The Case of the Tough-Talking Turkey — Claudia Bishop

On their farm nestled in upstate Summersville, New York, veterinarian Austin McKenzie and his wife, Madeline, keep themselves busy looking after ailing farm animals and pets in poor health. But while they may be able to mend creatures great and small, they have yet to find a cure for murder...

During his career, Austin has met several snakes--and none of them was meaner than turkey farmer Lewis O'Leary. So it's no surprise when O'Leary's dead body is found in a Dumpster. Circumstantial evidence points to a turkey-feed salesman, whom police have arrested. But the doc has a feeling the guy was framed. To prove it, though, Austin will have to narrow down the list of Old Man O'Leary's enemies--but with so many, how? His kin is ready to gobble up any inheritance from the turkey farm; an animal rights activist wanted his head on a platter; and this case will be anything but gravy...
