Synopsis

Everyone in the charming Hudson Valley town of Oak Falls expected Flynn Keegan, their handsome blond “Golden Boy,” to make it big in Hollywood. So when veterinarian Kate Turner identifies a bone dug up by one of her dog patients as human, no one thinks back ten years to remember Flynn. Until DNA and a smashed skull prove he was murdered.With few clues available to the forensic team, the grieving family begs Kate to investigate. His four closest friends plead ignorance. Neighbors and teachers remember the charismatic young man but offer no real help.Meanwhile, Kate is juggling her eccentric house-call clients, a silly potbellied-pig wedding, and the sudden reappearance of an old college boyfriend. Anthropologist Jeremy Engels, who returns like Indiana Jones from an African dig, is eager to rekindle their romance and offer his help. Together, they plan to crash Flynn’s high school reunion, a recreation of his senior prom, and interview his fellow students. Time isn’t of the essence with a ten-year-old cold case, right? Her Gramps is convinced that the killer is long gone, just like the illegally captured brown bear she helped save, now roaming free in the woods. But Kate soon discovers that chains of love can be as strong as those made of steel—and some deadly secrets have put her next on the kill list.

Goodreads review by Betty

I was delighted to find the third book of Kate Turner's experiences as a veterinarian. The exploits are Smithsonian often funny. I especially liked the pig wedding.

I love this series. Kate Turner DVM Mysteries series is set in the Hudson Valley and deals with Kate's veterinarian practice.

Goodreads review by Jennifer

Pretty good story for the series. I like the main character, Kate. I think it's a little weird that people ask her to solve a cold case murder when she wasn't from the town but it worked in the end. I actually really like her relationship with Jeremy instead of Luke. I hope that lasts through the se......more
