Vegan Brie Hooker lives and works with her feisty Aunt Eva at Udderly Kidding Dairy, a hop, skip, and jump away from South Carolina's Clemson University. Brie's fun farm outreach attempt backfires when religious extremists decide goat yoga is a form of devil worship.
Believing one of the zealots might be persuaded to see reason, Brie's free-wheeling friend Mollye convinces her they should call on the young woman. Big mistake.
Picketers at Udderly's gates soon become the least of Brie's troubles. Not only is she accused of murder, she worries the death might actually be her fault. Danger mounts when an old family friend's visit ensnares Brie in a high-stakes feud between a U.S. Supreme Court nominee and the woman determined to expose his secrets.
In her personal life, Brie's still torn between the town's two most eligible bachelors. While she's edging toward a decision, she must first survive a cunning killer adept at crafting murders that look like tragic accidents.
Will Brie be another "accident" victim? Pay a visit to Udderly Kidding Dairy and find out!

BAD PICK by Linda Lovely | A Henery Press Mystery. If you like one, you'll probably like them all.
PRAISE:
"There's such a lot to enjoy in Linda Lovely's third Brie Hooker mystery BAD PICK. Of course, I came for the goat yoga and the religious extremists (I'm only human), but I stayed for the love triangle, the female friendships, the family members rubbing along so realistically, the sidelights on vegan cooking and the rich depiction of small-town life. And what kept me flicking the pages fast enough to cause a draft? The twisty, knotty, killer plot underneath all that charm. BAD PICK is a good un!" — Catriona McPherson, Multi-Award-Winning Author of the Last Ditch Mysteries.
"Wow! In Bad Pick, Lovely wrote an amazing novel only to see one part of the plot come to life in headlines all over the country. A fringe religious cult, a Supreme Court nominee, and goat yoga combine together in a tale that fans of mysteries won't want to miss. –Sherry Harris, Agatha Award Nominee and Author of the Sarah Winston Garage Sale mysteries.
"The Brie Hooker mysteries from author Linda Lovely continue to entertain, this time with extremists who really don't like the farm's new goat yoga offering. You'll find yourself muttering, 'What the feta?' as you follow the action around not one but two murders from the edge of your seat. Fix yourself a chevre sandwich and sit down to enjoy a delightful - and suspense-filled - read." — Edith Maxwell, Author of the Local Foods Mysteries and the Quaker Midwife Mysteries.
