Seneca James Mystery

Raising butterflies is peaceful and calm, until someone dies. Majestic Monarch Butterfly Farm might flitter away forever. That is, unless Seneca James acquires the property next door. She and Winifred, her costume-wearing cat, have a fight on their hands. Their land sits next to a milkweed-covered field, essential for monarchs. If she's unsuccessful in buying it, her precious, winged friends won't survive. When people end up dead on her farmland, Seneca is suspected of murder. What is it about the milkweed field that's worth killing for? And who's the murderer?

Seneca James' cousin, Evie, ends up in hot water when she's accused of stealing a wallet from an angry customer in the Painted Wings Café. The customer also happens to be the local bank manager, who Evie pleads with for a much-needed loan, resulting in a public spectacle as the bank manager refuses, and ridicules Evie. When the manager later turns up dead inside the cafe, and Evie is the most likely suspect, it will take all of Seneca's sleuthing and help from her best friend, Sheriff Cody Bales, and her cat, Winifred, to get Evie out of trouble.
