Bitter Harvest | Wendy Tyson
5 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
"Tyson's first-rate second Greenhouse mystery stars big-city lawyer turned small-town organic farmer Megan Sawyer, a kind, intelligent, and spirited woman with great integrity. In short, she's the sort of person cozy readers warm to and root for...Tyson populates the cast with a smug-but-attractive PR consultant, a temperamental-but-gifted chef, a shrewd and sexy Scottish vet, and assorted townspeople, whose motives are complex and believable. It's a pleasure to spend time in their company." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Megan Sawyer should be shouting from the barn roof. Washington Acres survived its first year, the cafE has become a hotspot for locals, and Winsome's sexy Scottish veterinarian is making house calls--only not for the animals. But as summer slips into fall and Winsome prepares for its grand Oktoberfest celebration, beer isn't the only thing brewing. When the town's pub owner is killed in a freak accident, Megan suspects something sinister is afoot in Winsome--but no one is listening. As nights grow longer and temperatures chill, Megan must plow through Winsome's fixation with autumn festivities to harvest the truth--before another dead body marks the season. "Bitter Harvest is a delightful read. It has everything you could want in a mystery--a spunky heroine with a charming love interest, quirky characters, a setting you desperately want to visit, and a plot that keeps you guessing!" - Amanda Lee, Author of Better Off Thread "An exceptional cozy, Bitter Harvest offers up a veritable feast for mystery fans: a beautifully drawn setting, engaging characters, and plenty of twists and turns that will keep readers guessing. The suspense deepens with every scene...Tyson has crafted a fresh, intelligent, compelling story that's sure to satisfy." - Cynthia Kuhn, Author of The Art of Vanishing "A perfectly-crafted smorgasbord of suspense, family drama and small-town intrigue." - Liz Mugavero, Agatha-Nominated Author of Custom Baked Murder Related subjects include: women sleuths, cozy mysteries, culinary mysteries, amateur sleuth books, murder mysteries, whodunit mysteries (whodunnit), book club recommendations.

I'm not sure why but this line cracked me up. Surprisingly complex #cozymystery series about a lawyer who returns home to the farm she grew up on and takes up organic farming.

I have to say, my face reflects my general feeling about what I've read lately. Everything is just kind of meh. It's okay, but nothing holds my interest or makes me hate to put it down.

Ellebeekay I'm in the same boat right now! Need s really good book! 7y
LauraBrook I think the mehs are going around, unfortunately! Maybe a reread of an old favorite would help? 7y
JennaCzInWI Agreed, @Ellebeekay ! So frustrating! 7y
JennaCzInWI @LauraBrook - Maybe I need to go back to the beginning of Outlander! ❤️ 7y
LauraBrook @JennaCzInWI Hahahaha! If you do, and you pass me in my first reading I'll have to kill myself. 😉😉😂 7y

I desperately *needed* a poke bowl tonight.😋This one is comprised of ahi poke--from the grocery store poke bar & drizzled with a bit of my spicy garlic mayo sauce, stir-fried sesame asparagus, & white rice with furikake (sweet-salty sesame-seaweed) seasoning mix. It feels like a foodie cozy mystery night--this is the second book in a series about a family farm/cafe & larder. A relaxing Saturday evening. #litsycooks 🍴🍚🐟#bookanddinner

Texreader Ok this gal wants to know. What's a poke bowl? 8y
LeahBergen Yum. I want a poke bowl!! 8y
DebinHawaii @Texreader Poke (po-keh) is a Hawaiian dish of cubed raw fish, often ahi, with different seasonings & combinations of ingredients & a poke bowl is poke usually with rice like deconstructed sushi but sometimes with other grains and veggies & things in a bowl. Here they are a staple but they are becoming pretty trendy in cities & places outside of Hawaii now. Really yummy. 👍😋 8y

It's #internationalwomensday & as a freelancer I still need to work but I'm at my usually family-owned coffeeshop-owned, run & staffed by some very strong & wonderful women, wearing red & working on a project for a women-owned business. Breakfast was over a few chapters of a cozy mystery by a female author & now listening to feminist essays & humor on audio while working. It's a little bit at least. Much love & support to all the amazing women.❤️

KDo27 This toast gets me ever time. 8y
