Murder at the Blueberry Festival  cover

Synopsis:

After a career on Wall Street, Lindsey is making a different kind of dough in a pretty lakeside village, and the upcoming blueberry festival—including the pie-eating contest her bakery is hosting—is the highlight of the summer. But soon Beacon Harbor runs into a patch of trouble.
 
A local real estate agent gets pranked. A parade float gets pelted with water balloons. It’s all laughed off until the stunts start escalating—and looking more like sabotage. As the event turns into a debacle complete with rampaging goats, Lindsey’s sweetheart, a former SEAL, starts investigating. But the juicy mystery takes a bitter turn when a man—dressed up as a Viking—is found dead in a boat, and it’s no longer mischief but murder…


Review:

This is book 3 of the Beacon Bakeshop Mystery series, but the first I have read. I will defintely be going back to read the first 2 books! This is a fun, quick read, with just the right touch of likable characters, a quirky mystery to solve, and a fun summer fest/parade, to get you in the vacation mood! Who would be willing to sabotage the town's Summer fun? And why? It's a mystery that Lindsey and her new pet will get involved in, in more ways than one! You'll be reading to cook up some blueberries when you finish this book, so get ready to go a pickin after you pick up this book!
