Overview
Seeds of Suspicion is the third book in the Mysteries of Blackberry Valley fiction series.
It's Blackberry Valley Festival time, and the whole town is gearing up for the chefs' cook-off and other exciting events. But right before the big weekend, Hannah Prentiss is disturbed to hear about prowlers roaming the grounds and items going missing from her friend Elaine Wilby's hundred-year-old-farm. The incidents seem to coincide with an article in the local paper about another festival, held ninety years ago, when the newly crowned Onion Queen disappeared without a trace.
Elaine believes someone might be after her family's special heirloom onion seeds. The uniquely flavored onion was grown on the farm decades ago but has long since disappeared.
Could the perpetrator have a connection to the long-lost seeds… and to the missing Onion Queen?
After years away, Hannah Prentiss finally returns home to the charming village of Blackberry Valley. She transforms a former firehouse into the Hot Spot—a warm and welcoming place for townsfolk and travelers alike to enjoy meals made with fresh ingredients from local Kentucky farms. But running a new restaurant, reconnecting with loved ones, and forging new friendships around every corner aren’t the only things Hannah is doing these days. When mysteries start cropping up, she finds that solving them is just as satisfying as fulfilling her culinary dreams!
