Till the Cows Come Home
(2025)(A book in the Agatha & Smitty Murder Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Sara M Barton
This Kindle anthology contains three books from the Agatha & Smitty Murder Mystery Series:
BOOK ONE: The Jazz Cat Murders
In their very first case together, cozy mystery author ‘Agatha’ and homicide investigator ‘Smitty’ work together to catch a dangerous serial killer who is murdering talented jazz musicians. This is a stand-alone mystery.
She’s hiding out at the One for the Road Motel with a big secret, using her cozy mystery author pen name as her alias. He’s an overworked, impatient, and grouchy homicide investigator. Who wouldn’t be with three murders committed in less than a week in a Vermont town near Lake Champlain that’s the size of a postage stamp?
Sparks fly as they verbally banter with each other. There’s no mistaking that attraction. It’s two moths drawn to the flame of love. But before they can act on their desire, they must solve the three…or is it four…murders!
BOOK TWO: The Twinkle Toes Murder
In their second case together, cozy mystery author ‘Agatha’ and homicide investigator ‘Smitty’ work together to catch a dangerous stalker who sabotages the lives of old high school classmates. This is a stand-alone mystery.
When Smitty calls and cancels Agatha’s birthday dinner, she suspects that he’s cheating on her. She wants to know whether he’s really investigating a baffling murder case or whether he’s fooling around with ‘Julie’, the mysterious woman who’s with him.
When she confronts him at the scene of the murder, she’s drawn into a case that quickly spins out of control. Who is the stalker and why are the old friends from Four Corners Regional High School being attacked? Too many secrets. Too many scandals. Old love…new love…bad love….What’s really going on?
BOOK THREE: The Howling Wolf Murders
In their third case together, cozy mystery author ‘Agatha’ and homicide investigator ‘Smitty’ work together to catch a dangerous killer who murdered two wolf behaviorists in two different states by two different methods to hide a dangerous secret about wolves and wolf-dogs. This is a stand-alone mystery.
As they arrive in Rowley Village, Vermont to enjoy their first vacation together as a couple, Agatha stumbles over a dead body during a blizzard. Luckily, Smitty has two experienced cops with him to help him investigate this homicide: his sister Joanie and his brother-in-law Jim, better known as Good Cop Pickleford. He also has his romantic partner, Agatha, the modern-day author of whodunit murder mysteries who channels her inner Dame Agatha Christie to understand a dangerous killer’s motives for murder.
The last thing anyone expects is for a hangry white wolf to take a shine to Agatha. Or is it a wolf-dog? Or maybe just a lost dog? It’s hard to tell without a genetic test! The malnourished creature keeps scratching at the door, trying to get close to her. Is this a Big, Bad, Wolf or a misunderstood pup? Agatha wants to feed the poor thing. Smitty wants to…well, you’ll find out what he wants to do!
To calm ‘Wolfie’ down when he gets rambunctious, Agatha creates a playlist of wolf songs from Shakira to Mozart. She’s convinced he’s soothed by the music. Is it wishful thinking on her part? With Joanie and Jim Pickleford to assist them, Agatha and Smitty throw themselves into the homicide investigation that has an ending no one saw coming.
Move over, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford and Nick and Nora Charles. Make room for Agatha and Smitty, the humorous and dynamic duo that’s determined to solve this baffling mystery in record time!
