4.0 out of 5 stars A Fresh Cozy May 3, 2010

By R. J. Kvidt

Format:Mass Market Paperback

There's a lot to love about this book. It's a new cozy with small town charm and enough farm fresh goodness to delight all fans of the genre. The jam lady, Becca, proves to be a strong female sleuth. She finds herself in sticky situations trying to solve the murder of the peach vendor. Secrets from the past have to be outed and someone wants to stop Becca before the jam thickens on the stove. In the end she lives to make preserves another day and preserve the market before it's too late. It's a strong story line, with well developed characters, and includes recipes from the farmers' market vendors. I highly recommend.

Terrific, fun read. Becca is a great character with a fascinating backstory. I hope the author continues this as a series; I'd love to learn more about the ex-husbands and get to meet the hippie parents!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Keeper May 30, 2010

By AW Reader

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is such a good book! The characters, the plot, and the mystery are all well crafted. I couldn't put it down, and I wish more mysteries had this kind of suspense. The writer's style is appealing and reminded me a little of Sue Grafton. I can't wait to read more about these characters. Highly recommended.
