Apple Orchard Cozy Mystery Series: Box Set One (Books 1-3) (Apple Orchard Cozy Mystery Boxset Book 1) Kindle Edition

I thought these were really good cozy mysteries. The characters are really good and the storylines were well done. Chelsea and Miss May’s antics are fun to read about

Weddings are some of the most wonderful days of a person`s life. Also the riskiest and potentially dangerous, definitely life changing.Especially for Chelsea Rae Thomas who made it to the vows before her intended made a run for it. Life Lesson: Let your partner speak first.Six months of self pity later, Chelsea is offered (or rather dragged into) a new life and opportunity by the irrepressible Miss May. Unfortunately, part of this opportunity involves another wedding, one Chelsea can not avoid. This time the groom does NOT walk away.Miss May and her best friend Teeny are fascinating, in a horrible train wreck sort of way. You can not stop watching to see what they will get up to next or whose lives they will tamper with.This book has all the elements cozy mystery readers adore quirky characters, nosy neighbors, an interfering amateur sleuth, handsome law man, and plenty of persons with motive and opportunity. In this case, the means was conveniently right at hand.The authors of this series, yes, plural, have experience writing screenplays. That means they are well versed in show not tell. A cozy mystery, especially a character driven story, depends upon dialogue. In my opinion they have done an excellent job not only using dialogue to move the story forward but to give depth to characters and increase the readers` curiosity and experience.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.I look forward to see where they take us next.Once again, a collection of quirky and crazy as well as cozy when three amateur sleuths team up to best the local cops at solving a crime. As these intrepid ladies munch their way to the truth, lives are put on the line and this time the trio travel miles to solve a complicated murder or two.A red herring or two are involved as well as a tarot card spread.No karate chops necessary in this book!

Book 1: Apple DieA trio of amateur investigators.What does a lawyer, a restaurateur, and a jilted bride have in common? They all (some more than others) want to play amateur detective to solve a local murder. This was a cute cozy mystery.It was an entertaining, well-written, fun, and easy read. What a great way to start off a new series.Book 2: Cooking the BooksA girl has to do what a girl has to do.The sleazy town ‘wealth manager’ turns up dead at the annual Pine Grove Winter Festival. Named as the chief suspect in the murder is a close friend of Chelsea and Aunt May. The local police force doesn’t seem to be capable of conducting a proper investigation. Aunt May and Chelsea feel they must conduct their own amateur investigation to prove the innocence of their friend. Teeny, the zany third wheel of the group, adds a bit of humor to the story with her outlandish antics.This was a well-written, fun, entertaining, and easy read providing an enjoyable evening of reading.Book 3: Candy Apple KillerThis murder is a little too close to home.Another murder on Aunt May’s farm? Poisoned with one of Aunt May’s candy apples? Aunt May’s farmhand, KP, accused of murder? The hunky detective, Wayne Hudson, giving Chelsea the cold shoulder? Is there something in the water or what?Aunt May and Chelsea, along with their zany third wheel Teeny, are going to have to solve this murder mystery on their own. What is up with the detective these days? I thought there was romance in the air. That is another mystery to itself.This was a particularly good whodunit with plenty of red herrings along the way. A good, clean, cozy mystery that I recommend for a nice evening read.I have been binge reading this series the past few days. I just love Chelsea and her Aunt May. Teeny is even growing on me even though her antics are sometimes a little over the top. I highly recommend to those who enjoy reading good cozy mysteries.

This is an easy read.funny,thrilling, adventurous.the characters are easy to follow (not to easy that you figure it out .lol).I look forward to next set and next book.

Apple PieGood flowing plot and I like the characters. Miss May came to the rescue for Chelsea and had some good ideas of how to get her active and out among people again. Teeny was a delight with her British ways. Murder and MissMay is all for finding who. A delightful story.Cooking The BooksMurder once again and they want these three to solve. The guy was dishonest in his dealings and people didn’t like him, but who did the dirty deed, a lot of mayhem as they try to figure this one out. Good charactersCandy ApplesThe mayhem this trio find, and now more murder. A snooty couple and poisoned apples make a delightful plot .Good characters, Series is enjoyable.

Cute characters, a mystery that wasn't easy to solve, and a funny little romance that teased its way thru the story. I got it as a set and have no idea where book 1 ended and book 3 began, so I think I would have been disappointed if I read them one at a time. Otherwise it was a nice, light break in my more serious reading.

I tried. I read a few chapters of the first book and was just bored. Very American too (I'm in the UK) - I have read other US-centred books and enjoyed them but I just didn't find any of the characters or situations engaging or believable. The set might have been cheap to buy but it was still a waste of money as far as I'm concerned.

If you are new to cosy mysteries. Then this is a good set to get. The three books are all set in pinewood but the murders are all completely different. The would be sleuths are Miss May, Charlie and Tweeny. All are great characters and think they are better at solving crimes than the local police. If you want a life heated, sometimes funny story then I recommend these three books to read

This is a wonderful collection of murder mysteries which will get you hooked from the first page to the very last page. There are three tales in this selectionI received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It took me a little while to get into the stories. The first two books I would have possibly given 3 stars if I’d read individually but as the books progress you being to like the characters more.Three easy reading, standard cozy mysteries with a few twists and turns to keep you guessing.

These books are a delightful read. The sort you can pick up and put down. They do keep you guessing as any good who dun it should
