Crafts and Life

Down South Cafe owner, Amy Flowers is in over her head. Operating a cafe while hosting the first Farmers' Market in Winter Garden has her swimming in apples. And when an elderly woman calls the cafe, pleading for a delivery for her upcoming party, Amy relents, feeling compelled to help the desperate customer.

But when she arrives, the woman is slumped over her kitchen table, and Amy is catapulted into the middle of a small-town crime. Guilt-ridden for not arriving earlier to save the woman, she sets out to unravel the mystery surrounding her death. Now, between running the cafe and dealing with the chaos of the farmers' market, Amy is squeezing in a murder investigation, a run-in with her boyfriend's mom, and her own mother's quirky life decisions. Life can't get any worse…or can it? This cafe owner needs a break–in the case.

Gayle Leeson has crafted another tale of misdirection and murder!

Amy Flowers has agreed to run a Farmers' Market on her parking area for a few weeks (well Saturdays at any rate!), this means the parking lot is full, her cafe is swamped and she and her staff are shattered! In the midst of this she takes a phone call from a frantic elderly lady who needs some food for a small gathering the next day, against her better judgement Amy agrees to this (meaning less time to get ready for a meal with her boyfriend Ryan and his mother), but when she and Jackie arrive at the house there is no answer, they go to the back of the house only the find the owner slumped over the kitchen table!  Mrs Pridemore luckily was alive when they arrived but unfortunately she died later that day in hospital.  The problem is she turns out not to have had a stroke or heart attack and now Amy is going against every one else to try and find out the truth.
