Although Cora Mae Bingham planned a peaceful summer of self-improvement while ensuring all the sidewalks in Spicetown were in tip top shape, the new farmers market presented special challenges that required her attention.
With a body uncovered in Red River, identity theft reported in Paxton, and mysterious guests breaking into empty houses for sale in Spicetown, Cora has to keep both eyes on the suspicious activity surrounding the new market management.
Love this series. Amanda and Bryon belong together and really so does the mayor and chief. Hmmm maybe in the next book. Keep writing Ms Richey I love your books
A rich story plot with tons of information woven throughout.
Identity thefts, money thefts, and phone scams have become a regular threat to all. This clever novel not only takes us inside the lives of Spicetown families, but, gives the reader insightful tips to ward off these cyber-modern day crimes!
A great read. Characters are lifelike and relatable. Food markets are plentiful. Well done!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Cora Mae has started walking every morning, and she's starting to eat more at home. She's decided to care of herself better than she has been doing since her last doctor's appointment had some concerns.
There's the new farmer's market as well, it has a new manager since Sonjay Wilson who initially set it up to show and sell his paintings is now on a gallery tour with his work. A big break for him.
Conrad called Cora to ask if she'd like to go to Red River with him. They have an unidentified body that may be someone from Spicetown and between the two of them they know just about everyone. I love the conversations between these two, they really cover just about everything.
Cora and Conrad didn't recognize the victim and Dan the Chief has to call in the new sheriff.
There is also talk about the many scams out there. So many phone ones and a few that aren't. Cora thinks the paper should do an article pointing out what to look out for.
The farmers market comes into play here when the manager Bruce Turley continues to put flyers and pamphlets on the vendors tables. These are a variety of different things. He also is doing a raffle basket and asks the vendors if they want to go in on the Pennsylvania lottery with them. He picks up a bunch of tickets depending on how many people go in on it.
I have to say I saw red flags everywhere when I was reading. Some were right others wrong, but nonetheless interesting in the resulting investigations.
Once again I couldn't put the book down, and have started the next one.
