Synopsis

The Ramp Festival at Sheriff Tony Abernathy’s family’s folk museum occurs during the peak of spring fever in tiny Park County, Tennessee, complete with music, food, crafts and homemade weapons launching vegetables at rubber duckies floating in a stock tank. But chaos erupts when a flying vegetable hits unpopular game warden Harrison Ragsdale, and he dies at the festival. Sworn to protect and serve everyone in his county, Tony investigates.

About this title

From Booklist:

No one in tiny Park County, Tennessee, likes Harrison Ragsdale, also known as Hairy Rags, the game warden. Far from being a lover of animals, he seems to be connected to too many missing cats, poodles, and pet bears. During the Ramp Festival, he wanders into a field where hobbyists were firing vegetables with homemade weapon-launchers and promptly collapses, dead. Sheriff Tony Abernathy, aided by his wife, Theo, must sift through the abundance of likely suspects, as nearly everyone has a reason to be glad Rags is gone. Tony follows the trail around the county, using clues from the beer-fueled bragging at the local seedy bar and the coffee-driven gossip at Theo’s quilt shop. In this latest in Graham’s quilting series (Murder by Music: The Wedding Quilt, 2011), Tony carries the story, as Theo manages the couple’s twins. The supporting cast includes realistically quirky small-town characters, some recurring. As always, there is a mystery quilt—this time a baby quilt—and quilting instructions, along with clues, are scattered throughout the book. --Karen Muller
