Crime and Cherry Pits is book 4 in the Farm to Table mystery series by Amanda Flower.
Shiloh is thrilled to finally have been selected to have a table at the Cherry Farm Market. This will help her get the family farm back on track for success. She sells lots of cherry baked goods and many other things cherry she can think of to make.
One of the activities at the Market was a cherry pit-spitting contest. Now who would ever have thought that something bad would happen during this contest, but it did. One of the contestants chokes on a pit and dies.
Shiloh ends up trying to find out exactly what happened and why.
This mystery is full of everything that makes a cozy mystery good.
Thank you NetGalley, Amanda Flower and Poisoned Pen Press for this book. This is my personal review.

Shiloh and her little pug Huckleberry step in to find the real villain who killed her cousin Stacey's ex since it wasn't the cherry pit he appeared to choke on! This is a fun series and like the others, this latest will be fine as a standalone. It's got all the cozy elements- a victim who was a rat, a law enforcement love interest, and intrepid investigator. And a pug! Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good read.

I have enjoyed this series from the beginning. This is a charming addition to the series. Shiloh lives with her curmugen Father on a family farm that was in great disrepair when she moved in. She has revitilized the farm and is busy creating cherry products and their famous cherries to sell at the local cherry festival where she has procured a booth. When a murder occurs and her cousin is blamed she must step into her sleuthing skills and free her cousin from suspicion.

This is a fun agricultural farm based series . I enjoy the repartee that Shiloh has with her Father who is always giving her a hard time. The descriptions of the farm are beauitful to imagine. .She has a adorable pug companion and many friends in their small community. The sleuth was well crafted to conclusion and kept me guessing throughout. Well done to the author. I look forward to the next in series.

Crime and Cherry Pits is the latest Farm to Table cozy starring Shiloh Bellamy. Although it is part of a series you could probably start with this book and be okay. Shiloh has a fancy booth set up in this year’s Cherry Farm Market, selling her cherry products and enjoying the festivities. The annual cherry pit spitting contests lands another dead body at Shiloh’s feet. Using her amateur sleuthing skills, Shiloh must prove her cousin is not a killer while finding the real culprit while neck deep in her family drama. Likable characters and a twisted case make for a fun, page turner with just a hint of romance to make things more interesting. Amanda Flower is one of my must read cozy mystery authors. My voluntary, unbiased, and non-mandatory review is based upon a free review copy from NetGalley.

I enjoyed this book for what it was, a cozy murder mystery. Some of the phrases got a bit repetitive for example 'as if to say', but that may just be because I read half of the book in one chunk so I noticed it more. Some of the twists I found predictable but I found myself immersed in the world of the Cherry Festival and the cutest pug ever.

This book greets you with a cheery cover and a promise of savory cherry goodies to eat and drink. Protagonist, Shiloh Bellamy resides in the North Woods of Michigan on an organic farm with a cherry orchard. She sells baked goods plus all kinds of cherry infused products. Her pug, Huckleberry, is her constant companion, and he’s a cutie! She lives with her gruff Dad, and he is at odds with her cousin, Stacey, over some stocks inherited from their Grandma Bellamy. It’s also Cherry Festival time, and the first time Shiloh’s had a booth there. It’s important for her sales to be successful so she has money for the organic farm’s expansion. With Stacey’s constant belligerence, and a sudden murder, Shiloh’s up to her ears in danger!

The murder mystery is entertaining! There are characters to like, and those to definitely dislike! Quinn, a onetime beau of Shiloh’s, has become a pain in the patoot, and just aggravated me to all get out! His daughter, Hazel, is a sweetie. Sheriff Milan Penbrook is a gentleman and a great love connection for Shiloh. I hope this series continues with more stories, in the future. I highly recommend!

I honestly reviewed an unedited, digital arc provided by NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press. All opinions are my own

This is the fourth book in the series. It's a charming cozy mystery. Some parts were a bit predictable, but it's still a fun, quick read. Readers will enjoy sleuthing along with Shiloh and her pug Huckleberry, who often steals the scene! I love the Michigan setting, as well as the cherry festival crime scene.

"Crime and Cherry Pits (Farm to Table Mysteries #4)" by Amanda Flower was a very Cherry and a little 4th of July themed cozy mystery. The cherry theme went a tiny bit into the innuendo commentary a couple of time, but so barely that I had to remind myself I probably only went there because I have a teenager at home.

With the mystery part, I don't know if I missed something or it just wasn't there but I honestly didn't have any real idea for who the culprit might be. I had one suspect but mostly a a cliche type suspect not a genuine one. It wasn't them.

This was the 1st book I’ve read in this series. I felt like I could easily read this as a stand alone, but I will go back and read the first 3 books. This is everything you want from a cozy mystery…a dog, a cat, two love interests, family troubles, and a murder. It wrapped up very quickly and provided a satisfying ending.

Crime and Cherry Pits is the fourth book in Amanda Flower’s Farm to Table series. I thought the mystery its self was very good but the editing needs more work. I liked that I was unable to guess whodunnit and in fact I was shocked by who it was. I think this is what makes a mystery really good.
Surprises at the ending of the book. It was an easy read and a page turner. The cover is a real eye catcher. The characters were all great.
Our Sleuth, Shiloh Bellamy puts her self in a dangerous position once again. She seems to be the sleuth with nine lives. She also makes a decision about her romantic life. You won’t want to miss this book. Things at Bellamy Farm are moving ahead into the future and you don’t want to be left behind.
I recommend this book to readers of Cozy Mystery and fans of the Author. Crime and Cherry Pits could be read as a stand alone but characters are carried over to this book from the previous books of the series. I would recommend the books be read in order because it makes a better reading experience. This book is scheduled for release on 2/27/24
I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions expressed here in this review are my own.

