Dead on Arrival

Dr. Wren Calloway is finally leaving Redbend, Montana.

Again.

Her bags are packed, her flight to Denver is booked, and if everything goes to plan, she'll soon be back to clean clinics, predictable hours, and a life that doesn't involve midnight calvings or townspeople treating her veterinary practice like emergency services.

Then the Lundgren brothers call with a "quick look" at a prize bull.

Only the bull is dead.

Six hours earlier, the animal was healthy, extremely valuable, and worth nearly half a million dollars. By lunchtime, the body's been tampered with, the evidence has mysteriously disappeared, and the entire town wants answers. Unfortunately, Wren is the only person who saw what mattered before it vanished.

Now Deputy Cal Briggs is asking uncomfortable questions, the Lundgrens are making everything worse by trying to help, and Wren's carefully planned escape is slipping further out of reach with every passing hour.

Because in Redbend, secrets travel fast, gossip travels faster, and nobody leaves town when there's a mystery to solve.

Dead on Arrival is the first book in the Redbend Vet Mysteries - a witty, fast-paced small-town mystery series packed with veterinary chaos, eccentric locals, slow-burn tension, and one very large dog named Biscuit who is almost certainly involved.
