Trouble arrives at Sugar Hill when Harry Bottoms checks into the Sugar Cookie Inn.

He complains about everything and even tries to have Matilda’s two birds, Tara and John Paul, taken from her because, he says, she’s abusing them. Of course, the claim is false. Matilda loves the birds and would do nothing to harm them. Besides that, he calls the health department to complain that his food was contaminated with salmonella. All his treachery comes to an end when Matilda discovers him dead in his car in the parking lot behind the inn. Who killed him and why? That’s what Matilda wants to know. Once she starts trying to find answers for her questions, she finds that things definitely are not what they seem.
