Isn't that fun?
The
produce is local - and so is the crime - when long-simmering tensions
lead to murder following a festive dinner on Cam Flaherty's farm.
It'll take a sleuth who knows the lay of the land to catch this
killer. But no one ever said Cam wasn't willing to get her hands
dirty...
Autumn
has descended on Westbury, Massachusetts, but the mood at the
Farm-to-Table Dinner in Cam's newly built barn is unseasonably
chilly. Local entrepreneur Irene Burr made a lot of enemies with her
plan to buy Westbury's Old Town Hall and replace it with a textile
museum - enough enemies to fill out a list of suspects when the wealthy
widow turns up dead on a neighboring farm.
Even
an amateur detective like Cam can figure out that one of the resident
locavores went loco - at least temporarily - and settled a score with
Irene. But which one? With the fall harvest upon her, Cam must sift
through a bushelful of possible killers that includes Irene's
estranged stepson, her disgruntled auto mechanic, and a fellow CSA
subscriber who seems suspiciously happy to have the dead woman out of
the way.
The closer she gets to weeding out the culprit, the more Cam feels like someone is out to cut her harvest short. But to keep her own body out of the compost pile, she'll have to wrap this case up quickly.
