BOOK 4: Death By Dumplings

Upon returning home from her recent Smoky Mountain adventure, "Garden Girl" Gloria Rutherford wants nothing more than to relax and unwind on her farm. After a good night's rest, she decides to catch up with her close friends, aka, The Garden Girls at their favorite hangout, Dot's Restaurant.

There's just one small problem. As Gloria pulls into the small town of Belhaven, she finds Dot's place swarming with cops and the restaurant itself taped off with crime scene tape. Someone at the restaurant has been poisoned after eating Dot's famous Chicken 'n Dumplings!

Dot and her husband Ray, are devastated and now must try to clear their name. When they ask Gloria to help, she jumps right into detective-mode and is hot on the trail of another killer.

The list of suspects widens as Gloria uncovers a pile of motives - some from residents in their own little town. Desperate to clear her good friends' names, she discovers the killer may be a little too close for comfort.


BOOK 5: Eye Spy

"Garden Girl" Gloria Rutherford is having a bad day. A really bad day. Just when she thinks it couldn't possibly get any worse, it does.

The sleepy little town of Belhaven has just been invaded by a swarm of federal authorities sent to investigate the local post office and it's postmaster, who just so happens to be one of Gloria's best friends, Ruth.

When Ruth is put on temporary leave pending the outcome of the investigation, she asks Gloria if she can come and stay with her until the crisis is over. Gloria doesn't have the heart to turn her down.

With Ruth underfoot and the uncertainty of not knowing how long the "official investigation" might take, Gloria has never been more motivated to solve a mystery!

Knowing she'll need every trick up her sleeve, plus a little help from her friends and from the other Garden Girls, she'll do whatever it takes to help her friend and save her own sanity!

Can she get Ruth back to work and her cozy life back to normal - or will Gloria have a new, permanent houseguest?


BOOK 6: Magnolia Mansion Mysteries

There's no place like home! But what if "home" happens to be the town's mysterious, rundown, mansion? At least that's what young Andrea Malone keeps asking herself ever since she bought the vacant, dilapidated house months ago.

Determined to put down roots in the cozy little town of Belhaven, she gets busy managing the much-needed renovations in order to revive the old house and restore it to the grandiose mansion it once was.

With the renovations nearly complete, the mysterious house begins to reveal secrets from its troubled past.

On the same day that her quirky parents arrive in town for a visit, Andrea makes a shocking discovery that has her questioning if she should spend another night in the house.

She calls on her friend and amateur sleuth, Gloria Rutherford, to help her get to the bottom of the mysteries that surround the mansion.

The more clues Gloria uncovers, the deeper the mysteries get. She discovers that some of the local town folk would prefer that the secrets remain buried in the past.

Could a killer be living in their midst?

    This is a good series and i am glad i got started on it. Hopefully they will bundle the rest of the books like they did this set.
    For the most part the stories are well written, easy to connect with the characters and you kind of want to go visit Gloria on the farm. The thing that brought the rating down is the repetition of information about the other characters and events. Telling me once in a book about another character is fine but to do it two or three times gets annoying.

    I am supposed to be on a paid ebook diet. Uh, I backslid and fell from grace. As soon as I finished reading the Garden Girls I got free, I went and downloaded as many more as I could afford. Well, okay, more than I could afford. If I ever manage to come up with the funds, I'll get more of them. Clean, brelidious, amuzing fun.

    This series is an easy read and entertaining. It is easy to get to know the likable characters. I just finished volume 6 , and went back and bought 7 and 8, so you would have to say I am enjoying the series. I must also say, I usually have the "who done it" figured out in most cozies, but these, not so much.
