A review by exurbanis
A Tine to Live, A Tine to Die by Edith Maxwell
3.0
Cameron Flaherty, downsized from her corporate job, has moved from the city to take over her inheritance: her great uncle’s farm in rural Massachusetts. There, she sets up a Community Supported Agriculture project. In this first of a planned series of “local food mysteries”, a killer strikes on Cameron’s property just in time for her customers’ first produce pick-up.
I found the characters typical for a cozy mystery, but the murderer in this story was so obvious that I discarded him as a suspect.
While the mystery was less than stellar, I did very much enjoy the premise of the series: leaving the city, and going back to the land. After all, that’s what Exurbanis is supposed to be about!
Read this if: you’d like a look at how a (albeit idealistic) Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is run. 3 stars
