Stray from the Fold is the fourteenth book in the Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm fiction series.
Harriet Bailey can't wait to marry Pastor Will Knight in just one month. But planning a wedding on top of tending her veterinary practice keeps her hopping--so much so that her Aunt Jinny prescribes a new hobby to lower stress: knitting.
Yet another challenge confronts her when local farmer Alfred Ramshaw brings a sick goat to her veterinary clinic. Is there any truth to Alfred's claim that his neighbor and rival, Arlene Pendergraf, is responsible for the mysterious ailment? Harriet can't believe the sweet older woman would harm someone's livestock, but she's struggling to find any other solution.
The mystery takes an even more interesting turn when Harriet finds clues that lead her to investigate a famous pilot who disappeared in 1910 on his flight to Dover. Could the secrets of the past give Harriet the answers she needs before more goats get sick--or worse?
Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm brings you everything you want in a great cozy mystery: page-turning plots, hidden secrets from the past, faith-filled characters, clean, wholesome stories, and the heartwarming, fun antics of animals with a knack for sniffing out--and digging up--clues! When veterinarian Harriet Bailey's grandfather passes away, she accepts his bequest and follows her heart--with God's gentle guidance--across the ocean to the charming town of White Church Bay in Yorkshire, England. Old Doc Bailey left Harriet not only a sprawling historic estate but also the Cobble Hill Farm Vet Clinic in the hope that she would continue his legacy. You'll be captivated, just like Harriet, as she takes long walks along country paths, marvels at the gardens surrounding each cottage, and wanders through the ruins of old stone castles. Through the caring locals she meets and the precious animals in her care, she confirms that she is right where she belongs--especially when people and pets alike bring her mysteries from today and yesterday to solve!Author Biography
