I received this book for free from Berkley Prime Crime in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
This looked interesting, but wasn't one of my top pics from the batch I had been sent for review. And then I started reading it! I read the entire thing from cover to cover in one day, and loved it!
The blog entries are interesting, and make for a unique touch. I liked reading about Shelby and her kids, and the characters were really well fleshed out. I had an inkling of who the killer was by around the half-way point, but it turned out I was only half-right. I liked the way the clues were scattered through the book, as well as the little bits of info about gardening and cooking. None of it was over-done, there was just enough to make things feel real.
The only slight irk I had was how all the men in Shelby's life seemed to want to date her. She had not one, not two, but three different possible love interests. Other than that, I can't think of a single thing that bothered me about the book. Except for the fact that I almost didn't read it! This has totally made my keepers shelf, and I can hardly wait to see what the next book has in store.
Recipes Included: Homemade Meat Loaf, Love Blossom Farm Beet Salad, Homemade Slow Cooker Yogurt, Yogurt Cheese Spread.
