About this audiobook
Megan Sawyer is determined to farm year-round. She's braving a December snowstorm after pitching her greenhouse greens to Philadelphia chefs when she sees a stranger stranded on the side of the road. It's Merry Chance's niece Becca, and she's headed to Winsome to sell her love potions at holiday events - or so she thinks. Merry has an ulterior motive in inviting her niece to Winsome, but her plan to reunite Becca with her estranged father goes awry when Becca's father turns up dead.
Megan soon realizes that Becca was not the only person in Winsome who despised her father. When Megan's aunt, the famous mystery author, is implicated by her novels, things become personal. Megan must follow the literary rules while sifting through the victim's sordid past, but can she uncover the truth before someone else in Winsome is murdered?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wendy Tyson is one of my go to authors and this title did not disappoint me. I had a great time reading this book and trying to solve the mystery. The characters and setting were everything that I love about a cozy!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5really enjoyed this mystery. I received this for free and I voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 5* rating. This is the 3rd in the Greenhouse Mysteries Series. These seem to get better as I go along or it's just that I'm getting into the characters more. These could be read alone but I think you would enjoy them more if you read them in order. This was another hard to put down story. I read late into the next morning on this. It pulled me into the story fast. A lot of action in this one, coated with a lot of snow as you get closer to the holidays. It was well worth the read. (less)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's the Christmas holidays in Winsome, Pennsylvania, and Megan Sawyer is on her way home after a business trip to Philadelphia. She picks up a stranded motorist on the side of the road during a snowy evening. The young woman, Becca Fox, turns out to be the niece of Merry Chance, and she's been invited to town to sell her products during the season. But when Megan drops the young woman off at Merry's home, there's another visitor - Becca's father Paul, and while he apparently wants to speak with her the reaction from Becca is completely malevolent. It's obvious she hates her father, but never more so than when she accuses him of murdering her mother years before.Little does Megan know that this family's appearance in town will bring attacks on its townspeople instead of the reunion that Merry envisioned. When Paul is found dead and it's later determined to be homicide, the natural suspect is Becca. When the young woman shows signs of being mentally unstable, even the police chief is convinced she's guilty. But Megan isn't so sure, and when the attacks are somehow connected to her great aunt Sarah, Megan stumbles upon secrets from Sarah's past that could be a clue.While Police Chief Bobby King - young but gaining experience quickly - is convinced he's got the right person for the murder, Megan isn't so sure. She continues exploring possible suspects to Bobby's chagrin, and the more she digs, the more she learns that Paul Fox was a master manipulator with a horde of enemies left behind. As her peaceful life starts to become unraveled by the devastation around her, she realizes she's in a race against time to find the person who really killed Paul, but little does she know she's also in a race against time to save herself...This book is the third in the series and in my opinion is the best yet. Like a fine wine, Ms. Tyson's Greenhouse Mysteries only gets better with age. She is not only a talented writer, she is a talented storyteller as well. Her plots are well written, suspenseful and with enough twists and turns to keep us absorbed in the narrative.This was a delightful tale of suspense and revenge, with a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure. The characters are given the full depth treatment: these are people who are animated and lively, fully dimensional and believable. Megan and her family and friends make the town of Winsome come alive, and I consider myself lucky to be able to share in their adventures.When we come to the end and the murderer is revealed, it was put together in a deft manner that made all the pieces fall in place easily. While not completely unexpected, it didn't matter as the journey itself was an enjoyable read. Highly recommended and I look forward to the next in the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I like this series. It's cozy but it's not silly or shallow. The characters are all likeable and realistic, the MC isn't TSTL, and the author doesn't fool with silly love triangles or an evil nemesis. The mysteries are usually well-plotted too, although this one was not Tyson's best effort; the murderer was so obvious I was getting exasperated. She makes up for it in diabolical-ness though, and I loved the part Becca's aunt plays in the mystery. This was a Christmastime book I almost missed in my TBR pile, although there's not a heap of Christmas spirit. It is set in the midst of a very, very snowy winter though so it makes it perfect for my Winter Solstice/Yuletide square. Book themes for Yuletide: Read a book set in the midst of a snowy or icy winter.
