This is a soft, cozy mystery and is non-graphic. For the first eight years of his daughter's life, 1950-1959, Vincente Bonaventura must dodge the Willis drug cartel and raise his little girl.. He has to try and figure out, first: who is hiding packages of uncut cocaine in his car, and second: how to get out of this situation. From Caddo Lake, Louisiana through Charlottesville; Philadelphia; Atlantic City; Boston; Monterrey, Mexico and back into the United States to Chicago, Julie (Vince's daughter) grows up becoming more mature than her age, helping her dad contend with the Willis cartel and the mob, cooking like a gourmet and cleaning the house like a good girl.
A Super-Hero in the eyes of his daughter, Vince Bonaventura is a dashing, fancy-dressing tailor/farmer born in the dark, cypress bayous of northern Louisiana near Mooringsport. In 1950, he begins to seek his fame and fortune by selling Fuller Brush door-to-door around the south while raising his infant daughter. An old childhood "friend" Bannister Willis stashes 5 kilos of uncut cocaine in the trunk of his Studebaker at a gas station in the backwaters of Tennessee, forcing Vince to mysteriously mail it General Delivery to the Princeton Department of Archaeology where it will be picked up. This is the beginning of a "go-round" with the early DEA, FBI and a couple of mob cartels.
Back by the area of his old family home near Caddo Lake in the bayou, Vince rescues a starving 6 week old black and white bulldog puppy which accompanies him and his daughter on their travels. He has a "matching thing" so he names the puppy Romeo to match his daughter's name (Julietta/Julie) and buys himself and Julie black and white saddle shoes to match the dog's spots.
Emma, Julie's mother, died from Cholera the same year Julie was born, so the puppy is Vince's comfort and crying pillow. A puppy and an infant are just the thing Vince needs right now. Emma was his wife, but also his friend and he truly misses her. He does not find a girlfriend until Julie is almost eight.
This book takes place from 1950 to 1959 and contains as much memorabilia from the fifties as possible. It is the first volume in a historical progression into the sixties (second book will be entitled "TIE DYE" and is projected to be available summer 2016). One can see the slow evolution of Julietta Bonaventura into a smart, talented hippie chick and politically astute observer of all the civil rights changes at the end of the fifties and into the Age of Aquarius.
The dream of her father to be successful comes true, as well as the dreams of the south to breathe free. Not bad for a Fuller Brush man, Electro-lux salesman and purveyor of the Encyclopedia Britannica with the new, heavy wooden shelf that comes with it.
Finally freeing himself and his daughter from the drug cartel and the Boston mob, Vince finds a fine desk job with Sears Catalog in Chicago and starts his own men's wear tailoring shop, working inside -- out of the vagaries of the weather. He buys a Corvette and a Panhead Harley motorcycle, and celebrates with his new girlfriend, Chun-hua, a Chinese-American law student from the University of Chicago, his first love after the death of his wife, Emma.
Zara Brooks-Watson also writes the Silver Lake Cozy Mysteries under the pseudonym of Sophia Watson.

A wonderful work of fiction!
By Amazon Customer
Everybody should read this book! I mean, everybody! It’s one of those gems that you don’t expect to come across amongst the indie authors, which are destined to be classics. This book is one of those gems.
It has everything: a finely written setting which transfers you to the 50’s America, great characters you love from page one, great story line and what I appreciate most in all books, a fine literary language. The author’s story-telling talent is undoubtable, reading “Jitterbug” was most enjoyable.
The plot is very gripping; basically it follows the main character Vince Bonaventura – son of Italian immigrants, and his little daughter Julie as they leave the comforts of their old home in the South behind, and take a journey to find a new, better life in the North. But it’s not all that easy when Vince gets dragged into the drug trafficking business and gets caught in between two mob families. Trying to protect his daughter, Vince runs to Mexico, and on his way he discovers that he’s wanted for murder that he didn’t commit…
The real treat for me was what a wonderful job Ms. Brooks-Watson did in creating a setting for her novel. She is showing, not just telling her story, and you feel the heat on a summer day, you hear the music in the background, you hear the coyotes howl in a Mexican desert, you are there, together with the characters.
I really can’t recommend this book enough. A wonderful work of fiction!

5 stars for Jitterbug!
By carissa backherms
Wow! Right from the start I was entranced by the author's ability to paint the scene. The story felt so real and I was drawn to the main character. 1950's Chicago, Vince is determined to take his daughter and go in search of a better life up North. But things are not that simple. He falls into the underworld of drug trafficking and mobsters. And then to top it all off...he learns at the worst possible time that he is wanted for murder. The plot builds nicely, with the author creating and building upon the world around me. This is an interesting story, its own unique twist of historical fiction and mystery. This is one of the best mysteries I've read in a long time, and I truly enjoyed the author's storytelling abilities. She wove the story around me, creating a masterpiece I'll never forget. Anyone who enjoys mysteries and great writing will be enthralled by it! Great job! Easily a 5 star read!!! I'm looking forward to reading more works by this author.
