In Farm’s Way
Shiloh Bellamy still expects the last few Winter months to be busy with repairs, spring planning on the farm, and networking with local businesses. She might even be able to broker a new partnership with Fields Brewery and its organic brewer’s association. Well, she could if the owner, Wallace, wasn’t found murdered at the county Ice Fishing Derby.
Once again, Shiloh gets tangled up in the investigation when the police ignore an entire crop of suspects to blame one of her friends. She’ll have to dig deep to find the truth, reel in a killer, and convince her city-slicker pug to wear his winter boots. But with Bellamy Farm still struggling, can Shiloh spare the time to look into the town’s fishy characters? Or will her dream farm be the next thing floating belly up?

The Review
Shiloh is back working on her struggling farm, planning for repairs and planting. The local ice fishing tournament takes up time, but she is happy that her father has something to do. A foul murder puts a spanner in the works. In Farm’s Way, Shiloh has to work on the farm and find a killer that is determined to prevent her from catching them by any means.
When brewmaster Wallace is found floating under the ice by Shiloh and her adorable pug Huckleberry, she is instantly plunged into the investigation. Even though the farm takes up all of her time, she feels the need to find the killer. Following the clues, at least those that aren’t under ice, she slowly finds the truth. Shiloh is nosey and sticks her schnoz everywhere it doesn’t belong. If she isn’t careful, she might become the next victim to plunge into the icy depth to never surface again.
The evidence is there to be found and followed, and it only leads to one conclusion and the killer. The uncovering of the killer has enough action to keep readers glued to their seats. The characters in this series, such as Quinn, his 12-year-old daughter, Hazel, and Shiloh’s best friend, Kristy, keep this series fresh. Bellamy Farm isn’t just Shiloh’s home; it’s her passion. The love she has for her father, Sully, is clear to see, but so is their strained relationship. This makes the series fun and entertaining. In Farm’s Way is a delightful read that gives readers many reasons to continue the series and reread every book.
