Synopsis

The unusual death of local herb farmer, Ginger Reed, is the talk of Yoder. Naturally, Sissy is intrigued. The official report classifies Ginger's demise as an accident, concluding that she ran herself over with a tractor. But Sissy's cousin, Naomi, a friend and longtime employee of Ginger's, insists that's impossible. When she asks for Sissy's help in unearthing the truth, Sissy's on the case—accompanied as ever by her loyal Yorkie companion, Duke . . .

The deeper Sissy digs, the longer the list of suspects grows—and none of them are Ginger. Near the top is Ginger's resentful sister-in-law, Mallory. Next is Naomi's brother, Lloyd, who's bitter about the oil derrick presumably pumping black gold from Ginger's land—land that once belonged to his family. Naomi herself could be a suspect—it's her tractor, after all. But the investigation stalls when Naomi makes a shocking turnaround in her story. Is she lying? And if so, why? Then a missing dog, a desperate lawyer, and a teenage con artist are added to the mix, and the puzzle becomes hopelessly complicated. If Sissy doesn't solve it quickly, she'll be lost in the weeds as a killer reaps a deadly harvest . . .

Goodreads review by Shirley on July 02, 2024

A Murder for the Sages was different than the first two books in the Sunflower Cafe Mysteries. This is because the murder had been committed before the book started.

Sissy Yoder is back in this newest addition to the series. When a local herb farmer is killed, everyone believes it was an accident, I mean, it's typical to run yourself over with a tractor, right?!

Goodreads review by Maureen on May 18, 2024

Another page turner read in this series. We are back in Yoder, with Sissy Yoder, aka Aunt Bess. There are recurring characters in this read, but they can be read alone. You might be laughing out loud, but there is a serious side here, and a murder. Oh dear, these murders seem to follow Sissy around. I......more

Goodreads review by Cozy Reader Lady on May 12, 2024

"A Murder for the Sages (A Sunflower Café Mystery #3)" by Amy Lillard is a touch of Amish cozy mystery and a touch of writer cozy mystery in a tiny house. This one revolves around a tractor "accident" that Sissy doesn't believe is an accident. She and Gavin do some digging to find out what really ha......more

Goodreads review by Anne on May 24, 2024

A Murder for the Sages is the third book in the Sunflower Café Mystery series, written by Amy Lillard. It is enjoyable to be reacquainted with previous characters but the book can easily be read as a stand-alone. Books that are filled with a community of friends and neighbors who seem to know everyo......more
