Life on the farm

I just finished The Old Buzzard Had It Coming, an enjoyable mystery set in Oklahoma in 1912. The main character is Alafair Tucker, the mother of 9 and a hardworking farmer's wife. When one of her daughters gets involved with a young man with an abusive father, and the father is later found murdered, Alafair gets involved in investigating the crime to save her daughter. Not a lot of twists and turns, but a well-written nostalgic look at the past. I'll definitely keep my eye out for the sequel.
