Although Mayor Cora Mae Bingham planned a peaceful summer of self-improvement while ensuring all the sidewalks in Spicetown were in tip top shape, the new Farmers Market presented special challenges that required her attention.
With her friend, Mavis Bell, embarking on a busy retirement plan; the original Farmers Market manager becoming a celebrity; and Police Chief Conrad Harris testing out a second career in teaching, Cora was focusing on others taking on a little more responsibility until an unidentified body turned up in Red River and mysterious guests started breaking into empty houses for sale in Spicetown.
Instead of a peaceful summer, Cora had to keep both eyes on the suspicious activity surrounding the new Farmers Market management and the neighboring towns to figure out how it was all connected.
