I've really enjoyed reading Peg Cochran's Cranberry Cove series. Peg writes great characters. The mystery was good and had me guessing up until the big reveal.

This is a pretty fast-paced cozy mystery. I haven't read any of the previous books in the series, but I didn't feel like this book referred to too many details from previous books, other than minor things with some recurring characters. Other than that, the book stood well on its own. The pace of the story seemed abrupt at times, switching to new situations or new conversations pretty quickly with no smooth transitions between scenes or settings. It's also a clean read. I didn't feel like the solution to the murder was unexpected. I didn't feel like the solution to the murder was unexpected or that there were any real twists to the story. Also, there are two recipes included in the back of the book. I expected there to be several more, based off the amount of recipes/food dishes mentioned throughout the book, so I was a bit disappointed to only find two. I would have loved more of the cranberry dishes mentioned. I am looking forward to trying the cranberry apple cake!! If you like light cozy mysteries, this is a series you would probably enjoy!

This is the first book that I have read from the Cranberry Cove mystery series. I think if I had read the previous books before this one, I would have had a better feel for the characters. As it is though, I just didn't find myself very interested in the characters for this series. It also seems like more and more lately, cozies are starting to focus more on a relationship and romance than on the actual mystery. I don't mind romance. It is actually one of my favorite genres, but I would prefer it not be the main focus of a mystery. When it takes away from the suspense and intrigue, I start to lose interest.

I did like the setting of this story. It is what originally made me interested in reading this book. I might go back and start at the beginning of this series to see if I feel any differently.

I also enjoy reading the latest from Peg Cochran. This one had me on the edge of my seat and thinking of a bright blue water with a beach. I think that this series just continues to grow in strength and has this serious fan begging for more!

It's the social event of the year in Cranberry Cove as Monica and Greg marry and have their reception at the Cranberry Yacht Club. This is book 4 in the Cranberry Cove series and it's a wonderful addition by the author. A summer resident is found next morning, dead on his boat with a large list of potential murderers. This cozy is wonderfully written and includes all sorts of recipes and facts about the yummy cranberry. A good who done it with a healthy dose of local gossip and romance. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

BERRIED AT SEA finds Monica and Greg’s wedding upon us, and Monica embroiled in yet another murder investigation when her college friend Andrea’s disruptive husband Bruce is found dead by the newlyweds and Andrea is the prime suspect. Of course, there is no shortage of suspects, and Monica searches to clear her friend’s name.

Most of this installment covers the day to day dealings of the characters, and the murder mystery is almost an afterthought. Still interesting and enjoyable to read, especially if you like the characters from previous books, but I wish there had been more about the wedding itself and the investigation. Bruce’s killer was far too easy to identify. There is a new recurring character and all the cranberry farm details one has come to expect from the series.

After the recent culling of cozy mysteries by a popular publisher, I was excited to see the Cranberry Cove Mystery series picked up by Beyond the Page. BERRIED AT SEA is not my favorite of the series but still entertaining. It can be read as a standalone, but I would suggest reading the prior books. Recommended to fans of the series and cozy readers who don’t mind a less emphasized mystery.

I was pleased to see this series continuing, with a wedding to boot! The wedding makes a great setting and event for all the characters to come together and for multiple suspects and red herrings. I enjoyed following along with Monica's sleuthing and thought processes. It's one that is a more realistic cozy, and I always like the addition of recipes too.

I was thrilled to see that the Cranberry Cove Mystery series was given new life by Beyond the Page Publishing. This is one of my favorite series, by one of my must read authors, Peg Cochran

One of the best installments yet, BERRIED AT SEA had me rooted to my chair. I read this book in one setting, drawn into the joy of Monica and Greg being married, the excitement of the murder and whodunit, and finally the surprising reveal.

Great writing, love, mystery, and recipes. I couldn't ask for more from a cozy mystery than what Ms. Cochran delivered in, BERRIED AT SEA.

A wedding and a murder. I really liked this book. it is the 4th nook in the series and I love the character development. I love cozy mysteries set in small towns and Cranberry Cove along the shores of Lake Michigan is a good one. Thanks netgalley for the free arc . the review is my opinion.

Berried at Sea by Peg Cochran is the fourth novel in A Cranberry Cove Mystery series. Monica Albertson is marrying Greg Harper in Cranberry Cove, Michigan. Monica recently ran into her old college friend, Andrea Bowman in town and invited her and her new husband, Bruce to the wedding. She soon regrets inviting Andrea and her boisterous, disagreeable husband. Bruce is later found dead in a boat washed up on the beach by the newlyweds. An upset Andrea stops by Sassamanash Farm to ask Monica to use her sleuthing skills to track down Bruce’s killer. It turns out that Bruce was not well-liked and there are a number of people who are not saddened by his death. Monica has barely begun her deep dive when Andrea is arrested. She knows Andrea is innocent and intends to prove it. Who disliked Bruce enough to kill him? Monica wades through the suspect list and the clues to reveal the killer.

