town full of friendly faces and buried secrets, the truth can be far more dangerous than anyone expected.

Review :
After three books with the dynamic duo of Peg and Hazel, I feel completely justified in my long-held belief that birds are, in fact, hazardous to your health. And Jen Dodrill proves me right once again in No Egrets, with a twisty mystery that surprised me more than once. (To be fair to our feathered friends, it's not the birds who are dangerous in this series, just the
humans who are after them) - M. Carrie
Peg Howard's adventures are entertaining, interesting, and engaging. She is an empty nester and a widow who finds herself involved in murder investigations. In this third book, she goes from searching for missing egrets to finding a body. Who would have thought bird watching could be dangerous? Peg juggles adult children, her mother.in.law, and potential suitors as she works to discover who dunnit. This is a clean, cozy mystery that values family, friendship, and caring for others. It also keeps you guessing! -- Annette T.
This is a fun cozy mystery that's full of twists and turns and even some laughs as they search to find the egrets. A little romance makes the story sweet. The previous 2 books compliment this third book, but it can also be enjoyed as a standalone read. Clean and is suitable for everyone who wants to relax and read an enjoyable book. --K's Girl
