Till the Cows Come Home: A Stella Crown Mystery

Praise for Till The Cows Come Home
She’s smart. She’s tough. She’s sexy. She’s a dairy farmer? However incongruous Stella Crown’s occupation may seem in conjunction with her attributes, Clemens makes her not only believable but admirable.

-Booklist

Newcomer Clemens’ absorbing mystery thriller explores the impact of runaway development and loss of agricultural land on farmers such as her engaging heroine, motorcycle-riding, 29-year-old Stella Crown. - -Publishers Weekly

Stella Crown works hard and loves her life. She runs her own Pennsylvania dairy farm with the trusted help of longtime farmhand Howie who stuck with her after her parents died. She rides her Harley on the weekends, and has just enough friends to suit her fiercely independent nature. But on her 29th birthday, things start to change. A local child dies from a strange and threatening illness, a string of mysterious disasters place Stella and her farm in peril, and her childhood friend Abe shows up with a new woman on his arm. It seems like bad luck run amok, but when her livestock begins turning up dead, Stella knows that something, or someone, is out to get her.

A past president of Sisters in Crime, Judy Clemens lives in an old farmhouse in rural Ohio with her husband and two children. Till the Cows Come Home is the first of her Agatha and Anthony Award-nominated Stella Crown mysteries. www.judyclemens.com
