A Roost and Arrest Lib/E

Farmed and dangerous . . . Leona's spirits are flying as high as the flags over Honeytree's Fourth of July Festival. Her fledgling egg business is booming, her new relationship is flourishing, and it's finally warm enough to put the top down on her convertible. Everything is sunny-side up. But her good mood disappears faster than a speeding pullet when the local beauty queen is shot during the fireworks finale--and the murder is pinned on one of her close friends. Now Leona must work around the cluck to find the real killer before her friend is cooped up permanently in the state pen.
