Put Out to Pasture by Amanda Flower

Available Feb. 22, 2022

Shiloh Bellamy has come home to Michigan after years as a Hollywood producer. She's got the family farm back on track and is excited to hold the first Fall Daze festival. The excitement reaches a fever pitch when the body of Minnie Devani, local curmudgeon, is found under a scarecrow, scaring off all the festival revelers. Will Bellamy Farms be able to rebound from this tragedy? What's worse is Shi's best friend Kristy is the police chief's favorite suspect, will Shi be able to clear her name?

The setting of this series is great, a quaint Midwestern town, a run-down family farm, a woman returning to her roots to follow her passion. In this book we see the arrival of a sexy new neighbor and Quinn begins to indicate that he might be interested in more than friendship with Shi. Shi makes the rounds while investigating Minnie's murder, meeting more of the townspeople and making a few waves along the way as she picks up little clues to the killer's identity.

This is my 3rd Amanda Flower book. I enjoy them a lot, I do feel like they're a bit longer than they need to be but they're always a fun read.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.
