Chapter Fourteen

Driving home later that evening, she glanced in the rear-view mirror and plucked a piece of hay from her hair.

She reflected on her detective skills. Although she could vouch that the main barn contained nothing other than scratchy hay bales, she hadn’t investigated either of the other buildings.
