Deerly Departed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781998742103)

Santa calls about a reindeer problem that puts Christmas in deadly peril.

Clausville has been a hill country institution for decades. The festive holiday theme park and petting zoo always attracts a crowd.

This year, the resident reindeer is in quite a predicament. While another ornery ruminant wasn't on Ivy's wish list, there's always room at the inn for an animal in need.

Turns out the reindeer isn't the only one in trouble. Santa himself is on the hook for a terrible crime. All signs point to him, but has the jolly old elf been framed? It's all hands, paws and hooves on deck to keep Clausville running while solving the mystery. The reindeer may hold the key to bringing Christmas in for a landing on time.

The next book in the Bought-the-Farm Mystery Series is a perfect page-turner for lovers of animals and funny, spunky amateur sleuths.
