What readers say
Readers enjoy this small-town Texas series for its likable farmer-sleuth, charming farm animals, gentle humor and a sweet slow romance with the local vet, and the recipes at the back are a favorite extra. Many find the mysteries fun, with decent red herrings, and keep reading for the setting as much as the puzzle. Common criticisms are predictable culprits, a bumbling sheriff, slow stretches heavy on food descriptions, and editing slips in the earlier books. Some readers note the later books lean more on a light paranormal thread.
Best for: Readers who want gentle farm-life cozies with recipes, animals and a little romance.
