Dyeing Season by Karen MacInerneyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Spring has arrived in the little town of Buttercup, Texas and once again a killer is loose. Buttercup is the home of novice farm girl Lucy Resnick who is struggling to maintain her grandmother's farm. The town is in the throes of Easter season when a spring thunderstorm produces a tornado in the quiet Texas community. Lucy and her friend Quinn rush next door to check on her neighbor, Dottie, who is an elderly housebound senior. The group weathers the storm but missing from the area is Dottie's home health worker Eva and Lucy's new baby goat, Cinnamon. As Lucy ventures out to survey the damage and search for Cinnamon, she discovers a body whose demise was far from weather-related, but points to murder.
Lucy, who is a former investigative reporter, goes in search of the killer and motive behind the murder and uncovers a fraudulent scam aimed at the local senior citizens of the community. Can Lucy put the pieces of the scam together before she meets her own demise?
I thoroughly enjoy all of Karen MacInerney's cozy mystery series. I especially enjoy her Dewberry Farm Mysteries for the Texas references and setting. I am looking forward to furthering adventures of Lucy in Buttercup, Texas.
