About this item
Business has never been better at the O'Connell Organic Farm and Spa in Blossom Valley, California. But a murder has two of its top employees ploughing for clues at a commune where tree-huggers are wary of the modern world--and a killer may be disturbing their peace ... When Dana Lewis and Zennia Patrakio go to the Blossom Valley farmer's market, they expect to find luscious fruits and vegetables to delight the spa's guests. They are not expecting to see Birch Keller, Zennia's one true love. But Zennia's excitement over "the one who got away" is short-lived when Birch is found dead in her garden. Kitchen-challenged Dana takes over grief-stricken Zennia's cooking duties at the spa--but the biggest challenge will be searching for answers at the commune where Birch had been living.

Going Organic Can Kill You, a cozy mystery, is the first in the Blossom Valley series. It takes place at an organic farm and spa, where Dana Lewis must solve a murder while catching loose pigs and avoiding the adventurous spa cook's latest concoctions. She doesn't know what might kill her first: the murderer or those tofu fish sticks.
