Dogcatcher in the Rye
About this audiobook
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 flee the big city with her brilliant rescue dog, Keats.
When Keats finds someone pushing up daisies in Ivy's rye field, however, murder puts a blight on her plans to welcome guests. Worse, Ivy's high school boyfriend—now the chief of police—considers her a suspect.
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 to the core and put her big, quirky family at risk.
Solving the case is the only option... especially when the killer strikes even closer to home.
Join novice hobby farmer Ivy Galloway and sheepdog Keats as they wrangle rescue animals and ruthless killers in the first book of 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.
