Erin McCarthy was headed to a Christmas wedding—not a mystery involving a runaway cat, a cantankerous rancher, and someone determined to drive him off his land.
But when Clem, the Mystery Book Nook’s one-eyed orange tabby, unexpectedly stows away for the trip, Erin winds up at Hardscrabble Farm in the Texas Hill Country.
There she finds three mischievous miniature cows, a struggling old rancher named Willie Dobbins, and trouble no one else seems to believe. Gates are left open. Fences are cut. Things disappear. Willie insists someone is trying to make him look crazy.
Erin begins to think he might be right.
Then the threats turn deadly.
With Christmas approaching and a wedding she’s actually supposed to attend, Erin must uncover who wants Hardscrabble Farm badly enough to kill for it.
Christmas in the Hill Country was supposed to be charming. Nobody mentioned the arson.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
