This Little Piggy
A Kappy King Kaper Book 4
by Amy Lillard
-From Goodreads- They only came to buy a pig… Jimmy Peachey, lover of all animals, has finally done it. He’s finally convinced his sister, Edie, to allow him to raise pigs. But when he, Edie, and Kappy arrive at the farm to buy the swine, they have another surprise in store. Balthazar Lapp, the ultra-conservative Amish pig farmer, is lying on the floor of his greenhouse, bludgeoned to death. After an anonymous caller tips off police, Jimmy’s friend Tiny is arrested for the murder. Jimmy begs Edie and Kappy to help get his friend out of jail, but with a prison record and the possible murder weapon found in his car, Tiny will remain behind bars. Yet strange things are still happening around the valley. Corn is mysteriously growing at the abandoned farm behind Edie and Jimmy’s house. Balthazar’s wife disappears just days after his death along with all his livestock and the huge crop of medicinal marijuana from his greenhouse. And Jimmy is convinced that the Lapps’ neighbor, Gerald Kent, stole one of their pigs—the very same, ‘special’ pig Balthazar had been trying to sell to Tiny on the day of his murder. It’ll take all Kappy’s wits to put the clues together and figure out who the murderer is, but it’s only at the Third Annual Smoking in the Valley barbecue competition that she uncovers just how special this little piggy really is. ASIN: B09SNMYH5G Where will the clues lead them... | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
But I enjoyed every minute of trying to puzzle out the mystery and unearth who-done-it. There are suspects aplenty to sort through with Kappy as she also tries to keep tabs on two very busy dogs with a penchant for coming back home with some very suspicious 'grass'. And then there was that other puzzling little mystery in This Little Piggy, what's up with Edie and Jack? Only time will tell with that second one and I sincerely hope that Amy Lillard has more Kappy King Kapers forthcoming, and soon, because I just HAVE to know!
If you've never read an Amish cozy mystery before you should really check out Amy Lillard's quirky Kappy King Kapers because they are so much fun to read! They are lower on romance and high on mystery, sorry, that pun was very much intended after reading This Little Piggy, LOL! Anyway, you won't want to miss a single one!
