After her devastating divorce, and losing her marketing job, Candy Holliday takes refuge with her father Doc at his farm in Cape Wellington, Maine. Together they run Blueberry Acres where life is quiet and peaceful . . . most of the time.

As the town prepares for their annual Blueberry Festival, one of the town's more eccentric residents, aging playboy Jock Larsen is found dead at the bottom of a cliff. His death is ruled accidental until town gossip columnist (and newly elected Blueberry Queen) Sapphire Vine is found dead, and the connections and coincidences begin to add up. The likely suspect looks to be handyman Ray Hutchins, but Candy knows that poor slow-witted Ray couldn't have possibly done these crimes. But as she and her best friend Maggie begin to dig around, it soon became clear that Sapphire had a lot of dirt on a lot of people, and a passel of dark secrets of her own.

As the ladies untangle the web of deceit, with a little help from cute newspaper editor Ben Clayton, they find a mess stickier than Candy's sweet blueberry pie.

TOWN IN A BLUEBERRY JAM is the debut novel in the Candy Holliday Mystery series from B.B. Haywood, a pseudonym for the husband/wife writing team of Bob and Beth Feeman.
