Dog trainer Bea Whitman's French Bulldog Max has solved more crimes than he's learned actual commands -- which isn't saying much, but it's still impressive.

When beloved farmers market coordinator Rosalind Fletcher drops dead after sampling Pete's pesto, Bea's peaceful Saturday shopping turns into a murder investigation. The cyanide in the basil confirms this wasn't an unfortunate case of food poisoning, and suddenly everyone at the Palm Harbor Farmers Market looks suspicious.

There's Pete, whose hands shake so badly he can barely hold his own herb bundles. Mac, the cantankerous farmer who's convinced the world is conspiring against organic produce. Stella, the soap vendor whose business practices are murkier than her homemade lye. And dear Mrs. Henderson, whose honey is so consistently perfect it defies the laws of beekeeping.

While Detective Martinez interrogates vendors, Max conducts his own investigation -- which involves sniffing everything, eating whatever isn't nailed down, and somehow uncovering clues the humans missed. Between dodging a family of entrepreneurial raccoons and a food critic dressed like Sherlock Holmes, Bea must solve the case before the killer strikes again.

Can Bea catch a murderer while keeping Max from contaminating evidence with drool? One thing's certain -- this farmers market will never be the same.

Perfect for fans of small-town cozy mysteries, four-legged detectives, and organic murder mayhem.
