Born in a Barn (Clucks and Clues Cozy Mysteries Book 4)

Last one to solve it is a rotten egg…It's Christmas in Honeytree. Leona's homestead is dusted with snow, her beloved grandchildren are visiting, and her connection with Sheriff Eli Ramirez is sweeter than a cup of hot cocoa. But when her Grinchy ex-husband shows up on her front porch, all the holiday cheer flies the coop. He's not just there to ruin her new life. Worse, he wants her back. And he's counting on a little Christmas magic to help him do it. Eager to put coal in his stocking, Leona arranges a visit with Santa. But when Old Saint Nick pegs her ex for the naughty list, it more than ruffles his feathers. And when Santa is found "sleighed" after their frosty fistfight, her ex becomes the prime suspect in the killing. Now Eli's not just competing against him for Leona's heart. He's also investigating him for murder. And Leona's unwelcome guest is extending his stay—unless she can uncover the truth of what happened there under the mistletoe and send him packing to jail…or at the very least, back to LA. Can Leona and Eli crack the case in time for Christmas? Or will their holiday goose be cooked? Born in a Barn, the fourth book in the Clucks and Clues Cozy Mysteries, is a festive whodunnit full of chuckles and chickens. While designed to be read in order, all the books in this series can be enjoyed as standalone mysteries. No gore or other explicit content, just good, clean murder.
