Synopsis (Goodreads):
It's Halloween in Buttercup, Texas, and reporter-turned-farmer Lucy Resnick is up to her ears in more than goats and wayward cows. Not only has her well dried up, but it turns out the old house Lucy recently moved to the farm has a reputation for spooks... and they are disturbingly active. Then a Tarot card reading at a local mead winery foretells death... only to have exotic game ranch owner Bug Wharton turn up dead. Cause of death? Murder, by a fatal dose of bee venom. When the dimwitted sheriff fingers local witch and mead winery owner Selena Gutierrez, Lucy gets involved... and soon discovers that all kinds of things are brewing in Buttercup.

And some of them are deadly.
Thoughts on Deadly Brew: Okay. I'm back in Buttercup and things are taking a slightly deadly turn. As one would expect in a small town cozy. Fortunately for everyone (but especially whoever the sheriff has in his sights for the crime), Lucy is on the case and she's uncovering truths like...something that digs things up well.

In other words, this town would be sunk without this lady. Seriously, like half the town would be locked up for crimes they didn't commit. Maybe more.

This time around we have an odious man with an odious ranch as our victim. There are more than a few people who aren't mourning his loss and, well, that makes Lucy's unofficial job a little more difficult. Because when everyone wants someone dead, well, it's a lot of suspects.

A little case of murder, a small fire or two, some dangerous animals, a creature sighting, and Lucy doing her thing. *thumbs up*
