Description
About the Book
Bailey King, star of TV's Bailey's Amish Sweets, is building her dream candy factory in Harvest, Ohio. But no sooner is the frame of the new building up than she finds the dead body of a surly contractor who has a long list of enemies--including people in the Amish community. To add to the drama, Bailey is being filmed by a crew for her upcoming show. . . When Bailey's TV producer pitched a reality show about building the factory, Bailey was shocked that the network picked it up. She's not shocked that many of the Amish working on the jobsite refuse to be on camera. However, local community organizer Margot Rawlings is ecstatic--because the filming coincides with Harvest's First Annual Blueberry Bash. Margot believes the media attention will make Harvest the most popular destination in Holmes County. Bailey will have to sift through a crowd of angry villagers and thousands of blueberries to solve the murder, save her new venture, and protect her Amish friends. At the same time, she and her longtime boyfriend, Aiden Brody, are making big decisions about their future together--a future that may be in jeopardy if Bailey is the next pick on a killer's list . . .Book Synopsis

Praise for Amanda Flower's Amish Candy Shop Mysteries: "This quirky whodunit--book four in the beloved Amish Candy Shop Mystery series-comes to life."--Woman's World, Book Club Pick on Toxic Toffee "Toxic Toffee agreeably mixes candymaking with murder investigation, and Bailey's ease with the community enables her to extract critical information in a place where the locals tend to clam up around "English" police. I love reading about the Amish, and I gobbled up this fast-paced, well-written novel that even brought tears to my eyes at the end." --Mystery Scene "Flower's mysteries are always welcome, and this series is wacky and warm, with just enough mystery to intrigue." --Akron Beacon Journal on Toxic Toffee "The quirky characters are colorful and fun to read. Flowers skillfully blends Amish and 'English' characters with a mystery that keeps the reader sleuthing along with Bailey. Prepare for a few smiles as Jethro the pig and Nutmeg the cat are back, as they are joined with Puff the bunny." --Crimespree Magazine on Toxic Toffee "Amanda Flower delivers a funny mystery full of twists that never misses a beat with plenty of heart, danger, comedy, and candy." --Seattle Book Review on Premeditated Peppermint "It's only been a few weeks since Bailey King's Amish grandfather died, but she's already taken on the responsibility of running his candy shop in the Holmes County community of Harvest." --Akron Beacon Journal on Lethal Licorice, an ABJ Best Local Books Choice for 2018 "Flower launches her new series by evoking the nightmare nuptials of The Final Vow (2017), throwing in a few Pennsylvania Dutch words to provide atmosphere in a cozy as light as the heroine's handmade mousse." --Kirkus Reviews on Assaulted Caramel "A promising start to a new series. I really enjoyed meeting Bailey's grandmother (Maami) and grandfather (Daadi) and learning a little more about the Amish way of life. Check it out!" --Suspense Magazine on Assaulted Caramel

Blueberry Blunder by Amanda Flower is a witty tale. I laughed often while reading this story. I enjoyed returning to Harvest, Ohio for the Blueberry Bash. I felt bad for Bailey King who has her hands full with making candy for Swissmen Sweets, the construction of the new factory, the filming of her new show, and Jethro (Juliet’s polka dotted pig) constantly being foisted on her. Juliet takes advantage of Bailey. She should not continually thrust Jethro on Bailey (Juliet needs a pig sitter). Jethro is one mischievous pig who can only be left unsupervised at nap time. I felt bad for Nutmeg who had to share her bed at Swissmen Sweets with the polka dotted porker. I like that we are getting to know more about Charlotte. She is really coming out of her shell. Charlotte is getting to marry the love of her life in just a few days. Harvest’s First Annual Blueberry Bash provided many laugh out loud moments. The Blueberry Princesses dress and throne are indeed something. I had to laugh when I learned who came up with the idea for the festival and why. I do not know if it will help the person or not (I hope it does). Harvest is a blend of Amish and Englisch. Millie and Lois from Amanda Flower’s An Amish Matchmaker Mysteries are included. Lois is a hoot. Millie and Lois are polar opposites in looks, but they both have good hearts. The mystery was straightforward. I knew who would die and the identity of the guilty party before the crime took place. The reason why took me a little longer to untangle. My reading enjoyment was not dimmed by this knowledge. I had a fun time following Bailey on her latest adventure. I am glad Aiden is returning to town (it is about time). The ending made me happy. I see changes ahead in Harvest. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next An Amish Candy Shop Mystery. Blueberry Blunder can be read as a standalone for those new to the series, but I recommend reading this entertaining series in order. I like Amanda Flower’s writing style. It is friendly and engaging. I was drawn immediately drawn into Blueberry Blunder. It is a lighthearted story that made me laugh. My visit to Harvest was over far too soon. Blueberry Blunder is a comical cozy with a blueberry bash, a construction catastrophe, a poufy princess dress, a playful pig, a killed contractor, blended nuptials, and a special surprise.
