Goose and Penny Mysteries

Slings and Sparrows

Are you a fan of the Beryl and Edwina mysteries by Jessica Ellicott, the Cat Who series by Lillian Jackson Braun, Donna Andrews’s bird mysteries with Meg Langslow, Murder, She Wrote with Jessica Fletcher, Golden Girls, Thursday Murder Club, or senior sleuths?

Slings and Sparrows is the first in a new cozy, historical mystery series set in the 1990s! Sisters Goose and Penny think they’ve retired to a small slice of heaven on acreage with everything from peacocks to guinea fowl, ducks to geese, ravens to quail. Their days are filled with your typical squawking and yelping coming from all corners, until the murder of a cockatiel leads them to wonder if they’ve let a fox in amongst their kindly chickens.
