"Love thy neighbor" has always been easier said than done for Shep and Molly Jones- their closest neighbor, Dick MacDougal, really lives up to his name. As a run-of-the-mill stay-at-home mom, and ranch wife, Molly is typically busy enough running carpool, baking for fundraisers, and helping raise cattle that their paths don't cross often, and everyone prefers it that way. But in a welfare check gone awry, Molly finds herself face to face with Dick's dead body, and a lot of unanswered questions.
While the authorities are content to live and let live or, in this case, let Dick die and not ask questions, Molly knows something bigger is going on. In seeking the truth, Molly finds herself in the middle of small town drama, generational feuds, affairs, and more hijinks than she anticipated as she continues to try to parent kids and ranch hands, raise high quality cattle, and not find any more dead bodies before she can figure out what happened to the first one.
Fans of Class Mom, Finlay Donovan, and Callahan Garrity will enjoy this brand new cozy mystery with heart and humor that asks the quintessential question-how far will you go to love your neighbor when you really don't like him?
