Welcome to Love
Blossom Farm in the small western town of Lovett, Minnesota,
where owner Shelby McDonald not only farms, gardens and sells
her homemade cheese wares to the local merchants, but also
runs her blog, The Farmer’s Daughter, while trying to
keep her two children and mass of pets inline. When Shelby
offers to host the St. Andrews Church potluck at Love Blossom
Farm, Shelby had no idea the kind of trouble she would be
inviting into her home. When the recently-hired Reverend Daniel's
wife, Prudence, is found murdered in Shelby's mudroom, Shelby
makes a quick decision to try to help finger the culprit before
her farm has to pay the price.
This
is the first book in a new series, written by veteran author
Peg Cochran. I enjoyed this book, because it had a fun twist
to the writing style, as the character writes her blog, we
see it become part of the story in every chapter. Many times
Shelby "talks" directly to the reader including
tips on not only gardening but also food preparation. This
book was a hit in my book because of the characters and how
fast I became immersed in their world. The mystery, while
interesting to solve, was not, in my opinion, the core or
strength of this book, however the characters were. Overall,
I enjoyed No Farm, No Foul and I believe this is
a promising start to a wonderful new series! Oh and don't
forget to check out the yummy recipes at the end of the book,
as they are sure to delight your taste buds!
