Dyeing Season

It's springtime on Dewberry Farm, and homesteader Lucy Resnick is busy putting together her wares for the Easter Market. She's just finished potting the last of her herb starts when a tornado rips through her farm, destroying her crops, scattering her livestock and tearing up the barn.  As Lucy searches for two kids lost in the storm, she makes a grisly discovery: her neighbor's home health aide, Eva, strangled with a hand-knitted scarf.

While investigating the young woman's death, Lucy discovers that blood isn't always thicker than water… and that somebody may be taking advantage of the town's more vulnerable citizens.  When a second body turns up, drowned in a vat of dye, the whole town is walking on eggshells.  Will Lucy find the killer in time?

Or has dyeing season just begun? 

It is always great to get back to the happenings at Dewberry Farm and this book is no exception to that, another excellent story,

This time Lucy is just about ready for Easter when a tornado rips through her farm, luckily she and her friend Quinn managed to shelter at Lucy's neighbour Dottie's house (she has a cellar), but all three are worried about Dottie's home help Eva who hadn't made it back before the storm hit. After the storm Quinn stays with Dottie whilst Lucy goes to check on her own farm, where she discovers that the tornado has wiped out her crops and damaged her stock barn, leading to two goat kids going missing. She and her boyfriend Tobias (the local vet) go looking for them, Lucy finds one, but she also finds Eva, dead in the water!  When Eva's death is deemed a homicide Lucy starts to nose around and everything seems to lead back to The Sunset Home where Dottie has been "dumped" by her son so he can cash in on her property.  Now with looking into this, discovering there are animal activists around and trying to re-coup her tornado losses Lucy has more on her plate than just goat's cheese!
