Two Beautiful Butterflies by Gloria Moody

A presumed extinct butterfly and the poppy fields that a perfumery has leased also play a role in the mystery. Calling the story 'utterly captivating,' Booklist contributor Emily Melton praised Rain Dance for its 'fresh-as-a-breeze style, in-your-face humor, offbeat plot, and delightfully sassy heroine.' A Kirkus Reviews critic maintained that Moody's 'spirit and sophistication … smooth any number of rough edges.'īlue Poppy involves a dead young scientist, a perfume business, a model, a fiance, and murders. In Rain Dance the short, motorcycle-riding, daughter-of-a-movie-star sleuth returns from Singapore to determine the relationship between a violent murder and the altered pelican habits on Seattle's Ozone Beach. Rain Dance, the series debut, introduces the series' heroine, Department of Interior agent Venus Diamond.

The arcade is on the small side and a handful of the games weren't working when we were there. My kids (4 & 7) had a blast running around trying to find all of the animal stations hidden throughout. The maze hunt was actually more fun than I thought it would be. They will give you a return pass, but those passes have an expiration date on them so you have to use them or you lose them. There are no refunds in they close the mini-golf while you're on the course due to weather. There are also height and age requirements to drive the karts so if you have young kids, you'll need an adult to drive with them (which of course, costs more money for a double-rider than a single-rider).

Go-karts don't run if the track is wet, so if it's been raining, you might have to wait until the track dries out before they open it again. The prices are a little on the high side, but it is convenient that there are multiple options to keep busy in one location. There are two separate courses for mini-golf to choose from: a go-kart track, an arcade, and a maze hunt.
