FARM TO TROUBLE
Shiloh Bellamy cashed in her big city job and 401K to return home to Michigan to save the family farm, but turning Bellamy Farms into a sustainable, organic operation is no small feat. Especially when her new investor is found dead at the farmers market not long after the contract is signed, a contract that the whole town knows her father was wholeheartedly against.
Now, Shiloh must clear her family's name and track down the real killer before her farm dreams wilt before her very eyes. But with her father trying to stop any progress on his land, her cousin belittling her every effort, and the whole town believing her family at fault, Shiloh has to carry the investigation on her shoulders or risk all her dreams drying up before they begin.
My Review:
Hooray! A new cozy mystery series by Amanda Flower and I love the family farm setting -- cue the clever title because this author has some of the funnest tongue-in-cheek punny titles ever!
This wouldn't be a classic Flower without a critter or two -- like a citified pampered pug named Huckleberry who is having a hard time adjusting to country life. :-) Shiloh, on the other hand, is glad to be home...until murder and mayhem mar her return.
Who knew that moving away for fifteen years would make her public enemy #1 in town, not to mention a suspect in a murder investigation?! If that's not enough to stress over, the rundown family farm piles on more angst. A great community of secondary characters (some to love and others of the love-to-hate variety) add to the overall cozy ambiance. All in all, a fantastic start to the Farm to Table series.

Love a good cozy mystery series and this one starts out great. Good luck, Marjorie.
DeleteOh, an organic farm sounds interesting, plus the critters! Was just listening earlier to the organic gardening radio show. If this compares at all to her candy shop mysteries, it will be excellent. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the family farm angle and it addresses how corporate farms have really threatened their livelihood. I'm excited to see how the farm blossoms over the series. Good luck, CC!
DeleteThis book sounds intriguing. I read a book by this author years ago. It's fun to see she is still writing. Thanks for sharing this new series!
ReplyDeleteShe's a powerhouse author, juggling multiple series at the same time. I don't know how she does it. Good luck, Nora!
DeleteLove those cozies!

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Lucy. Good luck!
DeleteI've really started enjoying mysteries - cozy and historical. I'm getting in on this one since it's the first in a series. It can be daunting sometimes when 1-15 are already published. Lol.

I hear ya -- that's why I like listening to cozies. I find it easier to catch up with a series. I've been doing a lot of that and I have to say it's kind of a downer now when I'm in at the beginning and have to wait for each subsequent book in the series to be published. lol Good luck, Terrill!
DeleteYes, that's an issue, too. Once I've caught up, no more instantly going into the next one.
DeleteLove Amanda's books! Thank you for the chance to win a copy.
