Title: Murder Freshly Baked
Publisher: Zondervan Publishing
Ages: Young Adult to Adult
Synopsis:
The Amish Artisan Village of Middlebury, Indiana, might be the last place you would ever expect to find a murderer. But Amber has been managing the Village for decades and there's nothing she hadn't seen. Or so she thought.
Why maybe you should read it:
I’m not usually a cozy mystery reader…I leave that genre to
my sister. But there was something about the cover of this book that captured
my attention so I thought I would give it a try. I mean what’s not to like,
right? A cute Amish village where fresh baked goods are on the menu along with
a slice of murder topped with a mystery.
Unfortunately, for me, this third book in the series didn’t
exactly wet my appetite for more cozy mysteries. The beginning chapters of
MURDER FRESHLY BAKED were very confusing to me with the introduction of so many
different characters. I don’t know if it would have helped to have read the other
books in the series first, but since I didn’t know who these characters were,
it was challenging to feel connected to them.
I’m sure Ms. Chapman’s book would be a fine read for someone
else but for me, MURDERR FRESHLY BAKED didn’t quite fit this reader’s palette.
