Summary:

After solving two murders in the “peaceful” town of Buttercup Bend, Cathy Carter needs a rest. She also needs time to consider the marriage proposals she received over the holidays. But when the town’s librarian asks her to go undercover to solve the suspected murder of a co-worker who retired to a llama farm, Cathy leaves her kittens with her grandmother and her friends without an explanation.

The only person at Oaks Landing Farm who knows the true reason Cathy and Mildred have come there is Danielle, the murder victim’s daughter, who is having trouble convincing relatives and the police that her mother Doris was killed and didn’t suffer the heart attack that was termed her cause of death.

When it’s proved that Danielle’s suspicions are correct, the guests who attended the dinner at which Doris died are invited back for a reenactment of that night. These included the gardener, veterinarian, and farmhand who all had motives to murder Doris, as well as Doris’ sister and her ex-husband. When the dinner is staged, the only clue Cathy receives is given by Danielle’s grandmother who has dementia. Will this unreliable tip help Cathy deduce who murdered the llama raising librarian?

Lulu the LlamaCharacter Interview with Lulu the Llama

How did you and your author meet?

We met at the Oaks Landing Farm where I live.

Why did this writer decide to feature you in a book?

Debbie decided to feature me because I’m cute. A reader of her newsletter suggested the title of her new Buttercup Bend book that included a llama. Another reader submitted my name for a contest. I got my good looks from Next Chapter Publishing’s graphic artist who designed the cover of my story.

Do you have any friends or family helping you out?

Yep. My best friend is Sheri, the young daughter of Danielle, the lady who sadly lost her mother and is trying to convince everyone that she was murdered.

Do you have a regular job and investigate on the side or are you a full time detective?

I’m not a detective. Cathy Carter, who is investigating the murder here at Oaks Landing, just joined the Hunt, Myers, and Carter Detective Agency. This is her first case, and it’s undercover.

What is the funniest thing that happens to you or another character in this story?

I became pregnant, and the test to determine my condition is called a “spit” test. I think that’s funny.

Have you solved other cases or is this your first one?

This is my first appearance in a book. I’m hoping to be back in another book but not as a main character.

Do you have a gift or special talent?

I lead great hikes around the farm, and my wool is very soft.

Who is the most important individual in your life?

Danielle, the main lady in the book. Doris, her mother, was very special, too, but she is dead.

What is your ideal vacation?

I’d love to visit Buttercup Bend where Cathy Carter lives and owns a pet rescue center. I might also like to go back to visit Peru one day. That’s where I came from.

If you could change anything about your life what would it be?

I don’t think I’d change anything except maybe find a way to save Doris, but I wasn’t at the dinner the night she was killed. Also, if I saved her, there wouldn’t be a book.
