Shepherd's Lie

The Bakehouse Three help a sheep farmer solve the murder of her no-good ex.

Molly Ferris, Carol MacCallan, and Laura Donovan, proprietors of Loch Mallaig, Michigan, bakehouse Bread on Arrival, are eager to weave themselves into the fall yarn festival being held at Thistledown Acres, providing scones for a charity bake sale and helping the owner, Gwyneth Carter, prepare for the crowds flocking to her sheep farm. Events at Thistledown spin out of control on the first night of the festival, however, when Molly discovers that Gwyneth’s black-sheep husband, Ernie, has been murdered.

Molly and her friends work to unravel the tangled threads of Ernie’s exploits and the potential motives for his murder. With a killer on the lam and increasingly suspicious happenings at the farm, the women grow quite concerned for Gwyneth’s safety, as well as their own. Can they expose the murderer in sheep’s clothing before it’s too late, or will one of them end up died-in-the-wool?

This clever whodunit from Annie’s Scottish Bakehouse Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, baking, Scottish culture, and female friendships.
