Chicken Out by Alma Fritchley

As a series of dramatic revelations unfold, Letty is soon embroiled in a dangerous case, involving hidden treasures a mysterious death - and a secret lesbian love affair.

From Kirkus Reviews
If anybody else were distracted from her lover Anne Marple by the likes of stupendous Stephanie Evershaw-Adam, whose Uncle George had just died, youd expect some serious consensual behavior. What you get instead with Georges neighbor, lesbian chicken-farmer Letty Campbell (Chicken Feed, 1998, etc.), is some awkward bumps and glances, gallons of soul-searching, suspicions of foul play that are more embarrassed than determined, and Lettys trademark warm domestic humor. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
