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. With a twisty historical mystery, easy, delicious honey-themed recipes and beeswax projects you can make at home, and a cast of fun characters--both animal and human--you'll love this new visit to Buttercup!
Phew Karen MacInerney has done it again! Things seem to have settled down in Buttercup, the only problem Lucy has is a couple of her new hives don't seem to be thriving. One of the local meadery owners has come (along with the Meadery's intern) to see if she can solve the problem, the diagnosis is good (a couple of new Queen Bees are needed) but after Serafine and Chloe have left Lucy discovers a Voodoo doll, made out of beeswax, nailed to a fence post and her cows and goats let loose and in her crops and orchard! Lucy cannot believe that Serafine would do either deed, but she and her sister Aimee are the only followers of Voodoo in the area. As if that isn't bad enough the next day/evening Lucy overhears a couple of arguments, both involving one person (Priscilla Jordan), and then Lucy and her friend Quinn find Priscilla dead in a new addition to the living history museum. When the somewhat inept police chief arrests Serafine for the murder Lucy needs to step up and find out the truth - after all there are plenty of other suspects that the police aren't even looking at!
