"Spring may be just around the corner, but a cold-blooded killer has put the big chill on the residents of Westbury, Massachusetts. It looks like organic farmer-turned-sleuth Cam Flaherty will have to set aside her seedlings for the time being as she tills the soil for clues in the mysterious death of a local poultry maven. With the weather getting warmer, Cam should be spending her days pruning blueberry bushes and taking care of the new batch of chicks that just hatched. But murder knows no season. So when her fellow fowl-raiser Wayne Laitinen is found dead at his breakfast table one morning, Cam must put down her trimming shears and put on her crime-solving hat. The kind-hearted chicken farmer didn't have any enemies--or did he? A wealthy financier has been working hard to convince him to sell her his land, while a group of animal rights activists recently vandalized his property. Money troubles were threatening to sink his marriage. And a thirty-year-old scandal was driving a wedge between him and one of his oldest friends. Murder, blackmail, cover-ups. There's a fox in the hen house. But where? With some help from her off-again, on-again flame, police detective Pete Pappas, Cam will have to crack this case before Wayne's killer flies the coop forever."--Dust jacket flap.

Murder Most Fowl was an enjoyable cozy mystery. The characters are appealing, friendly, and likeable. The information provided about the farm is interesting and engaging (planting seedlings, farm animals, perils of foxes on chickens, composting). Murder Most Fowl is easy to read and can be finished in just a few hours. The mystery was easy to solve (pay attention to the small clues), but Ms. Maxwell did a good job at misdirection (she had me doubting myself). After I read about the murder (unique method of killing), I decided upon the killer and wrote it down. When the killer was revealed, I was right (can you tell I enjoy puzzles). Though the writer could have taken it into two other directions (her misdirection). There is one sad part with the baby chicks (poor little things). I give Murder Most Fowl 4 out of 5 stars (I liked it). I look forward to reading the next book in A Local Foods Mystery series.
I received a complimentary copy of Murder Most Fowl from NetGalley in exchange for an honest evaluation of the novel. ( )
