Dyeing Season by Karen MacInerney
4.0
It was a beautiful morning in Buttercup, Texas.
This is the fifth book in the Dewberry Farm series and they get better with each book. The beautiful morning suddenly turns into a tornado. Quinn is helping Lucy cover her tender plants when the funnel cloud approaches. They go to the nearest farm to check on an elderly woman and her caretaker. The caretaker is missing so Lucy and Quinn get Dottie into the root cellar. Lucy is missing two of Carrot's kids after the twister. During the search she finds the caretaker, Eva in the creek.
There is a lot going on in this installment. The initial murder gets twisted around into strange happenings at a Senior Care Center and with real estate holdings. There is also a vandal painting barns and releasing penned animals.
I love the life that Lucy is living on Dewberry Farm. I can close my eyes and envision the farm house and the land. I think perhaps it resonates with me because I would love to have a farm with sheep, goats, alpacas or llamas, donkeys and pigs. I'm not so keen on cows. I love the little tips that Lucy gives about growing and harvesting plants. Her handcrafts make me want to go to Buttercup. The information about dyeing with nature sources is great! I always love the recipes in the book. I'm not much for tequila but I just may have to try the dewberry margaritas.
Sweet little Chuck is still struggling with his diet much to Tobias' concern. I love all of the animals. I was so sad when Carrot was frantic about her lost kids.
I began to suspect several people as the story progressed. I knew that the mention of Lucy's truck was going to play into the final showdown with the killer.
[a:Karen MacInerney|94892|Karen MacInerney|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1339976019p2/94892.jpg] has created a wonderful series that keeps me engaged. I read this one in one sitting while I was drinking my coffee Sunday morning.
I highly recommend this series!
