Daffodil Hill

Mayor Bob looked around himself at his small town of Daffodil Hill and took a deep breath of pride. Because he grew up here, he knew the folks and the town in-and-out. He loved the little community that he helped build and really enjoyed helping them solve their problems. That is why the mystery of who was stealing them out of everyone’s gardens was such a puzzling one. He wasn’t prepared for the discovery of who it was stealing the precious tomatoes…or what was….
“Quaint, small-town charm belies an inexplicable presence in Daffodil Hill and the Purpose of the Lavender Fields, a highly imaginative novel by Danette Key. Little do Daffodil Hill’s citizens know but their small village is under siege by a perpetrator the likes of which no one has ever encountered before. With a great setting, compelling characters, and an imaginative story overall, Daffodil Hill is a unique novel that will satisfy readers of both cozy mysteries and science fiction.”
