Well, this turned out to be a very enjoyable cozy read. I didn’t think I would like it at first but the author, Hillary Avis, proved me wrong. The characters were well written but the lead character irritated me a bit with her attitude. It was an excellent storyline and it flowed smoothly. Supporting characters blended very well into the story.

While digging out the foundation for her chicken coop, she comes upon a pair if boots, but inside them are bones, the bones of a human.
