A New England organic farmer is out to catch a killer who's rotten to the core in this debut cozy mystery by the author of Murder Most Fowl.

When Cameron Flaherty takes over her great-uncle's farm in Westbury, Massachusetts, she's eager to get the place certified organic. Unfortunately, that means firing her handyman, Mike Montgomery, whose negative attitude doesn't cut the organic mustard. Thanks to an enthusiastic volunteer and a colorful group of subscribers, Cam's CSA is beginning to flourish—until murder threatens to spoil her success.

When Cam finds Mike's body in her barn, stabbed to death by a pitchfork, she knows his death is far from kosher. To clear her name, Cam will have to weed out suspects, dig up long-buried secrets, and catch a killer who's ready to reap another victim.

      Maxwell (Speaking of Murder under the pen name Tace Baker) brings her expertise as a former organic farmer to her absorbing first Local Foods mystery. Cam Flaherty, who has taken over her great-uncle’s organic farm in Millsbury, Mass., feels obliged to fire farmhand Mike Montgomery after he admits he was going to use pesticide on the beetles he was tired of handpicking off asparagus and potato leaves. That evening, Cam finds Mike lying dead, her pitchfork stuck in his throat. Suspected of the farmhand’s murder, Cam must contend with Mike’s angry mother and an unfriendly police detective. Lending support in her hunt for the real killer are her fellow organic farmers and childhood friend Ruth Dodge, who’s now a police officer. Issues involving immigrants and a local militia group add weight to a plot that builds to an exciting climax. Agent: John Talbot, Talbot Fortune Agency.
