BOOK DESCRIPTION, FROM AMAZON

Susan Breen introduces a charming new series heroine in this poignant and absorbing cozy mystery with a bite. Maggie Dove thinks everyone in her small Westchester County community knows everyone else’s secrets. Then murder comes to town.

When Sunday School teacher Maggie Dove finds her hateful next-door neighbor Marcus Bender lying dead under her beloved oak tree—the one he demanded she cut down—she figures the man dropped dead of a mean heart. But Marcus was murdered, and the prime suspect is a young man Maggie loves like a son. Peter Nelson was the worst of Maggie’s Sunday School students; he was also her late daughter’s fiancé, and he’s been a devoted friend to Maggie in the years since her daughter’s death.

Maggie can’t lose Peter, too. So she sets out to find the real murderer. To do that, she must move past the grief that has immobilized her all these years. She must probe the hidden corners of her little village on the Hudson River. And, when another death strikes even closer to home, Maggie must find the courage to defend the people and the town she loves—even if it kills her.

MY THOUGHTS

 

Maggie Dove loved her beautiful tree, her neighbor Bender hated the tree because it obstructed his view while he painted.  Maggie had just about enough of him and stayed up ready to have a fight with him if he touched her tree.  Maggie fell asleep waiting to confront Bender but when she woke she got more than she bargained for, there was a dead body on her lawn.  That’s when things kept getting worse for her friends and the community.

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery, I read through it quickly because it kept my interest.  I enjoyed the back stories of all the characters and I loved the way she interacted with people and she even found the good in the meanest of kids that she taught.  I am glad there is a book two coming and I hope to see more.  A great read!

Recipe: Peach Crisp

I have never made a crisp before, so I searched Pinterest for a recipe that looked good. I stopped by the blog TASTES BETTER FROM SCRATCH, and followed the recipe exact. What a great recipe, the crisp was delicious. Please stop by her site for the complete recipe.

Philosophy Uplifting Miracle Worker

I received a FREE trial of Philosophy Uplifting Miracle Worker from Smiley 360 recently.  After trying the product for over a week, I was truly impressed.  I did indeed find it cooling when I applied it to my neck and face and I did immediately notice a firming in my skin.  I also noticed a difference in a photo that my skin actually appeared firmer especially in my neck area.  I was glad to have a chance to try this product and would recommend it.

**I RECEIVED A SAMPLE FOR FREE FOR THE PURPOSE OF AN HONEST REVIEW**
