A good book. Well written with great characters and a good plot. The storyline flows and the mystery is enjoyable. I highly recommend.,

This is book #7 in the Vintage Kitchen series. I really wanted to love this book, but came away feeling that it was just ok. I had to pick the story up several times before I really got interested in it enough to finish.

Jaymie, our amateur sleuth, lives in Michigan with her new husband and his daughter. Jaymie connects with a cranky elderly woman to borrow some vintage nut graters as part of an educational program she hopes to put on at the local history museum. As she spends more time with the woman, she discovers someone has set out to harm her. When Jaymie finds the woman injured at the bottom of the stairs, she summons help and the mystery begins.

I did like the story of Jaymie and her friends, and once I was finally able to get into the story, I enjoyed the writing. I think if I had read previous stories in the series, it may have been easier to get into the story.

Thanks to #NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

No Grater Danger by Victoria Hamilton is the seventh story in A Vintage Kitchen Mystery series. UI have only read the last two, so am confident in saying you can read these as standalone stories, but you might miss some character building. Jaymie Leighton Muller is enjoying her new life married to Jakob and taking care of her stepdaughter, Jocie. In this story she was thrilled, the first time Jocie called her mommy. Jaymie is volunteering at Jocie's school and is asked to assist in a new program that involves teaching through objects. Mrs. Stubbs, the school principal, suggests Jaymie talk with her cousin, Lois Perry who owns a large collection of spice graters along with other historical objects to do with the spice trade. Lois is a recluse who is being harrassed by Fergus Baird, a local developer to sell him her waterfront property. When Jaymie arrives for a meeting with Lois, she finds her at the bottom of the back stairs. Jaymie finds a wire across the stairs as well as the information that this is not the first time someone has tried to kill her. Jaymie sets out to find the person behind this because the next attempt on Lois’ life could be successful.

No Grater Danger is well written with a great pace and interesting storyline. Jaymie is a great main character and I love her family unit. She and Jakob are on the same wavelength and as busy as they are, they make time for family and each other. There are many wonderful moments in the story with family time as well as time with friends, cooking, eating, and shopping, Lois is a feisty, intelligent and stubborn woman who comes from a different time and has different values and beliefs. Queensville, Michigan is a lovely town with quaint shops and I appreciate how they want to preserve their history. I love the fact that they live on a Christmas tree farm. The writing is very descriptive describing items and events. The mystery is well-crafted with a twist that surprised me. There are red herrings and multiple suspects as well the murder of another character. Jaymie actively questions suspects and seeks clues to aid her investigation, with some of those questioned not being very forthcoming or happy about Jaymie's interference. Some reviewers figured out the culprit early in the story, I didn't, but I did figure it out before the reveal. I wanted to keep reading to discover the why as well as to see if Jaymie figures it out and/or puts herself in danger. I definitely recommend this to any cozy mystery lover, especially those who enjoy Victoria Hamilton books. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book upon request. The rating, ideas and opinions stated are my own.

This is book 7 in the Vintage Kitchen series and can be read as a stand alone. This is a good cozy series, the mystery is solvable and the characters are fun to be with. Jaymie is excited to meet an elderly woman who has a vintage collection of spice graters. She discover that Lois is being threatened and someone is trying to kill her or frame her for murder. One of her grater's is a murder weapon. Between the real estate developer tho wants her land to the town folk that want some economical development there is a long list of suspects. Set in Upper Michigan the small town is an interesting place I'd like to visit. You'll want to catch up with some additional background from the previous books if you liked this one. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Now that Jaymie Leighton Muller has taken on the job of wife and stepmother, she has been working with the school principal and been asked to create a program that teaches through object. She's decided to teach about the Spice trade and enlists the help of Lois Perry, an elder lady whose family made their fortune in spices and their home is even known as the Nutmeg Palace. On a visit to puck up a few vintage nutmeg graters, Jaymie finds Mrs. Perry at the bottom of the steps in her home seriously injured. Someone tried to kill her! Why? Was it for the inheritance, the properties that a developer is trying to buy? When the developer is found dead on Mrs. Perry's property - murdered - and other attempts on Mrs. Perry's life come to light, things are turning serious and Jaymie not only has to protect Mrs. Perry but herself as well.

I love this series, the details of the vintage items as well as the characters and setting.

I was thrilled to see the return of this series and the likable Jaymie Leighton. I am always reminded of something in my grandmother's kitchen when various type of antique kitchen ware are described. I liked how Jaymie delved into the problems of a local elderly woman who seemed to be the victim of many scams. Preying on the elderly is a very timely issue and worked well for Jaymie's mystery. The book is well done and there are great secondary characters to round out the book. Fans of both mysteries and vintage cookware will be intrigued.

This was the first book I've read of Victoria Hamilton, and I very much enjoyed it. Though it's the 7th in the series, it can be read as a stand alone without too many issues. I love cozies, and this was a particularly good one. I'd definitely recommend it, and I will be looking for more from this author.

This is the seventh book in the Vintage Kitchen Mystery series. The quality of the books has been uneven, but this entry was strong. Jaymie Leighton has gotten married and settled down, but she still likes to sleuth! The cast of characters is strong and interesting and the book is well-written.

I recommend this book. Thanks to Beyond the Page Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ahh, Victoria Hamilton you have done it again! What a mystery you have created here. I have loved this series from the first book and though haven't always stayed in order, it is like returning to a favorite nook for a cup of tea. It will delight, entice and drive a reader to want to solve the murder. I think that this series keeps building to be better and better. I sorely wish it would become the next Hallmark mystery series. It would be such a book to see on TV.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I do love a cosy mystery and can be ready as a standalone but would be good to have related to some of the Vintage Kitchen Mystery characters.

