Henny Penny Farmette

The third novel in the Henny Penny Farmette series is due out in September 2017

I’ve enjoyed working on my latest offering in the Henny Penny Farmette series of cozy mysteries–A Hive of Homicides. I’m at the stage where a few revisions have been requested, and I’ve complied.

This story has to be one of my favorites involving the sleuthing powers of ex-cop turned farmer Abigail Mackenzie and her coterie of friends in the small Northern California town of Las Flores.

In this book, Abby becomes embroiled in the mystery surrounding the death of the husband of her good friend and truffle maker Paola Varela. Paola is a young Argentine woman who is married to the heir of a local winery. The couple have just renewed their wedding vows after seven years of marriage. Locals must now move past this man’s reputation as a philanderer.

With as many twists and turns as a summer grapevine, the mystery strikes close to Abby’s heart when another murder occurs and signs point to Abby and Paola becoming the murderer’s next victims. Since this novel arcs the entire series, reading the first two novels before this one will give you a good basis for knowing Abby’s character and the small town her friends . . . and enemies populate.
