I have not read the first two books and normally that might be a problem but this is a "stand alone" type mystery where you can jump right into the story and figure out what is happening without having read the first two books. I would however recommend that you find and read the other two books because this one was so much fun to read that I'm pretty sure you would want to read them all.
Amanda has created some wonderful character's in this series. The heroine of the series is, Bailey King who has returned from New York to her hometown of Harvest, Ohio to help run the family Candy shop, Swissmen Sweets.
She suddendly finds herself meeting back up with her ex-boyfriend, Eric who comes to Harvest hoping to rekindle their romance and also to promote his new television series. He wants Bailey to help star in the series but there is a slight problem...first off the Candy shop is owned by Bailey's Grandmother who is Amish and they don't allow people to take their photo's much less film them. The real (dare I say) fun begins when a member of the Production Crew is found murdered and all fingers point towards Bailey's ex.
Now it's up to Bailey and her Policeman boyfriend of sorts to solve this crime.
I don't want to spoil anything so that's as far as I'm going with the story plot. I want to say that I really enjoyed the situations that Bailey finds herself in during this book. Plus you will fall in love with Jethro...who might that be? Well it's not who you think it is. Nope not the boyfriend...Jethro is a pot-bellied pig and he was just hilarious. See him there on the cover of the book.
This is a very easy to read book and a fun one as well. If you aren't into quick, fun and easy to read murder mysteries then it's probably not your cup of tea but then again you never know you might like it. I know I did.
You can order this book on Amazon HERE and guess what? There is going to be another book in the series! - I can't wait to read that one as well.
I received an e-copy of this book on NetGalley for my honest review.
Reading is my most favorite of all things. thanks for the review

ReplyDeleteI love books like this. This sounds like a winner.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome! Plus, my religion ad the Amish used to be all one denomination. I will have to buy it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun read. I'm always open to a good mystery-type story. I tend to gravitate more towards the John Grisham suspense stories.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of these books, bit will now look them up at the library! The colorful cover is adorable and definitely makes it look interesting! I just finished up two great books, and now need to decide which one to start reading again, I have a big tall stack, ha ha LOL
