A Henny Penny Farmette Mystery

Meera Lester

After a career-ending injury sidelines former police officer Abigail Mackenzie, she finds a quieter calling tending chickens, cultivating heirloom vegetables, and keeping bees on her Bay Area farmette. That calm is shattered when she discovers a beloved pastry chef dead in his shop, and the apparent suicide ruling fails to satisfy the victim’s determined brother. Drawn back into investigative work, Abby follows a trail of secrets, rivalries, and hidden motives while balancing the demands of farm life and the risks of pursuing the truth. This charming cozy mystery blends small-town intrigue, culinary atmosphere, and a resourceful amateur sleuth with a law-enforcement past.
