I know there will be laughter and good times whenever an Amanda Flower book is in my lineup. Blueberry Blunder, though a murder mystery, is just chock-full of laughter, friendship, community, and the adorable pig--Jethro. Number 8 in the Amish Candy Shop Mystery Series, it can be read alone --- but I highly recommend reading in order ---that way the full scope of the character relationships can be enjoyed. The sense of small town community continues, new friendships grow, a stronger romantic relationship is hoped for, and Bailey's desired candy factory is at the center of the investigation. The pace is steady, the mystery is fun to solve, and there is a surprising killer---add in Jethro's silly antics and you have all the ingredients of a very pleasurable read. I can hardly wait for the next one!

Bailey's got her hands full between the construction of her candy factory and the team from NYC to film it as a continuation of her series on Amish candies. Unfortunately the construction has come to a complete stop for almost two months due to a list of issues from the general contractor, all leading to his demands for more cash before he starts up again. For once she was relieved to have the camera on when she fired him keeping him somewhat in control of himself. But later she overheard him vowing she would be sorry... starting tonight.

The story ties together life in an Amish tourist town, daily life of many of the Amish with a good murder mystery. All your favorite characters are here, especially Jethro, the pet pig. Thanks to netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I read this book 2 years ago, and while I remembered some of the stuff that happened. There was some I didn't remember, I'm glad I re read it to prepare for book 9

Blueberry Blunder is a fun relaxing book. Bailey is a great character I have been following the series not all but most of the latest instalments and have enjoyed each book. Her portrayal of the Amish is real. Didn't know in central Ohio was an Amish town. I grew up in Cleveland. It's amazing read and relaxing and good luck on the next book looking forward to another amazing read!!!

I have come to love this author so much! This mystery was thrilling and intriguing and I loved the execution. This series had well rounded characters, clues, and it worked seamlessly.
