Description

The eggs aren't the only things dyeing in Buttercup... It's springtime on Dewberry Farm, and homesteader Lucy Resnick is busy putting together her wares for the Easter Market. She's just finished potting the last of her herb starts when a tornado rips through her farm, destroying her crops, scattering her livestock and tearing up the barn. As Lucy searches for two kids lost in the storm, she makes a grisly discovery: her neighbor's home health aide, Eva, strangled with a hand-knitted scarf. While investigating the young woman's death, Lucy discovers that blood isn't always thicker than water... and that somebody may be taking advantage of the town's more vulnerable citizens. When a second body turns up, drowned in a vat of dye, the whole town is walking on eggshells. Will Lucy find the killer in time? Or has dyeing season just begun?

Oh I had fun with Dyeing Season. Exciting and a little nerve-wracking with a side of love these guys!The Gist: A Tornado has hit town and not only thrown life into chaos but provided cover for...a murder!Lucy is one tough chick. She's a semi-homesteader with a small farm she uses to support herself. Crops, a herd of critters, making foods/items to sell.
