Sadie Colman has purchased an old mill in Shady Creek, VT and is fixing it up to be a literary pub. She is working on developing romance and mystery book clubs. Unfortunately there are a couple of people who think the mill would be better served as something else. Sadie is trying to adjust to her new home, and has agreed to do a pie judging contest at the Harvest Festival. Her ex-boyfriend has resurfaced and is trying to win her back, however she is not falling for it, especially not after he stole a bunch of her money to fuel his gambling habits. That doesn't mean she wants him dead though, so when he ends up stabbed she is determined to find out who done it!
I'm currently breaking into the mystery genre, and I think this was a great starter book. It was picturesque, nicely written, and I genuinely enjoyed the story.

I wanted to read this cozy because I really like Sarah's Pancake cozy series. This one did not disappoint, if anything I liked this even better than the pancake series! This was a charming story with wonderful characters, a great premise(love the literary pub!) and an excellent mystery! It was a easy read and kept me intrigued throughout. This will be a must read series for me going forward!
I received this book from NetGalley and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