'No Grater Danger' is a delightful cozy about the life of newlywed Jaymie Muller and her husband and his unique daughter Jocie. The story is well told, with great descriptions of life in northern Michigan and of all the intriguing cast of characters. There were many opportunities to suspect who was attempting murder and why, as only a skilled author can provide. I'm going to obtain the previous books in the series and enjoy learning even more about the people of Queensville.

Having newly married Jakob and was in the process of forming a bonding relationship with her new stepdaughter Jocie, Jaymie realized it was a work in progress and she didn’t want to ruin that opportunity. But with someone trying to harm and now kill elderly Mrs. Perry the self-appointed matriarch of the town, Jaymie sleuthing mode was activated, When she literally found a body on Mrs, Perry property she couldn’t help but investigate, her curiosity peaked, and her love for solving mysteries couldn’t be denied, she could only pray it doesn’t derail her newly formed relationship with her loved ones. Intriguing and captivating, this book makes a wonderful intriguing cozy read, it truly should make your must-read list.

No Grater Danger by Victoria Hamilton is the 7th in the Vintage Kitchen Mysteries series but the first one I have read.
The first few chapters I was lost due to having so many characters brought in at once. I would have to stop and remember who they all were but once the story got into the base mystery, I truly enjoyed the book.
One of my favorite things about the book was the unconventional protagonist. She is not only a newly wed but a step parent to a special needs daughter who makes time for herself by having girls nights with her friends.
I also enjoyed the vintage kitchen items and the antiques.
The story has enjoyable and relatable characters and a setting that will have you wanting to go to Queensville for a visit. There were plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end.
I was given a copy of the book for an honest review by Netgalley.

No Grater Danger by Victoria Hamilton is the seventh book in A Vintage Kitchen Mystery series and the first that I've read.

Our main character, Jaymie has recently married and has a special needs step-daughter. I liked the way that character is incorporated and that family life appears to be accurately portrayed. This story has the sleuth considering how her actions will impact on her family. Jaymie is adjusting to the we versus me syndrome many married couples go through.

The story is well crafted, well-written, and plausible. Give this a try if you haven’t read any in the series.

Princess Fuzzypants here: Jaymie is settling down into wedded bliss and motherhood and loving every moment. She is such a busy woman with her family, friends, and community she is on the go constantly. As a member of of the Heritage Committee, she talks one of the doyennes of the community into lending some vintage grinders to teach children about the past. When Jaymie arrives to pick up the pieces a nutmeg grater is missing. That in itself is not overly alarming. The attacks upon the lady which leaves her in serious condition in the hospital and the body found in the garden of her home with said grater in his mouth certainly is.
Who is behind the attacks and the other thefts of valuables in town? Is it the local developer who wants waterfront property the lady is unwilling to sell? Is it the niece who will inherit everything upon the lady’s demise? Or is it someone else? Jaymie, in spite of her best intentions, gets involved and uncovers the villains but not before her life is in danger. I like that Jaymie does not seek out danger nor does she try to fly above the law. Trouble still finds her but that keeps up the suspense.
This is a charming series with great characters. It never hurts that the locales are close to home for me. It is fun to be able to visualize the familiar as well as be carried along by the story.
I give it four purrs and two paws up.

Once again, I delved into a series that was well established. And? This book was fantastic! However, I know nothing of antiques so I admit that I spent a great deal of time in the beginning looking up what some words meant. I am not someone who can skip over a word I don't know and move on, especially if I don't know if it will be important later. I enjoy books that teach me something new though so I appreciated it. If you are an antique fanatic, you have just found a cozy in your niche. As for the mystery itself, it doesn't matter if you figure out who dunnit or not, you will not see some things coming. There is an included recipe at the end of the book, which is great considering the main character is writing a vintage cookbook; I wish there had been more than one though.

I absolutely LOVED that there is a blended family and that the child has a special need. I appreciated how it was handled and that it was written in such a way as to give the reader a very authentic, genuine view of what that means to a family. I liked how a small moment was spent with the main character while she reflected on changes in how she emotionally reacted to situations now that she's married compared to how she did when she was single. I thoroughly appreciated how I could feel the close knit friendships of the "girls group" and how it was as important in its own way as her marriage and her husband supported that.

Overall, I found this to be a well-written story with developed characters, relate-able moments, a unique perspective, and perfectly layered. If you're a fan of cozy mysteries, antiques, or just looking for something a little different to read, I highly recommend you give this a try.

Thank you to Beyond the Page Publishing, Victoria Hamilton, and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book and share my honest opinions with others.

I love a book that has a different background, and this author definitely delivers with having her main character in vintage cookware. The plot is well written and executed to perfection! The characters were enchanting and the mystery top notch. As always, this author delivers a great mystery!

This is the seventh book in the Vintage Kitchen series and I do enjoy this series. Jayme and Jakob are settling into married life and Jayme is about to embark on a new teaching gig and the Queensville Heritage House. She needs the help of her friend Mrs. Stubbs to put in the good word with Mrs. Perry to use her antique graters. Jayme and Mrs. Perry hit it off and unfortunately when Jayme goes to pick up the graters she finds Mrs. Perry hurt at the bottom of her stairs. She is still alive but another dead body pops up. Jayme is once again sleuthing to find out what is going on. An enjoyable read and great addition to this series. Waiting for the next one!

No Grater Danger by Victoria Hamilton is the 7th book in A Vintage Kitchen Mystery series, and another great addition. I loved this book and this whole series, and can't wait for the next book in the series. I found this book to be a quick and fun read, with a well developed plot and characters. If you love fun cozy mysteries, which are my favorite, you will love this book. Strongly recommended.
