Interesting series set in rural Idaho. I love the author, but I didn't get to finish the book before it was whisked away by the gremlins.

I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. ( )

Angie Turner, co-owner and chef for the County Seat restaurant, has a lot on her plate literally. Besides her duties in the kitchen, Angie is battling a land takeover by a large conglomerate who want to building a soybean factory on her farm and those around her. She is the lone holdout for selling. She wants to stay on her little farm with her private little zoo. But things are getting tough - the townsfolk are anxious for the plant and new jobs and the improvements they think will come with it. However, the lawyer in charge of the land acquisition has his own problems - getting Angie to change her mind and the fact that his wife is missing. Why does the factory have to be on that piece of land? Is it all related?

Angie and her crew are a great cast of characters, people you would want as your friends. The story was interesting with sufficient twists and turns and a great ending. ( )
