New on the Mystery Bookshelf during October 2016 …

Fatal Frost by Karen MacInerney, A Lucy Resnick, Dewberry Farm Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Thomas & Mercer

  

Lucy Resnick's nerves are as tight as a tea cozy. Her new goats, Hot Lips and Gidget, keep making a break for the town square, her truck is dying, and her boyfriend's gorgeous ex-wife is in town for the holidays. Worse, someone's digging holes on her land … and uprooting her peach orchard and dewberry patch in the process. Lucy needs additional holiday stress like she needs a blow to the head — which she receives one night, courtesy of the mystery digger.

When the dim-witted sheriff arrests one of Lucy's best friends, the former reporter puts her own problems on the back burner and starts investigating. What she finds is a patchwork of clues — an injured puppy, a sapphire necklace gone missing, and a string of poison-pen letters — that draws her deep into a web of small-town secrets.

Word travels fast in Buttercup. When the killer learns Lucy's on the trail, Lucy finds she needs more than her reporting skills to save her friend — she needs a Christmas miracle.
