Crafts and Life

When Megan Sawyer gives up her big-city law career to care for her grandmother and run the family’s organic farm and café, she expects to find peace and tranquility in her scenic hometown of Winsome, Pennsylvania. Instead, her goat goes missing, rain muddies her fields, the town denies her business permits, and her family’s Colonial-era farm sucks up the remains of her savings.

Just when she thinks she’s reached the bottom of the rain barrel, Megan and the town’s hunky veterinarian discover the local zoning commissioner’s battered body in her barn.  Now Megan is thrust into the middle of a murder investigation—and she’s the chief suspect. Can Megan dig through small-town secrets, local politics, and old grievances in time to find a killer before that killer strikes again?

A fun start to a new series – Megan has given up the pressured life of a lawyer to run the family farm after the death of her Grandfather, they want to also open a cafe in a place they own in the town but the local Commissioner seems to be throwing problem after problem in the way, then Megan and the local vet Denver find his dead body in the farm's barn.  One problem is over but the rest are just beginning and Megan needs to pull her legal training back to the fore in order to sift the truth from the lies.
