From Hollywood, California, to Heywood, Arizona, trouble follows her…

After her husband’s brutal killing and her fall from the Hollywood elite, the disgraced Samantha Rathbone moves to Heywood hoping to forget her past and live a quiet life of anonymity as Sam Jones.

When she takes a job at the local herbal shop, Sage Advice, and the owner is found murdered, Sam is pushed back into the unwanted spotlight when she becomes the number one suspect. As she wades through ugly family drama, the questionable business practices of others, and the lies embroiled in a small town, she searches for the true killer, hoping to save herself.

Will Samantha be able to find the murderer before she’s put away for a crime she didn’t commit?

I am so glad I can write this review for the first book in the Heywood Herbalist Cozy Mysteries series! This was the perfect cozy mystery read on a gloomy weekend night. I read it in one sitting (a couple of hours). The story and character development were both good. I can't wait to see how things play out in future books! I recommend this quick, fun, and easy read! It was a good palate cleanser for me, between romance and thriller books.

Herbs and Homicide is the first book in the Heywood Herbalist Cozy Mysteries series. This book is a fun start to the series. The characters are likable and the story has murder, twists and turns, and mystery. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was such a fun book to read! The mystery builds at a fantastic pace and nothing is revealed until the end. This book was an easy read that I couldn't put down! I cannot wait to read Lavender and Lies!

About the author

USA Today bestselling author Carly Winter writes fun, small town cozy mysteries, always with a dash of humor and quirky characters. When not writing, you can find her spending time with her family, on a Pilates reformer or enjoying the fantastic Arizona weather (except summer - she doesn't like summer). She does like dogs, wine and chocolate and wishes Christmas happened twice a year.
