Picked Off - Linda Lovely

It's been seven months since Brie Hooker, a vegan, moved to Udderly Kidding Dairy to live with her feisty Aunt Eva, a confirmed carnivore. But tonight there'll be no family feud over dinner entrees.

Udderly's hosting a campaign fundraiser for Eva's best friend, who hopes to be South Carolinas next governor. The candidate's son, a pro quarterback is flying home for the winding. And Brie's eager to get a close-up view of the cute tush she's admired on TV, even though she's reluctantly sworn off even more tempting local beefcake.

The campaign fundraiser promises to be a huge success until a pitchfork attack turns the goat farm into a crime scene-again. To protect her friends, Brie puts her sleuthing skills to work. Will she live long enough to find out who's behind a vicious assault, a kidnapping, blackmail, and murder?
