Angie Turner moves to Idaho to live in her grandmother's rural old farmhouse. She and her business partner, Felicia, are going to open a Farm-To-Table restaurant, The County Seat, in the nearby small town of River Vista. In fact, the restaurant is slated to open in a week when they hit a slight snag. The manager of the local farmer's market says he will not allow farmer's market vendors to sell to the restaurant. She meets with a local curmudgeon, Gerald Moss, who has a goat dairy and makes cheese. He agrees to sell his cheese to the restaurant. Angie feels a bit more optimistic about finding locally sourced foods after that initial success......until Old Man Moss is found murdered.
This book is a nice start to a new cozy series. I like the main characters. There are plenty of cute animals and a nice theme. The mystery moves at a nice steady pace. The Farm-to-Table theme doesn't overpower the mystery, but adds to the nice, cozy feel of the story. There were plenty of suspects and a couple twists to keep the suspense going, although I figured out who the murderer was pretty quickly...just not why. A nice beginning for a series! I will be reading more.
Lynn Cahoon also writes the Tourist Trap and Cat Latimer cozy mysteries.
