Synopsis (Goodreads):
Crisp autumn breezes, sizzling bratwurst, warm gingerbread cookies... and just a dash of murder.

It's Oktoberfest in Buttercup, Texas, and homesteader Lucy Resnick is taking a break from her chores to enjoy a day of bratwurst, craft beer, and German gingerbread at Sweetwater Brewery. But the day takes a bitter turn when one of the brewery owners turns up dead, crushed by a giant sack of barley.

It doesn't take long for Sheriff Rooster (not the sharpest tool in the garden shed) to finger the victim's brother and co-owner, Simon Gustafson. But former investigative reporter Lucy senses that the blighted plants in her pumpkin patch aren't the only things rotten in Buttercup. Will she find the killer in time?

Or will she be next in line for canning?
Thoughts on Wicked Harvest: Okay. We're back in Buttercup with all the deadly shenanigans that are found here. Fortunately for the good (non-murdery) people in town, Lucy is around to investigate when things go south. Seriously, the lady has a knack for ferreting out the truth and following clues to figure out what really happened when things turn deadly.

This time around, we have a little case of murder at an Oktoberfest shindig. The victim has a somewhat shady past and more than a few people who weren't pleased with him. Meaning Lucy has her work cut out for her as she puts things together. Because when multiple people have a beef with a guy, there's a lot of upset to sort through.

Between fouled kegs, sabotage on the work-in-progress house restoration Lucy has going on, creepy brewery employees, old feuds, a psychic teen, and a lost kitten, Lucy ahs her plate full. Which doesn't slow her down in the least, but she is one BUSY lady. That said, she has friends and the townsfolk (plus one sexy vet) to help her when things get hairy.

I'm enjoying this series a lot. Bring on the next installment!
