Town in a Blueberry Jam

I started a new series this year with the first book, Town in a Blueberry Jam by BB Haywood.  The Candy Holliday mysteries are about a young woman, Candy, who has returned home to ME to help her father run a blueberry farm.  There are bits of information about the processes involved in farming the fruit mixed in with the mystery.  The relationship between Candy and her father is probably an accurate depiction of how this situation would go given the reestablished cohabitation after years of independence.  I have several more installments in this series that I look forward to reading this year.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Enjoyable first in a series. Unique setting of a blueberry farm in ME but a similar plot to many cozies. Adult daughter moves home to help dad on farm. Candy and her dads friends make it an enjoyable read though with some definite characters among them. I look forward to reading more in the series and seeing how it progresses
