Bailey King has just come back to Holmes County to help her grandmother in the candy shop, and it is time for the Harvest Christmas Festival. Christmas is Bailey's favorite time of the year. There are some funny characters in this book, there is Juliet and her pig Jethro. Also Margot the person in charge of the festival. Of course there has to be a murder, because we all know, if you are an avid reader of Amanda's books that Bailey is known for finding dead bodies. I thought for sure I knew who the killer was, but not was I wrong. I did not figure it out this time. I am not going to go into what the book was about, because it would just spoil it for you. If I could have given it more than 5 stars I would have. Amanda outdid herself again. Keep up the great writing!!!!

I received a digital copy from Kensington Books and NetGalley.

Premeditated Peppermint is the third book in the Amish Candy Shop series. This was my introduction to the series and I was able to figure out the characters, and what was going on without feeling lost.

I really enjoyed the book and as soon as I was finished, I wanted to read the first book in the series! This story takes place in Amish country around Christmastime. The characters were likable and down to earth, well most of them were. It was a fast read and I was surprised to see how the story ended.

This book will be released in late September.

This is the third book in the Amish candy shop series. Bailey King is getting ready for the Christmas season in Harvest , Ohio. She gets a surprise when her ex boyfriend shows up with his film crew to film a traditional Amish christmas. But the first night, his executive producer is murdered in the town gazebo. Now bailey must work to piece together the clues and catch a killer.

I love all the characters in the book. Juliet and her pig jethro are so entertaining. I love bailey's grandmother and her cousin Charlotte. I also like that the book was set around Christmas time because I love the feel of small towns at Christmas. There were a few twists that I didn't see coming. I am already looking forward to the next book to see where the story takes us.

I received this book from net galley in exchange for an honest review.

As the book opens we find Bailey King back in her grandmother's candy shop preparing for her first Christmas in Amish country. Her spirits are dampened, however, when her ex-boyfriend, Eric, shows up with a TV crew to shoot an Amish Christmas special - which Bailey knows nothing about. Add to it Bailey's uncertain love life, the ire of an Amish girl once a friend, and a job offer is a dead body. Never a dull moment. Eric begs Bailey to help him clear his name. As much as Bailey is not fond of Eric, she knows he is not guilty and sets out to prove it.

I love books by Amanda Flower. She just has a wonderful storytelling style with likeable characters you want to invest your time with. That said, this is not my favorite book. It's certainly not terrible by any stretch of the imagination - it's just not as good, in my opinion, as the first book in the series. I will have to say, however, that I was pleased to learn there is a fourth coming in the series (Toxic Coffee). Miss Flowers' series tend to end after three books (MUCH to my disappointment) so I was very excited to see that this one will continue. This is certainly a series I continue to follow.

Amanda Flower. Premeditated Pepperment
Peppermint was going to be the name of the game at the Harvest Christmas Market for Bailey and her grandmother. One ex boyfriend came saying he wanted to know what a country Christmas was like, then the film crew came in, for his television show. Then the woman producer comes in, saying” Why to show the country side, and.Eric’s heart for the country people”...Her no, when they showed her a permit, then wondering would it help her business When a murder happens, and Eric is prime suspect, he is trying to sweet talk Bailey into help clearing him. With her boyfriend the sheriff, is against. A lot of twist to this story, of who really was the producer.. A fast pace, good plot, and with people we once again want to read about, in this book 3.. Given ARC by Net Galley and Kensington for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

If I see Amanda Flower, I pick up the book. I realized early on there was something different about the murder victim. Having said that, I was way off base regarding the murderer! Part of the soryline was disappointing but I'll just have to wait to see where it takes us. I wish I was there for Christmas.

Premeditated Peppermint is book 3 in the Amish Candy Shop Mysteries. This series has become my favorite cozy series I have ever read. The books start out with someone being murdered. This time a woman was murdered in a gazebo. I correctly guessed that the woman was not who she seemed. I did not guessed who murdered her. This book kept me guessing.

On thing I have enjoyed about this series is the humor. There is a character Juliet who has this pet pig that she treats like her child. It is quite funny when she comes on the scene. This same woman also has a nice looking son who is in law enforcement. Juliet has it in her mind that Bailey and her son Aiden will someday marry. Of course there is some attraction between Bailey and Aiden but they haven't even gone on a first date yet.

Thanks to Netgalley and Kensington books for providing me an e-copy of this book to read and review. Premeditated Peppermint will be released on September 25, 2018.

After reading most, if not all, of this Amish series, one thing I really enjoy in the interaction between the Amish and non-Amish. Interesting characters, wonderful setting, well written mystery, and all that chocolate makes my hungry!

I discovered this series thanks to netgalley and I’m eternally grateful. I can’t wait to learn more about Bailey and this peculiar community. This time Eric makes an appearance wanting to film Holmes County... I love cozy mysteries and love triangles!

I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the story but the main character Bailey was a total wimp. She let everybody walk all over her and had zero backbone and that ruined the story for me.

Amanda Flower never disappoints. Each of her books is better than they last. She creates interesting characters and plots with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing all the way through. Bailey King has left her job as a chocolatier at a prestigious New York firm after a breakup with her former boyfriend Eric who was a famous pastry chef to settle in her Amish grandparents candy shop in Harvest, Ohio. It's Christmas time when Eric shows up at her shop asking her to be part of a Christmas special he is filming for his tv show on the Gourmet Network. Bailey is reluctant to participate but schedules a meeting with Rocky Rivers, the executive producer of the show, because she thinks being on the show might help grow their online business. When she goes to meet Rocky she finds her dead body, strangled with a strand of Christmas lights, and Eric standing over the body. When Bailey's new love interest, Deputy Sheriff Aiden, fingers Eric as the main suspect, Bailey believes him to be innocent and sets out to find the real murderer. This book is filled with great people, a lovely setting and , most of all, delicious peppermint and chocolate candies. It's impossible to put down!
