Another enjoyable mystery in the Dewberry Farm series. It's Easter in Buttercup, and Lucy is getting ready for the Easter markets when a tornado rips through her farm, uprooting crops and a couple of her baby goats go missing. Whilst looking for them Lucy stumbles across the dead body of her elderly neighbour's carer, strangled with her own scarf.

Of course Lucy has to investigate, and soon finds herself being threatened to leave things alone. But of course Lucy doesn't listen and as the body count rises, she finds she could very well be next!

I do quite this series. It's full of wonderfully quirky characters, and though the books are light and easy to read, sometimes that's just what we need. The author still needs to get a proof reader, though I found the errors in this book weren't as annoying and numerous as in previous books. Still they are a lot of fun for lovers of cozy mysteries.annual-challenges mystery-crime60 s Mark Baker2,192 165

A sudden spring tornado finds Lucy scrambling to protect her property. When she goes to her elderly neighbor’s place, she finds Dottie alone with no idea where her home health aid is. This isn’t Eva, so the women are worried. It’s only after the storm has passed that they get an answer when Lucy finds Eva’s body. Even with the tornado having just passed, it is very clear that Eva was murdered. The tornado left behind destruction to Lucy’s crops, so she needs to replant, but she can’t help begin to investigate what happened to Eva. Will she uncover the truth?

Being a wind hating California native, this book hooked me from the opening tornado. That didn’t diminish a bit when the storm ended and Lucy found the body. The plot is strong and, while not a typical cozy formula, held my attention the entire time as I waited to see how Lucy could prove what she was pretty sure was happening and who the killer would turn out to be. It’s wonderful to spend time with these characters again, and I enjoyed getting to know some new ones, too. I suspect we’ll see more of some of them in future books; at least I hope so. I did catch a few annoying editing issues, but they can be easily fixed and don’t impact the story at all; in fact, they vanish as we get further into the book. There are seven recipes at the end, including natural dyes for eggs, perfect for Easter. This is a fast, fun read that will leave cozy fans anxious for their next trip to visit Lucy.

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. She's resilient and smart and even when life is beating her to a pulp she pulls through and keeps on going.

I her people, too. Folks from town and a cutie veterinarian boyfriend. She's got a good support system.

The mystery was pretty decent. The tornado hit and now there's been a murder. Followed up by some strange happenings with her elderly neighbor who's been railroaded into a nursing home and had her property sold. Lots of good elements to keep it curious. I did have it pretty figured out fairly early on but it was still fun watching it all unfold.

Overall, a good ride. Some rough weather, some crazy folks, some cute farm animals. It all kept me coming back for more. 2019 cozy-mystery farmer ...more4 s Anastasia1,756 86

Dyeing Season by Karen MacInerney is the 5th book in the Dewberry Farm Mystery series. Lucy Resnick helps her elderly neighbour Dottie when a tornado rips through their farms and in the aftermath find the body of her neighbour's carer. An enjoyable and interesting mystery. Lucy is a able and capable character, although I find it difficult to believe that she is unable to get much help from such an inept police department. Surely Rooster should have been fired long ago. Her grandmothers spirit seems to be more effective. Some delicious sounding recipes are included.cozy-mysteries-bingo-challenge4 s Nola Arganbright1,592 28

I have been reading different farm cozy mysteries this one and Hillary Avis and Ellen Riggs cozy mysteries set in farms. I really enjoy these books. My grandma Betty my mom mom was raised on a farm. She carried bushels of hay and buckets of produce up and down a steep hill when she was very young. But the do the way these book seriis make it that they love being Farmers. I recommend these books and Hilary Avis and Ellen Riggs books series too.3 s Meg602

Another good one! I really Lucy and the rest of the characters. Visiting her farm is always fun and I love reading about the different products she sells at the markets. The mystery was interesting and I loved seeing how all the different threads came together. Recipes were included at the end.bingo challenge3 s Lisa~Ilovemypug~ Currier1,907 69

Another favorite

The Dewberry farm series is fast becoming one of my favorites.
Lucy is a great character and I enjoy getting to know her in each book written by this author.
In Dyeing Season, someone is taking advantage of the elderly and when Lucy's neighbor gets taken in by the nefarious scheme, she refuses to back off until she finds the truth.
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next with Lucy.3 s Nicole645
