It's hard to believe that Letty's ancient neighbor, George, had a mysterious past, but when he dies under suspicious circumstances, village tongues begin to wag. Could it really be a coincidence that George's glamorous niece, Stephanie, suddenly appeared just hours before George met his death? And can a gorgeous woman who sends Letty such powerful mixed messages really be happily married? Trapped into arranging an unusual funeral, and struggling against Stephanie's considerable charms, Letty wishes she wasn't involved. But as dramatic revelations unfold, she becomes embroiled in a dangerously tricky case involving cryptic letters, hidden treasure, and a secret lesbian love affair. Library Journal called Alma Fritchley's debut novel, Chicken Run, "a satisfying English village cozy...evocative of warmth, charm, and intimacy"; Kirkus Reviews wrote: "This is a gentle lesbian love story with a kiss of slow-burning mystery".
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
If anybody else were distracted from her lover Anne Marple by the likes of stupendous Stephanie Evershaw-Adam, whose Uncle George had just died, youd expect some serious consensual behavior. What you get instead with Georges neighbor, lesbian chicken-farmer Letty Campbell (Chicken Feed, 1998, etc.), is some awkward bumps and glances, gallons of soul-searching, suspicions of foul play that are more embarrassed than determined, and Lettys trademark warm domestic humor. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Light and fun,
This review is from: Chicken Out: The Third Letty Campbell Mystery (Letty Campbell Mysteries) (Paperback)
Letty Campbell, chicken farmer, finds it odd that the police are reluctant to rule her neighbor's death as an accident. Her neighbor's niece Stephanie and her husband show up abruptly, and then Letty's lover Anne leaves her for another woman. To find some calm in this personal storm, Letty becomes involved in this burgeoning mystery when some letters are found at her neighbor's which are exact copies of ones left by Letty's deceased aunt. After a tryst with Stephanie, Letty begins to wonder about her motives in relation to her uncle's will. And just what is Letty's aunt's connection to those letters? Fritchley's third Letty Campbell mystery is a delightful story featuring plucky characters that'll charm any reader.
