In her third outing, downsized banker Meg Corey is feeling almost at home in her new hometown. She's learning to be an apple farmer, dating a great guy, and working to restore her inherited farmhouse. When her best friend from Boston asks her to help a couple of young chefs find a building suitable for a restaurant, Meg agrees, never thinking she'd soon be facing a contentious town official, a time-consuming search, and a body found face down in a pig wallow.
Meg is a smart, savvy woman who's working hard to fit into her new community—just the kind of protagonist I look for in today's traditional mystery. I look forward to more trips to Granford, Massachusetts!

I truly enjoy this series. Sheila writes a strong protagonist. And I love the cover! Isn't it fun? Thanks for introducing others to it.

This is for Molly. I was just reading Julie Hyzy's blog about her tour, saw your dog was named Rags. I had to tell you that the Ragdoll cat in my new Cheese Shop series is named Rags (not imaginative for a Ragdoll) but the cutest name ever! -- next to Max, which is the name for my own little mutt.}

Before I bought my dog, I showed my husband a photo of a Lhasa Apso. His first comment was, "That looks just like a ragmop!" So, the name was set.
And I'm looking forward to your Cheese Shop series. I read that it was coming in inSinC.
Thank you for your kind words, Avery, uh, Daryl.
And Molly--how do you know Judy Schachner? I used to live a couple of houses down the street from her in Swarthmore (and when she was writing with Donna Jo Napoli, Donna lived a block further). Small world!
And I lived in Raleigh when I first married. Then Durham for a few months. Haven't been back in a while, though.
I've escorted Judy a couple of times when she was in North Carolina. She's a hoot!
And, yes, it's a small world that seems to get smaller as I age!
