Shiloh Bellamy cashed in her big city job and 401K to return home to Michigan to save the family farm, but turning Bellamy Farms into a sustainable, organic operation is no small feat. Especially when her new investor is found dead at the farmers market not long after the contract is signed, a contract that the whole town knows her father was wholeheartedly against.
Now, Shiloh must clear her family's name and track down the real killer before her farm dreams wilt before her very eyes. But with her father trying to stop any progress on his land, her cousin belittling her every effort, and the whole town believing her family at fault, Shiloh has to carry the investigation on her shoulders or risk all her dreams drying up before they begin.
An interesting story, but a bit rambling in places (err much like some of the plants on the farm!), we have Shiloh arriving back in town and on her farm after 15 years in Hollywood (15 successful years it must be said), she had always planned to come back but when her father asks if she can she steps up the timetable, finds out her father owns massive amounts of back taxes (she had covered mortgage payments) and so she has sold her apartment, cashed in whatever she can and paid that off. The problem is she needs seed money (literally) to get the Bellamy Farm back up and running ... and the only person willing to invest is someone her father hates with a vengeance, even so Shiloh doesn't expect to find him dead at the market, for herself and her father to be accused of killing him, and to find she is being shunned by her cousin and some old friends (not all of them thank heavens).
Now to keep her Dad from dying in jail, her family farm in ... well the family, and her own reputation out of the mud, she is going to have to harness all the police procedural programmes she has ever produced and find a killer.
