Wham! And Ivy is down, smack in the middle of a sidewalk brawl with a woman in a red cape. Senior-age Ivy is not generally a brawling-on-the-sidewalk person, and this is not what she and Mac had in mind when they headed their motorhome to the small town of Stumble, on the banks of the Washington state side of the Columbia River. All Ivy wanted was a temporary job advertised by the local library. What she got in addition to the library job and the brawl was the angry enmity of the red-caped woman determined to get her fire from the job. And murder. Murder by unicorn. With Ivy as a suspect in the murder, she and Mac are sleuthing again to find the real killer. With several complications. Unplanned involvement in a local feud over a new community for wealthy retirees. Ivy's arrest draped in a lacy black negligee. A hostile cat, and a killer with deadly plans to bring Ivy's future to a murderous end.
