Take It to the Sheep: A country mystery Kindle Edition

When Ruby moves back home to the farm to care for her mother, she refuses to give into her childhood loves of sheep farming, spinning wool, and knitting. Instead, she becomes a Private Investigator Understudy, using her big opinions and loud mouth to impress her boss. Unfortunately, a thief in her hometown forces her to remember just how much she loves Cotsword County sunsets, peach pralines, and farming with her dad, all wrapped in the southern goodness of the folks at home.

While Ruby fumbles to catch the Cotsword County thief, she stumbles through laughable escapades, from the manure on her dress shoes, to the flirtatious mishaps with her work adversary, Van Hildbranch—the towns sweetest bachelor. She cracks the case wide open when she finally listens to the advice of her father and “takes it to the sheep.”

This book had me on the edge of my seat, laughing, crying, and in suspense all at once! The author did an amazing job at pulling me right out of my environment and putting me on that warm, simple, farm setting. I love this story ❤️

5.0 out of 5 stars Connected With Ruby and the sheep
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2022
I felt a lot more connected to this character and her family than I expected. Their family story really moved me, especially her relationship with her Mom. I totally identified with Ruby's journey and growth. Loved it!
