In a charming new cozy mystery series from USA Today bestselling author Amy Lillard, twenty-something advice columnist Sissy is ready for a fresh start in the small town of Yoder, Kansas - along with her loyal Yorkie, Duke. She's planning to help out at her aunt's Sunflower Caf?, but little does she know her new duties will soon include solving a murder! After Sissy's rodeo cowboy boyfriend turns out to be more of a rodeo clown, she packs a bag; picks up her Yorkshire terrier Duke; and leaves Tulsa, Oklahoma, bound for her parents' former hometown. There are still plenty of Yoders in Yoder, Kansas, including Sissy's aunt Bethel, who owns the Sunflower Caf? but recently broke her leg. It's a homecoming of sorts as Sissy arrives to help in the caf? and reunite with her pregnant cousin Lizzie. Plus she can continue to secretly write her newspaper advice column as seventy-year-old "Aunt Bess." But it's Sissy who could use some advice when she finds the milk deliveryman out behind the caf? with a knife in his back. As the sheriff's prime suspect, it's up to Sissy to catch the backstabber herself--before someone else gets creamed...
Dairy, Dairy, Quite Contrary is a new cozy mystery by Amy Lillard. I'm not sure if it is the beginning of a new series but I sure hope so. I enjoyed this charming story filled with a community of friends and neighbors who seem to know everyone else's business. Sissy, niece to Aunt Bethel who has been temporarily hobbled, has arrived in small-town, Yoder, Kansas, to help out at the Sunflower Café. Arriving with her tiny Yorkie and flashy convertible, it was a last-ditch effort for Sissy to exercise some control over her falling-apart life. Little did she know she'd have a murder mystery to solve if she was to stay out of prison! The author's way with words kept me guessing as to the culprit right to the end. I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions are my own.
