Money is always a problem for Hera Knightbridge’s microbrewery, but now drought makes water scarce for all the breweries in the Butternut Valley.
To make things worse, Hera discovers a rival brewer murdered in his brew barn, making Hera the authorities’ favorite suspect. To clear her name, her only choice is to join forces with an unlikely partner, the new assistant deputy sheriff, Jake Ryan, her former lover from law school days.
There’s unfinished business between these two, and it surfaces again and again as they pursue a killer who finally turns on the indefatigable Hera as the next victim.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new release! Love the alliteration in the title!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a different setting/occupation for a mystery series! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLisa, love your site and love what you're doing for indie authors and small presses. I'm going to tell my publisher at Oak Tree Press and many friends to support this site.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting occupation for a woman. Love it. As a woman competing with a male majority in a national art contest I can relate. But a woman can prevail. I have to believe that.
ReplyDeleteLove your cover, Lesley. Good luck with sales.
ReplyDeleteBeer and murder--an enticing combo. Congratulations on the release and the site.
ReplyDeleteThe name "Imogene Duckworthy" makes me very happy.
