Put Out To Pasture by Amanda Flower

 


Shiloh Bellamy is working her tail off on her family farm trying to get it back on its feet. But when another murder happens and her best friend is accused of committing that murder, Shiloh knows that she has to prove her friends innocence. Chief Randy is all for a cut and dried case, but Shiloh knows that her friend didn't commit the murder. There are many suspects that come to light because the victim was not well-liked. And what about Shiloh's grandmothers mysterious allusion to a treasure on Bellamy Farm? Was her grandmother speaking literally or figuratively? Add onto that Shiloh's relationship with her dead fiance's best friend Quinn and Shiloh has a full plate to keep her busy. Will she be able to solve who the murderer is or will she be the next victim in order to keep her silent? 

I really enjoyed this second book in the Farm to Table series! I am enjoying the characters and the mysteries. Things are looking pretty bleak for Shiloh and the recovery of the farm, but she is determined to bring it back to life. I like that about her character. She is not willing to give up on this project even with all of the impossible tasks she sees ahead. The animals that are always present in Amanda Flower's books bring a smile to my face and fun antics to the story. I like the relationship between Quinn's daughter Hazel and Shiloh. I also like the fact that Shiloh is able to see beyond people's behavior into their hurts. She's able to bite her tongue several times which is admirable. I do wish she and Quinn could get on the same page about whether they want to be friends or more! Dancing around the subject or ignoring it isn't helping either one of them. If you are a fan of cozy mysteries then I definitely recommend this book. It is a fun, fast and entertaining read and you won't be disappointed.
