Chicken Culprit

A light-hearted cozy mystery that will touch your heart and your funny-bone.

When Anne Fremont discovers her neighbor dead in his compost pile, she’s thrust into the role of amateur detective. Who had the most to gain from the death and is Anne next on the list?

Anne seeks to put her past behind her and moves to Carolan Springs, Colorado where she's excited about fixing up the old Victorian she’s bought. But when her young neighbor, Kandi, begs for her help to clear her as a suspect in a neighbor’s death, Anne finds she can’t say no to the ditsy, young woman. As the suspect list grows, Anne is determined to clear Kandi’s name.

This is the first book in the Backyard Farming series by Vikki Walton. Each book in the series has a backyard farming or suburban homestead theme and Chicken Culprit is about chickens and eggs, along with the theme of forgiveness.
