Murder at the Market – A Sliced Vegetarian by Liesa Malik

A light and cozy murder mystery set in a small town outside of Denver, CO. Daisy Arthur, a 50-something widow, tries to come to the rescue of Brian, a young man with developmental issues, who is accused of a brutal murder the local supermarket where he works. 

Ginny, a similarly challenged young woman, his girlfriend, is a close friend of Daisy, and also works at the market. Her father, Gabe, is the local police lieutenant who also happens to be Daisy's sometime boyfriend. He is very protective of his daughter, and also determined to prove that Brian committed the crime. His anger management issues don't help in his relationships.

Daisy gets herself into a number of compromising and dangerous situations while trying to help solve the murder and get Brian freed.

Of course, all's well that ends well. An entertaining book that is very supportive of individuals with learning disabilities and limitations, a big plus, though it is handled with a bit of a heavy hand.
