Seeds of Revenge: A Greenhouse Mystery

At the start of Tyson’s enticing third Greenhouse mystery (after Bitter Harvest), organic farmer Megan Sawyer picks up a stranded motorist, Becca Fox, during a snowstorm. Becca was on her way to Winsome, Pa., to start a business selling perfumes and potions. Megan delivers the young woman to her aunt’s house, where Becca confronts her estranged father, Paul Fox. Becca claims that her father murdered her mother, though the death was ruled an accident and no one took her accusation seriously. But, when Paul is poisoned, ex-chemist Becca becomes the prime suspect. The manner of Paul’s death, as well as series of attacks in town by a shadowy figure in black, all bear a frightening similarity to the murders described in books written by Megan’s great-aunt, mystery novelist Sarah Birch. Determined to find the truth, Megan discovers that past connections run deep and no one is who they seem. Complex characters, interesting twists, and a charming setting add up to a satisfying mystery. [em](Nov.) [/em]
