Seeds of Revenge

A holiday whodunit from the author of Bitter Harvest set in "a quaint, picturesque snow globe of a town . . . a page-turning, gritty-cozy tale" (Annette Dashofy, USA Today-bestselling author).

Megan Sawyer is determined to farm year-round. So much so that she braves a December snowstorm to pitch her fresh greenhouse greens to Philadelphia chefs. And then she sees a stranger stranded on the side of the road.

But this woman is no stranger to Winsome. It's Becca Fox-a love chemist. She's headed to her aunt's house to sell her love potions at holiday events. Or so Becca thinks. Her sneaky aunt only invited Becca home to reunite her with her estranged father. It sounds noble and kind-hearted, until the man ends up dead.

Megan's own aunt, the famous mystery author, is dragged into the drama. Her novels implicate her and she's in trouble. Now that it's personal, Megan must follow a cryptic trail of literary clues, all while sifting through the victim's sordid past. She gets closer to the truth as the murderer gets closer to her. . . .
