Death in the Ditch
(2025)(A book in the Willie Wilder Cozy Murder Mystery series)
A Story by Ivy Featherstone
A newcomer.
A suspicious death.
A town of secrets—and one bossy cow.
Willie Wilder was just passing through Eagle Ridge on her way to a fresh start.
But when her van breaks down, she finds herself stuck in a small town hiding big secrets—and someone at the center of them winds up dead.
The victim? A cranky landowner with more enemies than friends.
The suspects? Coopers, long feuding neighbours, Baldwin, deeply indebted, or the Fenleys - cheated out of their land?
Her allies? A trio of unforgettable women: Talulla the tattooed mechanic, Birdie the bedazzled motel clerk, and Marnie the no-nonsense librarian.
Threatened to back off, she arms herself with a notebook, curiosity, and her strange gift for understanding animals (don’t ask), Willie becomes an accidental sleuth.
With antique keys, a cryptic cow, and a skeptical sheriff circling, Willie must dig up decades of buried secrets.
And in Eagle Ridge… even the cows know better than to talk.
Genre: Mystery
