She is convinced that Lila’s husband, a former jockey, killed her. It doesn’t help that he’s the one responsible for Ruth ending up on the pet store floor. When Rachel agrees to help her, she’s drawn into the sordid world of horse racing and gambling. But the more she learns about the lives of those involved, the more she’s willing to bet that the truth lies in the haunting figure of Lila’s one-eyed cat.  Praise for Dolores Hitchens and her mysteries   “You will never regret having made the acquaintance of Miss Rachel Murdock.” —The New York Times   “High-grade suspense.” —San Francisco Chronicle   “For those who enjoy Little-Old-Lady detectives, this should be a pleasing mystery, particularly if active LOLs are preferred . . .

Goat Farm Gambit The: A Cozy...

Hoang Nguyen

🐐 Dairy goat farmer and cheesemaker Nanny Nightingale is preparing for the County Fair when her prize-winning baby goat is kidnapped and the fair's dairy judge—a notoriously strict official with shady connections—is found dead in her barn, surrounded by suspiciously chewed competition documents. The police suspect a rival farmer, but Nanny notices the tooth marks don't match her goats and the victim's scoring sheets contain coded symbols about milk quality manipulation. With her farm under scrutiny and the farming community butting heads, Nanny must hoof it to solve the case. Assisted by her 4-H dairy club and the handsome veterinary odontologist analyzing tooth impressions, Nanny uncovers a scheme involving goat identity theft, fraudulent milk records, and a sophisticated operation switching premium breeding stock. From suspicious hoof prints that reveal unfamiliar animals to milk composition that doesn't match the breed standards, every clue tells a story. But when Nanny discovers the victim was systematically sabotaging small dairy operations to drive them out of business, she realizes the killer is protecting family farms more valuable than any blue ribbon. With the county fair approaching and the real goat-napper still milking the situation, Nanny must separate the truth from the whey before her own farm gets permanently curdled.
