Seeds of Deception

By: Maisy Marple

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When Clarkson Crowder attends a seed savers meeting with her grandmother Bea, she expects an evening of heirloom tomato talk and friendly gardening advice. Instead, she witnesses a legendary collector announce a bequest worth a small fortune—and watches the room erupt with barely concealed jealousy, corporate hunger, and family fury. Days later, when the collector turns up dead before he can share evidence of a scheme that's been poisoning the preservation community from within, Clarkson finds herself drawn into her most personal investigation yet.

Someone in the tight-knit world of seed preservation is a killer, and they've gone to elaborate lengths to point suspicion toward Crowder Farm. With her reputation on the line and her grandmother's oldest friend demanding justice, Clarkson must untangle a web of fraud, betrayal, and bitter rivalries—all while wondering if the seeds we save today are really about the harvests of tomorrow, or something far more valuable.

In this satisfying conclusion to the Harvest of Clues Mysteries series, Clarkson faces her most cunning adversary yet as she fights to protect everything she's built over three years on the farm. With Diddly by her side, Nora in her corner, and the whole Meadow Creek community watching, she'll discover that some legacies are worth killing for—and some truths refuse to stay buried.
