First in a delicious new mystery series about Eva Knox and her family’s Georgia olive plantation.
 
In the sweet Southern town of Abundance, Georgia, home of the Knox family’s olive farm, gossip isn’t the only thing that can kill you...
 
After leaving a man at the altar for the second time in her life, Eva Knox decides to head home to her family’s plantation to regroup and soak in some Southern charm. But hiding from her woes is a slipperier proposition than Eva imagined. For one thing, most people in town still haven’t forgiven her for leaving local boy Buck Tanner at the altar and hightailing it up north eighteen years ago. For another, a death on her family’s farm soon makes her the lead suspect in a murder case—and the sheriff investigating is none other than Eva’s old flame Buck.
 
With the police putting the squeeze on her, it’s up to Eva and her sisters, Pep and Daphne, to figure out who could have possibly left a dead body in their olive grove. And they’ll have to catch the greasy killer quickly—because it looks like Eva has been picked as the murderer’s next victim...

      Starred review from January 1, 2016

      Once upon a time, Eva Knox left Buck Tanner standing at the altar. She fled to Boston and made a new life for herself. Then she dumped another fiance and fled back to Abundance, GA, and her family's plantation. Her father is now growing olive trees, and he makes Eva head of marketing and PR as she recovers from her latest heartbreak. While out jogging, Eva trips over a corpse. Turns out Buck Tanner is all grown up and is now the county sheriff. Who is dead in the olive grove? It seems the victim has two different names. And why are there Mafia types from Boston staying at the plantation? VERDICT Eva is finished with men, but who can resist a gorgeous good ole boy? Her zany family helps her cope, and she wants to do her best for them as well. Charming characters and an atmospheric Southern setting make this a tasty debut for food cozy aficionados. Includes delicious Southern recipes that incorporate, of course, olive oil.
