Berried Truth

Bestselling and award-winning mystery author Ed Lynskey introduces a new cozy mystery series set in the small town of Cat's Paw, Virginia. Plucky and resourceful, Juno Patchen operates her family truck farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains and sells her produce at the weekly Farmers' Market. Her athletic cousin and godmother Fern McPhee and outspoken mother Rhoda McPhee help Juno while her seven-year-old son Chip pitches in whenever he can. The lurid murder of local resident Liz Kershaw throws everybody into a tizzy, none moreso than the befuddled Sheriff Goose Dixon who's also sweet on Juno. He persuades her to lend him a hand with investigating Liz's homicide. Juno's ex Holt Patchen, a struggling country music singer who frequently requests "loans" from her, further complicates her life. Told with verve and humor, BERRIED TRUTH offers readers a picturesque mountain setting, a vibrant cast of characters, and a satisfying whodunit.
