Bodies at the Barn

A Totally Delightful Small Town Cozy Murder Mystery

A buried body. A loyal beagle. And a small-town mystery that refuses to stay dead.

When dog trainer Maggie Harper inherits her belated grandmother's crumbling farm, she hopes to start fresh in Silverbrook. But those plans wither when her Beagle, Scout, digs up a body by the barn.

The victim? Sandra Ellison—once the talk of the town and her grandmother’s former best friend.

Now, whispers are flying: Did Evelyn kill Sandra to protect a secret? And why is Chief Alan Whitaker more interested in shutting things down than finding answers?

To rebuild her life, Maggie must clear her grandmother’s name and expose those who would rather keep the truth buried. But between small-town politics, tangled family ties, and an overly competitive rival dog trainer, nothing is simple.

Reluctantly teaming up with rule-bound officer Nick Lawson, Maggie follows a twisting trail of lies and betrayal.

But the closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes—someone who’s killed once won’t hesitate to kill again. And if she’s not careful, she’ll be the next body in the barn.
