It's a mother-clucking murder!When Leona Davis hatches a plan to return to her beloved hometown of Honeytree, Oregon, she hopes to build the egg farm of her dreams and leave behind the marriage of her nightmares.But the yolk's on her when she breaks ground on her chicken palace and unearths a skeleton in her front yard. It's clearly fowl play. The bones may be decades old, but there's no statute of limitations on murder.With a county forensics team roosting on her lawn and a flock of town gossips poking their beaks where they don't belong, Leona's well-laid farming plans may be nothing more than a wing and a prayer.Her spicy high school ex, Sheriff Eli Ramirez, assures Leona he'll crack the case, but he's not exactly a hardboiled detective. Her best hope to get back to a life with more hens and less mens' Scramble to uncover her small town's buried secrets before everything's totally plucked.A Cop and a Coop is the first book in the clever, irreverent Clucks and Clues Cozy Mysteries that will keep you chuckling and guessing until the end.

This was a good cozy mystery about a woman who moves back home to open an egg farm. And of course a body shows up when they start digging for the chicken coop.

I liked this one well enough. The setting and side characters were interesting. I listened to the audio though and just found the MC deeply annoying. 3/5 bc the story itself was fairly good.

A cute and funny cozy with a twist that I didn‘t see coming! I enjoyed that it was in a small town with plenty of small town gossip to go along with it!

I was a little nervous going into this one because of being vegan, but I genuinely enjoyed the story. I May overly relate to the main character about being 50 and starting over…. But I do not have a red porche convertible. I‘m glad this was a #cbbc book @Mommamanzi ❤️

This one was the last book read during May #20in4 #Readathon @Andrew65 and it was the book for me to read for #CBBC @mommamanzi

It was a light cozy mystery with funny scenes and the expected town gossip. I didn‘t expect that twist. The protagonist has sometimes impulsive personality🙄and there will be second chances. Do we expect a sequel?🤔🤷🏽‍♀️3 ⭐️

Awe, I really enjoyed this one. It was cute. I am a bit of a “city“ girl so I would be totally lost drying to own/operate a farm, but ... I moved to VT and feel very “country“ now! Joshua wants a coup and everything! (We will see)

TheAromaofBooks There's something absolutely delightfully relaxing about watching chickens bustle about doing their chicken stuff 😂 2y
ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks I‘m very very tempted!!! Our neighbors have a coop and I love hearing them (they also have a goose that I really enjoy talking to) 2y
TheAromaofBooks Your husband might enjoy one of my favorite books about homesteading (I'll tag it). It's a great book for giving you a nice summary of information on different stuff and then you can decide if an area sounds interesting enough to delve into more haha Also, if you want to have fun looking at chickens, I highly recommend requesting Murry McMurray Hatchery's catalogue (it's free) - tons of photos and information; it's so fun!!! 2y
ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks I‘m stacking it so I can order it soon! It looks like it will be perfect for you 2y

So, we don't have a rooster that lives near us, but we have a goose. He makes noise throughout the day and night. But not annoying just... he likes to say “hi“.

My husband really wants to get a chicken coop. So... maybe chickens will be in my near future!

Quirky and fun small town crime mystery. Leona returns home after a divorce and wants her independence. She‘s a determined older heroine who‘s decided to start a chicken farm. Before she can finish her coop she finds a dead body. Will admit it took me a bit to warm up to, but I did and I plan to read the next book in the series too. And I adored her chickens, including Dr Speckles, Boots, and Alarm Clock.
