When Chelsea Thomas returned to her gorgeous small town after getting dumped, she expected a great many things...
...getting caught up in a dangerous murder mystery wasn't one of them.
Within a couple days of returning to the family orchard, Chelsea is accused of murder and told not to leave town. Luckily, she's staying with Miss May -- a former big city prosecutor -- which means she's got someone to help her through this. When Miss May recruits her bottle-blonde best friend, Teeny, the trio begin their hunt for the killer...all the while baking the best apple pies in the state.
But one murder leads to another and another. The ladies are constantly on the run from bad guys. They're always doing beattle with the inept police force. And they're trying, and often failing, to keep their love lives moving forward at the same time.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
First off, let me say that I love Chelsea Thomas (both the writer and the character, not to be confused with each other). Chelsea the character has adventures that others can only dream about. That is, if you dream about finding dead bodies and outrunning killers and outwitting the police force. Something to think about, I guess...
Anyway, I have read all the books in the series and I can truthfully say that I enjoyed them immensely. We see poor Chelsea as she goes from heartbroken left-at-the-altar bride to strong, willing-to-do-whatever-it-takes Chelsea, and it's a welcome transformation. She grows with each book, and we watch the changes, however subtle they may be, as she becomes who she finally is in the final book. I will not give away plots as I expect you will want to read and enjoy them yourself, but they are definitely worth the time.
The author(s) are talented, and allow us to see a little bit of the area where Chelsea grew up, and it's a delightful sight. We also find that our friends Amy and Petunia (of the Dog Groomer series) make an appearance as well.
As I have stated before, I love this series and hope that it continues. Even if the trio of Chelsea, Miss May, and Teeny keep finding dead bodies, we, the readers, can enjoy watching them solve the murders.
I received a copy of this book from the author and BookSprout but this in no way influenced my review.
