Dogcatcher in the Rye : A Cozy Mystery for Animal Lovers (Bought-the-Farm Mystery Book 1)

Turning a hobby farm into a country inn is a piece of cake compared to solving a murder.

Ivy Galloway may not know an alpaca from a llama, but nothing’s going to stop her from pursuing her dream of opening a farm-themed inn in her hometown of Clover Grove. Not after what she went through to rescue Keats, her brilliant sheepdog, and flee the big city.

When Keats finds someone pushing up daisies in her rye field, however, murder puts a blight on her plans to welcome guests in two weeks. The chief of police may be gorgeous, but he’s taking his sweet time investigating. Does he really believe Ivy is a suspect or is he holding a grudge over their high school break-up?

To clear her name, Ivy starts digging up clues. The former HR exec is no stranger to interviewing, and Keats is a dog who loves a job. Every step takes them closer to a secret that could rock her ambitions—and her big, quirky family—to the core. With her beloved farm’s future on the line can she solve the case before the killer comes after them next?

Join novice hobby farmer Ivy Galloway and sheepdog Keats as they wrangle rescue animals and ruthless killers in the first book in this clean cozy mystery series for animal lovers. Bought-the-Farm Mysteries are perfect for readers who love heartwarming hilarity with a hint of homicide.
