Synopsis
When Megan Sawyer gives up her big-city law career to care for her grandmother and run the family’s organic farm and café, she expects to find peace and tranquility in her scenic hometown of Winsome, Pennsylvania. Instead, her goat goes missing, rain muddies her fields, the town denies her business permits, and her family’s Colonial-era farm sucks up the remains of her savings.
Just when she thinks she’s reached the bottom of the rain barrel, Megan and the town’s hunky veterinarian discover the local zoning commissioner’s battered body in her barn. Now Megan is thrust into the middle of a murder investigation—and she’s the chief suspect. Can Megan dig through small-town secrets, local politics, and old grievances in time to find a killer before that killer strikes again?

Review
A fun new cozy series – especially since it centers around food. I love the idea of farming or having a garden but don’t think you’ll find me doing that.
There are a lot of interesting characters to round out the story, with several back stories on different characters that I think we will see more of in the future.
Regarding the mystery…I didn’t figure out who the “bad guys” were until revealed. I wanted to throw a few of the characters to the wolves and wanted them to be culprit but no such luck. maybe in a future book!
There is a little of a love story between Megan and the local vet and I can’t wait to see how that story continues in future books.
We give this 4 paws up!
