The Blue Corn Murders A Eugenia Potter Mystery The Eugenia Potter Mysteries Nancy Pickard Virginia Rich Books

This warm and enjoyable book is a tad more adventure than mystery, but has much to recommend it. This was the first solo outing of Nancy Pickard's continuation of Virginia Rich's series featuring Eugenia Potter. The two had written letters to each other, having in common husbands who were cattle ranchers. It felt like fate to Nancy Pickard when Mrs. Rich's husband asked his wife's editor if another author could continue the mystery series after her sad passing. Virginia Rich's creation is carried on quite nicely by her admirer, Nancy Pickard, whose own Jenny Cain mystery series is very successful.

Some pottery shards found on Eugenia's ranch give her inspiration to attend the Medicine Wheel Archaeological Camp in Colorado to learn more. It is there the older but lively Euginia will bond with a group of friends and have more adventure than she'd bargained for. There are many secrets at Medicine Wheel, and at least one of them will lead to the murder of a young misguided girl named Gabriella who was an Indian wannabe. A missing group of young tourists driven to a dig and a small shampoo bottle full of LSD will play a part in solving Gabriella's murder, but not before a second one occurs and an even darker secret is discovered.

Though the setting and story may sound sort of dark, The Blue Corn Murders very much has a "cozy" feel and style to it. It is well into the book before anything that would constitute a murder mystery takes place. But the atmosphere created by Nancy Pickard is both warm and enjoyable, making it a fun read. Euginia is likable and the other characters become real as the book progresses. Scenes of passing an ear of blue corn around a Talking Circle in the firelight, and archaeological digs add as much flavor as the food the camp's cook, Bingo, creates for the group. There are tidbits about those Ancients called the Anasazi by the Navajo, but Hisatsenom by the Pueblos, and the ruins of ancient cities now abandoned. It is in these ruins, in a Kiva, designed for community worship, that Gabriella will leave this world for the next, with help from someone unknown.

Those who enjoy a lot of atmosphere and a very likable central character will find both in The Blue Corn Murders. It is an easy read, and as long as you are aware going in that it is more on the cozy side, you will find it very enjoyable. Archaeolohists Corn Bread and Bingo's Chocolate Cornies are just two of the five recipes included in this light mystery with a lot of flavor.

While some of the background was very interesting, it moved slowly. When it came time to really get into the mystery, I didn't think that it was well developed.
Great read
Entertaining
