When the South Carolina Restaurant Association visits the farmer's market Becca works at, she's excited.  But when the head of the organization shoots down her jams and then is found murdered at Becca's house, suddenly she's at the helm of yet another murder investigation - only this time her mother is suspect number one!

Crops and Robbers is the third book in the Farmer's Market series and even though I had not read the first two books in the series when I started this one, I was able to jump right in and I had no trouble following the plot.  Love that!

Paige Shelton writes a great mystery - Crops and Robbers was very well thought out.  Near the end of the book it seemed obvious who'd dunnit, but I knew from my cozy mystery experience that it's never who it seems to be.  And it certainly wasn't!  I really enjoyed the love triangle aspect of the novel - I don't come across love triangles too often in my cozy reading.

A must read for cozy lovers, especially those who like cozies about food.  Crops and Robbers includes some delicious sounding recipes at the back of the book.
