Snow is piling up in Westbury, Massachusetts, and Cam Flaherty’s organic farm has managed to survive the harsh New England winter. Unfortunately murder seems to be the crop in season…Cam is finding the New Year just as hectic as the old one. Her sometimes rocky relationship with Chef Jake Ericsson is in a deep freeze, she’s struggling to provide the promised amount of food to the subscribers in her first winter CSA, and her new greenhouse might just collapse from the weight of the snow. Supplying fresh ingredients for a dinner at the local assisted living facility seems like the least of her worries—until one of the elderly residents dies after eating some of her produce.Cantankerous Bev Montgomery had a lot of enemies, from an unscrupulous real estate developer who coveted her land to an aggrieved care provider fed up with her verbal abuse. But while the motives in this case may be plentiful, the trail of poisoned produce leads straight back to Cam. Not even her budding romance with police detective Pete Pappas will keep him from investigating her. As the suspects gather, a blizzard buries the scene of the crime under a blanket of snow, leaving Cam stranded in the dark with a killer who gives new meaning to the phrase "dead of winter."

By Sally Schmidt Farmed and Dangerous, a Local Foods Mystery, is the third entry in a series just keeps getting better and better.Cam is delightful as she struggles with surviving her first winter of organic farming and supplying the community-supported agriculture program (CSA). She’s still a software geek at heart, but that expertise comes in pretty handy in running her farm and trying to solve the mystery she has been thrown into. She is becoming more comfortable with the CSA members – except Bev Montgomery, no one is comfortable with her! – and feels at home with the locals. There is also a hint (or maybe more than a hint) of romance for her. The recurring supporting characters continue to develop and make us care what happens to them.The winter scenes were so realistic I was cold just reading them. The organic farming information is fascinating as always, and Edith Maxwell sneaks those facts in in such a way that you don’t even realize you are learning.The recipes – try them! Every time I read a description of meal in the book I wanted to stop reading and try it. Delicious food.I received an ARC from the author but a review was not expected. This is a great series and I would recommend it. You can read Farmed and Dangerous as a stand-alone but even better, go back to the beginning and see how Cam began on the farm.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Farming, and Murder, Don’t Slow Down in Winter By Mark Baker - Carstairs Considers I’m a city boy, and I freely admit it. As a result, I think of winter as a down time for farming when nothing happens and farmers just eat the fruits and vegetables of their labors. That’s not the case for Cameron Flaherty in Farmed and Dangerous. Not only is she trying to grow some crops, but she finds herself involved in her third murder in less than a year.Cam is hoping to get a contract to supply vegetables to Moran Manor, the local assisted living facility where her great-uncle now lives. Even though it is the off season, she is providing vegetables and some recipes as a trial this January. If everything goes well, she will be able to provide more on a regular basis once the real growing season begins.However, the night her produce is served, the unthinkable happens – one of the residents dies. Worse yet, it is Bev Montgomery, who Cam has had several run ins with since taking over her great-uncle’s farn a year ago. When the whispers begin that Cam poisoned Bev, it interrupts her budding romance with detective Pete Pappas. In an attempt to clear her name and salvage her relationship, Cam begins to dig into the mystery. Can she clear her reputation?The first 50 pages or so start a little slowly. Part of the time is used to set up suspects and ease us back into the characters we already know and love, but part of it is spent talking about what Cam is currently growing in her Hoop House and starting up in the barn and how she’s growing stuff in the middle of winter. While I certainly expected some of that, it could have been mixed into the mystery better. It felt like the time after you’ve planted seeds but before you actually see anything sprouting.However, once the murder happens, things really do pick up and I was instantly hooked on the story. From there forward, the time that Cam was spending on the work of the farm she also spent thinking about the clues and events and trying to piece together a solution. And, of course, she spends lots of time out searching for clues and talking to suspects. I got so caught up in the story that I had a hard time putting the book down and read just under half of it on a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon.The characters in this series are great, and they continue to grow here. I was thrilled with the developments in Cam’s love life. She still struggles with her tendency toward being an introvert, but I like that character trait because it’s something different in the series I read. The new characters introduced here are just as real as the ones we’ve gotten to know over several books.Author Edith Maxwell is part of the Wicked Cozy group blog. Fans of the blog will enjoy a couple of cameos by characters from her blog mate’s series.While our weather has been a little cooler than normal in Southern California for early June, this book is set in January in Massachusetts – the middle of winter. I found myself shivering a few times as I read the descriptions of winter weather. Okay, so it doesn’t take much to make me cold (I am a Southern California wimp), but I still think the descriptions were great without slowing the story down.And yes, there are recipes – three to be exact. If you don’t normally tend to read the recipes in the back of culinary mysteries, you’ll want to make an exception here since there is a good laugh hidden in one of them.Despite the slow start, Farmed and Dangerous grew into a fun read that I completely enjoyed. If you take the time to dig into this book, you’ll be richly rewarded.NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fresh off the farm By A Cozy Girl Reads Life on Cam's farm is not as ideal as she would like it to be. She is finding it difficult to provide the promised amount of food to her customers. With a brutal winter in New England and the snow heading their way. Winter is not a great season for Cam on her farm that was given to her by her great uncle Albert who is now residing in a assisted living home.Cam is providing her farm fresh vegetables for a dinner at the assisted living home where her uncle resides. She is hoping to obtain a contract to keep providing them with the vegetables thoughout the season but that will not likely happen when a resident, Bev Montgomery dies after eating the produce that was part of the dinner prepared by cook, Rosemary.Soon after that another resident dies of mysterious circumstances and Cam is worried herself to the core and she becomes her boyfriend and police detective, Pete's number one suspect and is questioned at the police station. Cam soon fears for her life after she is nearly run down by the same car twice and locked in her barn's root cellar.There are many reasons for wanting "Moran Manor" resident Bev dead. She was not well liked, well maybe except for Great uncle Albert as she aided in taking care of his dying wife, Marie. Even her daughter Ginger may want her dead. But no matter who is suspected it was still in Cam's produce and with a near fatal fall of her uncle Albert she now has more reason to worry but it only makes Cam more determined to find a killer.I loved learning the in's and out's of Cam's life on the farm more than I thought I would. Being a foodie I love knowing about where food comes from and this Farmed and Dangerous did not disappoint. You won't help but fall in love with author Edith Maxwell's characters in the A Local Foods Mysteries and loath a few of them too. A very entertaining and "cozy" mystery that had me rooted to my seat until the end.
