A delightful new cozy mystery from USA Today bestselling author Amanda Flower!
There's fowl play afoot on the farm
Murder shatters the peace at Bellamy Farm just as autumn and the annual fall festival promises a fresh start for Shiloh Bellamy. When a townswoman’s body is found beneath a scarecrow, Shiloh’s lifelong best friend becomes the prime suspect, forcing Shiloh to dive into the secrets lurking behind her small Michigan town’s welcoming façade.
Determined to clear Kristy’s name, Shiloh finds herself juggling farm responsibilities, community tensions, and the antics of her lovable pug. As she hunts for the real killer, Shiloh must confront old rivalries and trust her instincts before the harvest—and her friendships—are lost for good.
With Amanda Flower’s signature warmth and humor, Put Out to Pasture blends the suspense of a small-town whodunit with the comfort of genuine relationships and a lively farm setting. This story is a charming escape for anyone who loves clever mysteries, quirky characters, and the hope of second chances.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Flower's entertaining sequel to 2021's From Farm to Trouble opens on a beautiful October day in Cherry Glen, Mich., where the Fall Daze festival is in full swing. Former Hollywood producer turned organic farmer Shiloh Bellamy devised the event to bring visitors to the farm and to test new recipes for baked goods. Shiloh's father, however, isn't pleased by the hundreds of strangers milling around, and Shiloh, too, begins to doubt the wisdom of the festival once she starts running out of food for the hungry tourists. Finding more muffins turns out to be the least of her worries when an unpopular local is found dead at the foot of one of the decorative scarecrows set up in a nearby field. Worse still, the body has been strangled with the eye-catching scarf belonging to Shiloh's best friend, the manager of the popular Cherry Glen Farmers Market. Shiloh must once again turn sleuth to catch the real culprit. Flower efficiently establishes the who, what, where, and how right at the beginning. Cozy fans will hope to see a lot more of the earnest, quick-witted Shiloh.
