Farm Fresh Murder (A Farmers' Market Mystery) by Paige Shelton


Farm Fresh Murder (2010) is the first in a delicious mystery series and if you like a combination of cosy and crime, then read this delightful book.  It comes with mouth-watering recipes you can make at home too!

Paperback:  Becca Robins leads a simple life, making jams and preserves on her very own farm.

But when there's a murder in her quaint little town, she goes from making jam to being in one.

Becca is late for her stall time at Bailey's Farmers' Market.  By the time she arrives, the normally lush and lively market has turned into a crime scene, with a murdered peach vendor as the featured item of the day.

Cranky old Abner Justen sells wildflowers and is like a father to Becca.  It seems he's also the number one suspect, seen arguing with the victim just days before.

As Becca seeks the truth, she comes to realize that life in the friendly farmers' market is filled with bushels of secrets and deceits.  To preserve her own life, she'll have to sniff out the murderer before he spoils the market for everyone.

About the author:  Paige Shelton spent lots of years in advertising but now writes novels full time.  She lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, with her husband, son and the cutest dog in the world.  When she's up early enough, one of her favourite things is to watch the sun rise over the Wasatch Mountains.  Check out her website for more updates.

Fruit of All Evil (2011)
Crops and Robbers (2011)

plus an e-book, Red Hot Deadly Peppers (2012, mini mystery).
