This is a first in a new series and I know readers will love the way the story flows and how caught up you can get with the town and its people.

Moving to a new neighborhood can be murder!
From the moment Anne meets her new neighbors, things get very interesting.
~Laura’s Interests
This was a solid mystery with a likable and slightly older than usual main character and a fun new setting. This is a book I really enjoyed and a series I’m looking forward to continuing.
~I Wish I Lived In a Library
The writing style flows smoothly and the book is an easy read. The author defined all of the characters very clearly by their actions and words. I was drawn into the book from the very beginning and I was pulled along at a nice pace.
~MJB Reviewers
I enjoyed the backyard farming theme of Chicken Culprit. It makes me wish I could try my hand at it if I had the space.
~Jane Reads
Walton’s smooth and casual writing style really makes you feel a part of this community.
~That’s What She’s Reading
The mystery is a tough one. I usually spot a few breadcrumbs but didn’t catch one this time. When the author finally reveals what happened, I was caught completely by surprise. Never saw it coming.

The main character was well developed, relatable, and likable. She kind of reminded me of myself as I too am facing middle age.
