Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on a recent release. A Murder for the Sages by Amy Lillard is the third book in the Sunflower Cafe Mystery series and was released last week.
Blurb:
The unusual death of local herb farmer, Ginger Reed, is the talk
of Yoder. Naturally, Sissy is intrigued. The official report classifies
Ginger’s demise as an accident, concluding that she ran herself over
with a tractor. But Sissy’s cousin, Naomi, a friend and longtime
employee of Ginger’s, insists that’s impossible. When she asks for
Sissy’s help in unearthing the truth, Sissy’s on the case—accompanied as
ever by her loyal Yorkie companion, Duke . . .
The deeper
Sissy digs, the longer the list of suspects grows—and none of them are
Ginger. Near the top is Ginger’s resentful sister-in-law, Mallory. Next
is Naomi’s brother, Lloyd, who’s bitter about the oil derrick presumably
pumping black gold from Ginger’s land—land that once belonged to his
family. Naomi herself could be a suspect—it’s her tractor, after all.
But the investigation stalls when Naomi makes a shocking turnaround in
her story. Is she lying? And if so, why? Then a missing dog, a desperate
lawyer, and a teenage con artist are added to the mix, and the puzzle
becomes hopelessly complicated. If Sissy doesn’t solve it quickly,
she’ll be lost in the weeds as a killer reaps a deadly harvest . . .
