Murder in the Boonies

Sleuth Sisters #3

The abrupt disappearance of the renters at the Sleuth Sisters' family farm presents Faye with the chance to do something she's always dreamed of--start a retirement home for draft horses. Still, the circumstances surrounding the move are strange, and Faye, Barb, and Retta begin to suspect that at least some of the family members didn't leave voluntarily.

Things just aren't right in the boonies, and the sisters are determined to find out what happened to their former renters. Along with managing a menagerie of abandoned animals, they search for clues as to where Ben, Rose, and her three young daughters might have gone. What they find is a series of surprises that lead to more problems and dangers they never anticipated. Something hidden on the farm has attracted the interest of unsavory characters with no qualms about hurting those who get in their way.

Though Barb continues her Correction Episodes, Faye busies herself with caring for a host of animals, and Retta plans more and better shopping excursions, signs of impending peril keep them on alert. The danger grows to full-blown disaster on Michigan's beautiful Mackinac Island when they realize they have to stop an imminent attack on innocent, unsuspecting people. Can they manage it? If they can, it will be by working together: Sister Power!
