Series: Polly Deacon Mystery
Description: The third Polly Deacon novel finds our heroine in the unlikely (and uncomfortable) job of designing a mascot (Kountry Kow) for a new mega-grocery store, despite vitriolic opposition by local merchants, including her aunt. The scene starts to get really ugly when people start dying - not exactly the family environment that the developers desire!
