Baby Skulls and Fowl Odors: A Pat Garrett, Leigh McCracken Mystery

Sheriff Pat Garrett and Deputy Leigh McCracken think finding a child's bones stuffed into one of Alma's precious dolls is bad enough, but then all billy hell breaks loose in Croysant. They'd had very little sheriffing to do in this quiet little town since the Biedermann case, but suddenly, they find themselves running around like chickens with their heads cut off, dealing with fires, more skeletons, and mobs of PETA people protesting a chicken factory farm that no one seems able to locate. Worse yet, Jenny Threewinds might be up to no good. Garrett has never been able to admit to himself that he loves her, and now she seems to have taken up with a handsome stranger. Garrett thinks this is just one more example of his bad luck with women until he learns that Jenny is searching frantically for a mysterious lost doll. This is the sequel to Karen Gallob's popular cozy mystery, All the Bad Stuff Comes in Threes.
