Strawberries And Crime

Více o knize

In Elle B. White's engaging second Finn Family Farm mystery, farmer Charlotte Finn and her sleuthing baby pig find themselves amidst strawberries and crime. Things are finally looking up at the Finn Family Farm, where Charlotte, aided by caretakers Joe and Alice Wong and farmer Samuel Brown, is settling in. However, trouble brews as a blight threatens the berry plants, and a mysterious death rocks Little Acorn. The victim, Linc Pierce, the only local farmer with a successful strawberry crop, is discovered hanging from a rafter, initially deemed a suicide. But the discovery of a half-eaten sandwich raises questions—who eats before taking their own life? Chief Goodacre suspects foul play and zeroes in on Beau, who had a heated exchange with Linc earlier. Meanwhile, tensions rise among the farmers, recalling Linc's claims of sabotage. As Charlotte investigates to clear Beau's name, she uncovers a clue on Linc's workbench that could explain both the survival of his strawberry plants and the reason for his demise. With the clock ticking, Charlotte and her insatiably curious pig, Horse, must solve the mystery before they, too, become victims.
