Synopsis (Goodreads):
Fall into another sweet Dewberry Farm adventure! When Priscilla Jordan, a wealthy descendant of Buttercup's new living history museum's historic owner, turns up dead in one of the museum's cabins, the police finger local meadery owner Serafine Alexandre as the killer. There's bad blood in Priscilla's family--a disgruntled husband, a disinherited cousin, and a ne'er-do-well son--but the local police don't seem to care. Dewberry Farm homesteader Lucy Resnick's desperate to help her friend... but someone's warning her off the case.

When an intruder pins a threatening note to the farm's back door with a knife, Lucy knows she's getting close to the the truth... and if she doesn't figure it out fast, she may be next on the chopping block.
Thoughts on Sweet Revenge: We're back in Buttercup and Lucy is stepping in to do her thing. Which means, of course, there's a dead body. Because no trip to Buttercup would be complete without at least one person ending up dead. (That sounds sort of sarcastic when I read it to myself, but I'm serious. I mean, I read these books for Lucy's perseverance in finding out who did the crime. If there wasn't a crime, things would be a little boring, right?)

Anywho. A wealthy woman with more than a few enemies ends up in a bad way. Or, if not enemies, at least people who had reason to not be sad she was dead. Which makes things a little sticky for Lucy since it leaves a wide list of suspects to sort through.

But Lucy is dogged and she follows the clues until she figures out who did the deed. She also puts herself in a pretty dangerous situation to figure said things out. Something which doesn't thrill Tobias, I'm sure.

A little danger, an entitled woman, a slew of suspects, and some interesting discoveries. *thumbs up*
