Twas the Bite Before Christmas

A caroling donkey arrives in Clover Grove before Christmas with tidings of a new murder.

Stray rescue animals are business as usual for hobby farmer Ivy, and her sheepdog, Keats. Misfits blend seamlessly into the menagerie and the more the merrier.

When a mouthy, grieving donkey demands room at the inn right before Christmas, however, Ivy bites off more than she can chew. He’s got a message that’s far from festive and he won’t stop singing the blues till she figures out his secret.

Someone in town won't live to see another Christmas, and Ivy, Keats and the crime-solving crew will need to work fast if there’s any hope of making their first country yuletide bright. Or even making it out alive.

Can they show this sad donkey the true meaning of Christmas while taking down a killer?

The next book in the Bought-the-Farm series will make you laugh out loud and keep you up all night reading. Perfect for lovers of cozy mysteries, amateur sleuths and clever animals.
