The Body in the Hayloft
Description
Bookstore owner Emily believes cats and mysteries go together, and she just might be right. During an equestrian workshop at the Double C ranch in northeast Oklahoma, a pampered Persian housecat leads Callie to a woman in a hayloft. The Rose Creek Reads book club springs into action, investigating the meaning behind the woman's mysterious final words.
While creating a new murder board for book club, Makenzie hides her own secret - a potential layoff at Brieswell Pottery Works threatens her future as a chemist. University mathematician Shanice is happy to be dating famous horse-whisperer Sam, until he becomes a suspect in the murder. Lawyer Drew tackles a case involving mineral rights that leads straight to the Double C ranch.
The book club mingles with Olympic-level horses, their fussy humans, and disruptive animal rights activists flooding the normally peaceful ranch with drama. When the conclusion of the weekend event approaches, potential suspects will soon leave Rose Creek. The urgency to solve the murder escalates. Until a crisis throws the book club and the ranch into a panic.
