I didn't bother finishing it. It was poorly written, as if the publisher said “Let's corner the tea drinker/mystery market” and picked the nearest person to write. It didn't flow. I will avoid any other themed mysteries like this because they're probably all as poorly written.

Re-reading the series

Great job at conveying the frustration and stress. I found myself getting upset. That's a sign of a good book to me.

Fooled me on this one! And Mike is an ass.

Listen to the audio narrated by George Guidall. He makes the characters come alive.

I finished it in one sitting. I really enjoyed Daisy. I didn't realize it was a romance story though. I'm not a fan of that but I enjoyed the rest of the story. Billy is an asshole. ;)

Loved it! I was drawn in by the separate stories and then how the author brought them all together. Absolutely fantastic story!!

A fascinating look into what appears to be a unique life but really is something I see a lot of similarities with. Her description of taking on her mother's pain is everything I have been trying to understand for years. This meant so much to me.

I wish all books had trigger warnings

A fantastic look at a genre that continues to evolve. I'm hoping I can find a copy of John Christopher's The Little People one day. Who doesn't want to read about an Irish B&B with Gestapochauns?

I read a lot of mysteries, especially cozy ones and this one is perfect! It's everything I was looking for and more!!!

Okay but none of the characters made me care about them or their story

I liked it but it was obvious right away who the killer was

November 1, 2016

Only 167 pages of story, the rest was recipes. This is just a short story, nothing more.

Another good cozy read

Started out great but dragged at the end. It could've ended at least 100 pages sooner. I started to find the characters really annoying.

It wasn't as good as it was in high school but is anything?

Read while waiting for my therapist, loved it! Beautiful and funny and wonderful.

I only read the Joanne Fluke story but it was cute.

Fantastic world! Draws you in and completely surprises you. Absolutely cannot wait for the story to continue.
