    About this series

    The award-winning author's brand-new Sunflower Cafe Mystery series, set in small-town Kansas, features a twenty-something advice columnist turned cafe manager and sleuth, her loyal Yorkie, farm-fresh produce-and murder. Will appeal to fans of Charlotte Hubbard, Molly Jebber, Susan Lantz Simpson, and Kelly Long.

    Twenty-something Sissy Yoder never imagined herself running her Aunt Bethel's cafe, but her help is needed, so she's making a go of it. And she must admit that life in tiny Yoder has been anything but dull-she's already solved one homicide-after being named the prime suspect in the case! Enjoying a peaceful respite after all that excitement, Sissy just wants to write her advice column, hang out with her loyal Yorkie, Duke, and procure some of local farmer Walt Summers's scrumptious "To Die For" tomatoes for the Sunshine Cafe's menu. But when the unsavory Summers-resented by just about everyone in town-turns up murdered in his garden shed, it's up to Sissy to roll up her sleeves, dig for some clues, and weed out the culprit . . .

      Looking for a fresh start, advice columnist Sissy Yoder heads to small-town Yoder, Kansas, to help in her aunt's cafe. But when a milkman is murdered, the newcomer becomes the prime suspect . . . 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 Cafe but recently broke her leg. It's a homecoming of sorts as Sissy arrives to help in the cafe 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 cafe 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 . . .
