Death in the Ditch

A newcomer. A suspicious death. A town of secrets-and one bossy cow. Willie Wilder was just passing through Eagle Ridge on her way to a fresh start. But when her van breaks down, she finds herself stuck in a small town hiding big secrets-and someone at the center of them winds up dead. The victim? A cranky landowner with more enemies than friends. The suspects? Coopers, long feuding neighbours, Baldwin, deeply indebted, or the Fenleys - cheated out of their land? Her allies? A trio of unforgettable women: Talulla the tattooed mechanic, Birdie the bedazzled motel clerk, and Marnie the no-nonsense librarian. Threatened to back off, she arms herself with a notebook, curiosity, and her strange gift for understanding animals (don‘t ask), Willie becomes an accidental sleuth. With antique keys, a cryptic cow, and a skeptical sheriff circling, Willie must dig up decades of buried secrets. And in Eagle Ridge... even the cows know better than to talk.
