Dead in the Hay — Connie Feddersen

Amanda Hazard, savvy CPA and amateur sleuth, thought marriage might give her a break from murder. But crime never takes a honeymoon.

A BALE OF BLOODSHED
Amanda is just settling into married life with her new husband, sexy country cop Nick Thorn, when she's jolted back to reality by a call from her richest and least favorite client, Harvey Renshaw. Seems the gruff career military man has another oil well interest to discuss with her-and he means now. Amanda decides to drive out to Harv's ranch and tell him he can drill for a new CPA...where the sun don't shine. But after tromping her way through a herd of confused cattle, Amanda discovers someone else had a beef with the cranky codger-and a deadly beef at that. Harv Renshaw is lying boots down under a ton of hay.


THE LAST STRAW
Amanda's convinced Harvey's death was no freak farming accident. Never a candidate for most loved man of Vamoose County, his lack of popularity has produced a long list of suspects-everyone from his four ex-wives to a local supplier he stiffed. Trying to ferret out the truth is like searching for clues in a haystack. But as Amanda cuts her way through a field of motives, mysteries and murderous accusations, she finds herself smack-dab in the middle of a case that could leave her the prime target for a vindictive killer gone haywire...