Berried at Sea is nicely written, easy to read and has a good pace. It is much shorter than the previous books in this series. I like the characters in A Cranberry Cove Mystery series. They are well-developed and likeable. I like the addition of Kit Tanner, Monica’s new baking assistant. It is a good thing she hired him since she spent little time in the new kitchen. There are plenty of cozy moments (cooking, chatting, spending time with friends, and lovey dovey moments) as Monica gets married and settles into life with her new spouse. She is happy to spend time with her new hubby and is not particularly interested in sleuthing (that’s a change). Of course, Greg would prefer she not get involved. I do wish there had been more on the wedding (I felt shortchanged). It was interesting to find out about cranberry harvesting. The mystery was straightforward, and readers will have no problem identifying the culprit. You do not need many clues to figure it out (armchair sleuths will probably peg the killer without any assistance). Monica spends time questioning suspects, but there is little action until the end. The dominant feature of Berried at Sea is romance with the mystery far off in the horizon. Monica must also spend time consoling Gina. Jeff and Lauren are working on their wedding. Lauren keeps changing her mind about details. She was still dithering about her colors at the end (we will have to wait and see). Monica and Kit have noticed that groceries are missing. At the end, Monica believes she has stumbled upon the solution. I wish the author had fully resolved this storyline. I am giving Berried at Sea 3 out of 5 stars. I felt that it was not as good as the previous novels in this series.

This was the 4th installment in this series and a very quick read. Monica and Greg have gotten married and as they are walking on the beach they find the dead body of one of their guests. Talk about taking the plunge. Monica is sleuthing once again as the body is the husband of an old college friend and she is the prime suspect. I love the setting for this series as I am from Michigan and I love the setting. This was a solid effort. Hope this series continues.

Out protagonist is Monica Albertson. When this story opens, Monica is getting ready to marry Greg. The wedding goes off without a hitch until one of the wedding guests turns up dead the day after the ceremony. Inquisitive Monica just can't help getting involved in trying to find out who committed the murder.

Monica is smart and comes across as a natural in asking questions and following clues. I love that this is set in a small town on lake Michigan! The story moved along quickly and there was never a dull moment.

This is book #4 of the Cranberry Cove Mystery series. While it worked well as a stand alone, I think there is good cause to go back and read the other three books. I also want to read future books in this fun cozy series.

I received this book from Beyond the Page Publishing via Netgalley.

Peg Cochran’s Berried at Sea is the fourth installment in the Cranberry Cove Mystery series, and there is mention of dozens of mouthwatering cranberry dishes. Unfortunately there are only two recipes in this one, and only one of those uses cranberries. However, it’s a Cranberry Apple Cake and is delicious – a perfect dessert to eat while reading about amateur sleuth and newlywed, Monica Albertson Harper, who finds the dead body of her old college friend’s husband, and her involvement in solving the murder. There are twists and turns, and readers won’t know who the murderer is until the very end. The book is well-written, the characters are believable, and the scenarios are fun. The book is recommended for anyone who loves reading about food, and also for mystery lovers of all ages.

As I received this days before the pub date, I just had time to read it.
Berried At Sea is the fourth book in the A Cranberry Cove Mystery series and the first that I have read. This can be read as a standalone story.
This book is more about relationships than a who dunit mystery. I would put this in the chick lit category or romance before I would label it a mystery.
I have read really good reviews of the other books as mysteries and will give one of them a shot before abandoning this series.
I received an Advanced Reader’s Copy after the publishing date from Beyond the Page Publishing via Netgalley and am not required to give a positive review.

Berried at Sea by Peg Cochran is the 4th book in a Cranberry Cove series, and another fun addition. I really enjoy this series, but this book is my least favorite of the 4 so far. Monica and Greg are getting married during harvest season. When the husband of an old college friend dies, Monica sets out to find the killer. I can't wait for the next book in the series. I recomended this book and series for any cozy mystery lovers like me.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Berried at Sea, the latest (4th) installment in Peg Cochran's Cranberry Cove Mystery Series, had me guessing the identity of the murderer right up until the denouement - which is quite rare for me! Monica and Greg are finally married and enjoying their honeymoon when they stumble across a murdered man during a walk on the beach - a man who just happens to be the husband of Monica's old friend, Andrea. Monica is quickly enlisted by Andrea to find the murderer and clear her name, which she must do without rocking the boat of her new marriage. Nicely written, and yummy recipes included. A+

Book 4 in the series.

I was glad to see this series saved by a new publisher, but it definitely was not my favorite in the series. I understand that this was the "long awaited wedding," but there was just too much relationship and not enough cozy mystery. And what mystery there was was kind of easy to figure out.

This was a pretty quick read, since it was a fairly short novel.

I still like the characters and the setting of the cranberry bogs, I'd just like to see Ms. Cochran go back to focusing on the mystery. I read romances when I want romance, and cozies when I want more of a mystery.

A cozy mystery with a lotta love in the air to start, imagine a murder committed on the night of your wedding, marring the perfect finish to your special day. With the victim being someone everyone would have liked to get rid off. So to say he wasn’t missed was an understatement, Monica isn’t too eager to get involved in any sleuthing, she didn’t want to cause any rift with her new husband, but her friend whose husband was murdered roped her in to help solve his murder. This was a mild mystery piqued with a little intrigue and a lot of romance.

It is harvest season in Cranberry Cove, Michigan and the perfect time for the wedding of Monica Albertson and Greg Harper. Among the guests at the wedding reception at the Cranberry Cove Yacht Club are Andrea Laszlo, Monica's old college friend, and her boisterous new husband Bruce. The next morning, Bruce is found stabbed dead in his boat by the newlyweds. Monica reluctantly agrees to help Andrea to find Bruce's killer. It's odd that Monica freely takes time away from her cooking business and her new husband to do her snooping. And the identity of the killer was not a surprise.

I received an eARC via Netgalley and Beyond the Page Publishing with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and provided this review.

I have been a fan of this series from the start, and this last installment did not disappoint. I would love to live and thrive in that small town. It seems so perfectly magically with a nice dose of chaos thrown in so it doesn't get boring. I am so glad it starts with Monica's happily ever after, you can't help but root for her. For a character that seems at first so straight forward and no nonsense, she is delightfully awkward and flawed. The mystery was great, with everything tying together at the very end.
