All the books in this compilation are clean Cozy Mystery short stories that do not contain any foul language, sexual situations, witches, or paranormal events.

Book One - Dying To Win
Holly Bridges had always dreamed of having her own stable. While out for a drive in the country, she found a farm with a large indoor arena and several outdoor arenas. Even though it looked like it hadn't been used in years, it was the perfect location for holding equestrian shows and stabling horses.

Shortly after opening, Holly managed to acquire a prominent local's horse as her first boarder. With the new tenant it looked like Happy Hollow Stable's first equestrian show could be a huge draw for the locals. Well, that is until a dead body showed up in a nearby field.

Will the show go on or will Holly have to give up her lifelong dream?

Book Two - Kill Them With Kindness
While celebrating the windfall of her very expensive Hanoverian gelding, Rufus, the old barn cat, showed up sick. When Holly realized that she hadn't chosen a vet for any of the animals, her assistant suggested that try the local Veterinarian in Hill City.

After seeing the vet, Rufus wasn't getting any better, so Holly made a follow up appointment to have him checked out again. Shortly after their arrival at the vet's office she found the doctor dead.

Did the Veterinarian die of natural causes or could it have been murder?

Book Three - Old Dog New Tricks

Holly was just getting settled in at Happy Hollow Stables when she found herself being adopted by a German shepherd that showed up looking for food.

Since the dog arrived without a collar or any type of identification, she took him to the local vet to help search for his owner. The vet checked him for a microchip, but couldn't find anything. Since she was unable to locate his owner, Holly decided Happy Hollow Stables could be his new home away from home until his owner could be found.

Soon after the dog got familiar with his new surroundings, Holly discovered he seemed to have yet another secret. How will she find out what it is?

Book Four - Cart Before The Horse
Holly's old truck wouldn't start after hitching up the trailer to pick up a new schooling horse for Happy Hollow Stables. Her assistant, Mckenzie, recommended that she have the truck towed into the local mechanic in Hill City.

Once the mechanic completed his inspection, he explained that her truck was simply too old and not worth fixing and referred Holly to his business partner that sells used cars in the attached building.

Will the cost of a new truck be murder?

Book Five - Silence of Snowfall
It's Valentine's Day and a local reporter for the Hill City Herald just announced a blizzard is coming.

As the weather moves into the area, and road conditions begin to deteriorate, Holly finds herself with a sick horse and a host of uninvited Valentines Day guests at Happy Hollow Stables.

Will Valentine's Day turn out to be murder?

Book Six - A House Divided
Holly just found out the property Happy Hollow Stables is on is now up for sale. Holly had been wanting to find a home that was closer to stables, but if the property is sold to someone else, she could lose her entire business.

Could buying a new home be murder?
