When Houston reporter Lucy Resnick cashes in her retirement to buy her grandmother's farm in Buttercup, Texas, she's looking forward to a simple life as a homesteader. But Lucy has barely finished putting up her first batch of Killer Dewberry Jam when an oil exploration truck rolls up to the farm and announces plans to replace her broccoli patch with an oil derrick. Two days later, Nettie Kocurek, the woman who ordered the drilling, turns up dead at the Founders' Day Festival with a bratwurst skewer through her heart and one of Lucy's jam jars beside her...and the sheriff fingers Lucy as the prime suspect. Horrified, Lucy begins to talk to Nettie's neighbors, but the more she gets to know the townspeople, the more she realizes she's not the only one who had a beef with Nettie. Can she clear her name, or will her dream life turn into a nightmare?… (altro)

Very good. I love the setting of small town and farming community that enhanced the plot. Characters were relatable. This is a fast paced mystery with several suspects and twists. I will be reading the next book in the series soon. (

I really enjoyed this book but noticed a few problems with the plot. One major one was that this novel felt as though it dragged on far too long. There was also the fact that the main character often mentioned her distaste of guns, but she lives in the country in Texas. I found that extremely annoying that the author felt the need to mention this so often. Other than that, I enjoyed learning about the characters and the mystery itself. I enjoyed the ending even though I had expected it. (

I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way. Unfortunately, there is still always a risk of slight spoilers despite my best efforts. If you feel something in my review is a spoiler please let me know. Thank you.

Lucy just bought a farm and is slowly learning the ropes when the mean old lady who sold her the farm ends up murdered, Lucy is the main suspect due to her farm possibly being temporarily destroyed over mineral rights. But there are plenty of people in the town of Buttercup that would have wanted Nettie Kocurek dead. Only the sheriff isn't looking into anyone else but her. So it's up to Lucy to find the real murderer before the sheriff arrests her.

I couldn't decide between 3 or 3.5 stars so I just went with 3. It took me a bit to get into but in the end, it was a sweet book despite the murders. There was a hint of upcoming romance. There are also a few recipes at the end too which I liked. I might continue with this series. It's available to read AND listen to on KU which is my favorite part of the book. (

Fairly cozy mystery on a farm. Enjoyable but nothing stood out as spectacular. (

Probably the definition of a nice, gentle read. There was enough mystery to keep the story engaging and the town setting had me reminiscing on fond memories of my childhood. This definitely nailed the small-town feel.

Make no mistake about it though, this was a simple story. This is not my typical read but I enjoyed the break from what I normally turn to. (
