  🍗 Southern cook and family restaurant owner Gravy Jones is preparing for her small town's annual Thanksgiving potluck when the meal's most demanding guest—a notorious food critic threatening to expose family recipes—is found dead in her kitchen, a ladle of suspicious giblet gravy spilled across his notepad. The police suspect a kitchen accident, but Gravy notices the giblets have been deliberately substituted and the victim's tasting notes contain coded symbols about recipe theft. With her family's restaurant reputation on the line and Thanksgiving dinner in jeopardy, Gravy must simmer through the suspects to save her grandmother's legacy. Assisted by her kitchen staff and the handsome food historian analyzing traditional cooking methods, Gravy uncovers a scheme involving recipe espionage, ingredient substitution, and a plot to commercialize family secrets. From suspicious gizzard textures that reveal improper cleaning to herb combinations that don't match her family's century-old recipe, every spoonful tells a story. But when Gravy discovers the victim was systematically collecting small-town family recipes to sell to a corporate food chain, she realizes the killer is protecting culinary heritage richer than any gravy. With the Thanksgiving feast hours away and the real recipe thief still stirring up trouble, Gravy must thicken the plot before her family's traditions get permanently watered down.

  Rescuing this pup could bring her a whole new life… if it doesn’t kill her first. 
  Ivy Galloway doesn’t know how desperate she is to escape the big city and her soul-sucking corporate career until she meets a sheepdog in need of rescue, too. Ivy has downsized so many staff that her boss calls her “the grim reaper” of HR but it’s the only job she’s known. It would take something huge to make her leave that behind. 
  Or something small… like a pup in the wrong hands. Criminal hands. 
  Enlisting her best friend, she confronts the dog’s deadbeat owner with logic, humor and professional courtesy. When her HR skills fall flat, however, conservative Ivy starts breaking the rules. The clever dog digs in to help by unearthing a chilling clue that could put his owner away for good. 
  Can Ivy and the pup she loves evade a genuine grim reaper long enough to gain a new leash on life in the country? 
  This short prequel to the laugh-out-loud Bought-the-Farm Mystery series is a page-turner for lovers of animals, humor and spunky amateur sleuths.
