A Natural Death — Ruthe Furie

WHO WILL BE NEXT TO BUY THE FARM?

A body in the barn and an insurance company holding the farm's accident policy bring P I. Fran Kirk out of the city for some country sleuthing. But when the death of Ben Grasse--impaled on his own pitchfork--turns out to be no accident, Fran must leave the fresh air and sunshine for some dark and sinister pastures.

On the one side is the late handsome Ben--who had been enjoying more than his share of rolls in the hay with any number of willing young women, including Fran's friend Amy, who fears her abusive husband might be Ben's killer. On the other side is young Greta, Ben's computer assistant, who is among the missing--and a possible suspect as well. But while searching for Greta, Fran's dip into the farm's computer files unearths a scandalous mix of dirty little secrets, big business shenanigans, and a devastating truth that makes one clever P I. the next target of a desperate killer.
