Synopsis (Goodreads):
The eggs aren't the only things dyeing in Buttercup...Thoughts on Dyeing Season: Ahh, the (sometimes) unpredictable life of a homesteader. A freak tornado might have destroyed some of Lucy's crops and separated two of her kids from the herd, but the lady is resilient. She rolls up her sleeves, gets back to planting, and spends her spare time looking for the two little goats.
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?
That said, the tornado aftermath isn't the only thing Lucy's dealing with. Stumbling over a dead body while out searching for her baby goats puts another thing on her plate. After all, given the sheriff's track record with taking the path of least resistance when it comes to accusing people of crimes, she needs to look into it or the wrong person will likely be arrested. (Seriously, the sheriff is just grossly incompetent. So bad.)
While looking for who might have killed her neighbor's home care worker, Lucy uncovers a plot that screams elder abuse. Naturally, she follows the clues to unravel what's going on and protect her neighbors and others who are being taken advantage of.
I'm digging Lucy and her small town shenanigans. She might have a lot going on, but she's wicked good at multitasking and she goes after the truth with gusto. *thumbs up*
