Seeds of Revenge by Wendy Tyson

Seeds of Revenge (Greenhouse Mystery, #3)

by Wendy Tyson

It may be the season, but the mood in Winsome is anything but jolly. Megan Sawyer braves a December snowstorm to pitch her fresh greenhouse greens to Philadelphia chefs. And then she sees a stranger stranded on the side of the road. But this woman is no stranger to Winsome. It’s Becca Fox. A love chemist (you read that right). She’s headed to her aunt’s house to sell her love potions at holiday events. Or so Becca thinks. Her sneaky aunt only invited Becca home to reunite her with her estranged father. It sounds noble and kind-hearted, until the man ends up dead. Megan soon finds herself in the middle and the she gets closer to the truth as the murderer gets closer to her. How’s that for a ho ho ho?

I like this series.  It's cozy but it's not silly or shallow.  The characters are all likeable and realistic, the MC isn't TSTL, and the author doesn't fool with silly love triangles or an evil nemesis. The mysteries are usually well-plotted too, although this one was not Tyson's best effort; the murderer was so obvious I was getting exasperated.  She makes up for it in diabolical-ness though, and I loved the part Becca's aunt plays in the mystery.   This was a Christmastime book I almost missed in my TBR pile, although there's not a heap of Christmas spirit.  It is set in the midst of a very, very snowy winter though so it makes it perfect for my Winter Solstice/Yuletide square.
