Overview
Of Bats and Belfries is the thirteenth book in the Mysteries of Cobble Hill Farm fiction series.
When Celia Beem brings her dog for a visit at Cobble Hill Farm, Dr. Harriet Bailey learns that Celia is the new owner of the recently renovated historic Quill and Scroll Inn. Celia confides that opening the inn has been a bigger challenge than expected, as not everyone in town has been welcoming. But Celia is more concerned about the unexplained noises that she's hearing inside the building. Something strange is going on, and Harriet decides to help her new friend discover what it is.
Meanwhile Harriet receives an unexpected gift from her young neighbor, Randy Danby, of a small porcelain dog. It's a sweet gesture, of course, but Harriet can't help wondering where he got it—especially when he repeatedly dodges the question. Harriet digs a little deeper and discovers a story that dates back to the 1940s. And as if all that isn't enough to keep Harriet on her toes, her fiancé, Will Knight, finds an injured bat in the belfry at church.
Now she has a whole nest of potential problems that may come with the invasion of a protected species!
