Small-town veterinarian and former med student Dr. Tullah Holliday never looks for trouble. Rather trouble finds her. Who killed Mayor Alma Tackett and her secret lover? Could it be playboy and mayoral candidate Forest Rakestraw? He seems the likely suspect for murder until Tullah finds him dead in a horse stall. When autopsies reveal partially digested donuts laced with poison, fingers point first to the elderly bakeshop owner, then to the high school teacher Rakestraw jilted. Tullah decides to help her sheriff dad track down the killer. Now it’s not just trouble finding her, but danger, and maybe death.
