It's been a hot, dry spring in Westbury, Massachusetts. As organic farmer Cam Flaherty waits for much-needed rain, storm clouds of murder begin to gather. Once again, it's time to put away her sun hat and put on her sleuthing cap, because while showers may be scarce in this fifth Local Foods Mystery, there's no shortage of suspects! May has been anything but merry for Cam so far. Her parents have arrived unexpectedly and her crops are in danger. But all of that is nothing compared to the grim murder of her new neighbor, Nicole Kingsbury, the once proud owner of the town's new hydroponic greenhouse--just after Cam's mother publicly protested Nicole's use of chemicals to feed her crops. Now suspects are sprouting up, including the dead woman's embittered ex husband, the Other Man whose affair ruined their marriage, and Cam's own mother. Lucky for Cam, her father turns out to have a knack for sleuthing--not to mention dealing with chickens. He and Cam will have to clear Mrs. Flaherty's name quick before the killer strikes again...
