    This is the 14th book in the Garden Girls Cozy Mystery Series by Hope Callaghan. Andrea Malone is vacationing with her parents in Nantucket, Massachusetts and thinking of calling off her engagement to Brian Sellers. Gloria Rutherford-Kennedy, Ruth and the Garden Girls decide to go on a cross-country road trip in search of Andrea. Andrea disappears and her old boyfriend comes to town then Sean is found murdered. Brian is being framed for the murder of Sean while searching for Andrea. Gloria and the Garden Girls search for Andrea to clear Brian's name and reunite the couple. The Garden Girls have more than they bargained for trying to prove Brian's innocence while Andrea's parents are hiding something. I really enjoyed this fantastic cozy mystery suspense novel. There is a delicious dessert recipe included in the book.

    This is the first book that I have read in this series - and I loved it! The characters were well developed, and the action was very well paced. The humor of a group trip to Nantucket, with the intent of talking Brian's girlfriend Andrea into coming back and marrying him, is incredible. You have to love Gloria and her friends - they are down to earth, small town nice, and filled with energy!

    Of course, there is the murder ... and they don't want to see Brian blamed for it. That will never do! And the small things - like the recording device built into the van! And the testing of bullet proof coatings! Before they even leave, they find that Andrea has disappeared!

    This is a really nice, laid back cozy that was fun to read.

    I’ve determined from my binge reading of Hope Callaghan’s cozy mysteries this past week, that this author could not ever write a story that was dull. The Garden Girls mysteries are wonderful.it’s nice to know that life doesn’t end at sixty. These characters are all dependable, fun, multi-layered, and surprising. The plots are always great. The guilty party is a surprise every time.

    Thanks for a great read Hope Callaghan.

    As with every book in this series, a twist in the plot makes you go, “I didn’t see that happening!!” Whether you are reading the whole series or as an individual book, you won’t be disappointed. The group of friends have a great time figuring out who murdered the victim. Fun read!

    I enjoyed this book. It's # 14 in the Garden Girls series but it's the first I've read. I had no problems picking up the friendships and dynamics of the ladies. Andrea has gone to visit her parents and is now refusing to come home and marry Brian who is recovered from an attack in a previous book. The girls organize a road trip to see what's going on. Funny and a good cozy to solve.
