I LOVED being back in Harvest with Bailey and her crew. Amanda Flower has done a fabulous job of fully building this cozy town with vivid descriptions and dynamic characters. Jethro is still my favorite. I enjoyed following Bailey as she once again investigates the murder. I really loved the progression of the storyline of Bailey and Aiden's relationship. This is one of my favorite cozy series, and Blueberry Blunder did not disappoint!

This was a fun story! Dr. Wortle hired Mr. Peacocke has a teacher, and we learn that he and his wife are hiding a terrible secret. Dr. Wortle has to decide to throw them out or help them. A scandal ensues! 

This plot was a cozy twisty turny plot. The characters were well fleshed out with great arcs. I loved the exploration of the themes of religious morality and social mores. Trollope's writing style is great, and the dialogue is so well done!

I very much enjoyed the first two books in this series, so I was very excited to read this finale! I did enjoy returning to this world and getting to spend time with some of the characters. Other characters were frustrating, or I felt I didn't need POV chapters for them. This one is very relationship heavy, which I felt took away from the plot and wasn't necessary. The climax felt a bit underwhelming. Mephi is still my favorite. 

Book 1 is my favorite out of the trilogy, and I think it works as a standalone, which made the second and third book pale in comparison. I still recommend this series, but this wasn't as strong of a book as I was hoping.
