The Blue Corn Murders
ByPublisher Description
Kernels of Truth....
When Eugenia Potter stumbles upon some ancient pottery shards on her ranch, she feels a profound connection with the past. And a deep desire to learn more about the relics. Now, she's heeding the call of her soul--by visiting an archaeological camp amid the magnificent cliff dwellings of Colorado's Mesa Verde.
But strange things are happening at Mesa Verde, from the director's increasing mental confusion to a visitor's grisly death. Even a Talking Circle--a traditional ritual facilitated by the passing around of an ear of blue corn--doesn't reveal the source of the trouble. And when a busload of teenagers on a hiking trip disappears without a trace, Mrs. Potter begins some digging... to unearth a cruel scheme, a long-buried secret, and the deadly fruits of a killer's dark hungers.

“When rancher Genia Potter discovers some potsherds and sea shells on her property, she immediately wants to know more. So she signs up for an archeological camp in Colorado's Mesa Verde. She's on the hiking side of things. She and 6 other women will be hiking around the area and listening to talks by an archeologist. But the camp is somewhat in disarray. The Executive Director is being challenged at every turn by one of the Board of Trustee's who is on this hiking trip with Genia. What's worse is that a young woman in Genia's party is killed, apparently by a mountain lion, one night. Until it becomes more apparent that she was murdered by a human agent. Then a dozen teenage honor students don't show up when they are supposed to and the whole mountain gets involved. Everyone is on edge. But Genia knows there must be more to the eye than they are seeing and when she starts investigating it becomes very clear exactly who is doing the gaslighting and why. It was a solid story with a couple of good recipes to boot. If I have the opportunity to read more of these or more of Pickard's work in general, I will.”
