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 sort of 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 who now seems determined to get her fired from the job. There's also murder. By unicorn. And with Ivy as a suspect in the murder, she and Mac are sleuthing again. With several complications. The oddity of the murder weapon. 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.