A great cozy mystery. Reads a bit slower than the others in the series, but still aa wonderful read.
Shiloh has secured a coveted booth at the Cherry Festival and things are looking up. She is working out her grandmothers will with her cousin, hoping for a quick settlement. Unfortunately while enjoying a competition, one of the competitors apparently chokes, and dies, and when fingers start pointing to Shi's cousin, she can't help but investigate. Lots of motives, opportunities, and suspects, but will she find the right one before she gets hurt?
Fun series. I love the building relationship that came through. Glad she finally made her choice!
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Another fantastic Farm to Table mystery by Amanda Flower. This time we find Shiloh at the annual Cherry Festival with her new booth and unfortunately a new murder. Her cousin, Stacy, and her have been locked in a tense situation over the money Shiloh found from their grandmother. After Stacy has a fight with her boyfriend (whom she just found was married) and he turns up dead, it is up to Shiloh to find the killer. With some interesting characters, twists and a bit of romance, this books is a great read and I cannot wait for the next!
Thank you to Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the advanced copy.

I really enjoy series set on farms so I have a soft spot for this one. I like Shiloh but she is a bit of a pushover. This girl may be smart and hardworking but she needs to learn to say no. I really dislike how her cousin Stacey and father treat her, they are not nice people. That all being said, most of this story takes place away from the farm at the Cherry Festival in nearby Travers City. Bellamy Farms has been very lucky to gain a spot at a very prestigious festival and this is good news for all Shiloh has been working toward. Unfortunately at one of the Festival events, Shiloh steps in to try and save someone she thinks is choking only to have the police find out that he was poisoned and Shiloh's cousin Stacey is the primary suspect. Since Stacey and Shiloh are still at odds over their grandmother's inheritance Shiloh knows she needs to clear her cousin so things can be worked out. The mystery here was very good and I did not have it figured out till the very end. I hope in the next book Shiloh can find a little happiness, things were definitely looking up at books end. Thank you to #NetGalley and #PoisonPenPress for the opportunity to read early!

Rural farm/festival cozy
Shiloh works hard to bring the family farm back to life, doing everything she can think of to conserve her money and turn a profit. Family issues aside and there are many, her organic farm is slowly turning the corner with all her hard work and the help of friends.
When she tries to help a choking man, she finds out his death was no accident and is determined to solve it.
Ms. Flowers pens an engaging cozy with a bit of romance, family drama and lots of intrigue.
I highly recommend for any lover of good cozies.
I received a NetGalley arc gratis and offer my opinion in the same

Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of CRIME AND CHERRY PITS (Book 4 of the Farm to Table mystery series) by Amanda Flower in exchange for an honest review. Shiloh Bellamy has risked much by investing a significant amount of time and money in her booth at the Traverse City Cherry Farm Market. Since Shiloh discovered the missing part of her inheritance, Shiloh’s cousin Stacey has become hostile, so Shiloh didn’t expect a ring-side seat to Stacey’s breakup with her latest beau. Stacey’s now ex-boyfriend, the cheating cad, contends in the festival’s pit spitting contest and chokes on the cherry stone. When the death turns out to be more nefarious than natural, Stacey solicits Shiloh to save her from suspicion by solving the slaying. With high hopes for mending the relationship rift between herself and her cousin, Shiloh juggles her festival responsibilities with sleuthing and embarks upon a plan of action that will endanger more than her checkbook and her reputation.

I like this book and enjoy the series. I recommend the book to fans of the series and the series to fans of cozy murder mysteries featuring farms, organic produce, festivals, events, pudgy pooches, churlish chickens, and risks of business.

For the first time ever, Shiloh has managed to snag a highly-coveted booth at the Cherry Farm Market in nearby Traverse City, Michigan. When a man dies during the cherry pit spitting competition – a festival highlight – and the death is found to be murder, Shiloh’s cousin Stacey is at the top of the police’s suspect list. To clear her cousin’s name and to find the actual killer, Shiloh conducts her own investigation.

This is the fourth book in this series, which I have enjoyed since the very first book. That’s not surprising, though, as I have yet to be disappointed by a book from this author. I like Shiloh and her determination to make the family farm a success, and most of the recurring characters who are her family, friends and neighbors, although some of them really bother me. As nasty as her cousin has been to her so far in this series, it’s surprising that she would put this much effort into solving the murder, but she does. As usual, I love Huckleberry, Shiloh’s little pug, who steals the scene many times. I laughed to myself when he barked at Shiloh’s high heels – an opinion I share :)

At first, the murder victim seems like a nice, if eccentric, guy, but as more information is gathered, it turns out he wasn’t such a great guy after all. In addition to Stacey, there are quite a few people on the suspect list. I had a suspicion about one of them but wasn’t certain about it until it was revealed in the book. Given that character, the motive was predictable.

I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher. This is another great series by Amanda Flower.. Looking forward to the next book Shiloh has been accepted to have her booth at the Cherry Farm Market in Traverse City. While there she sees her cousin Stacy and finds out she has been seeing leading actor who seems to be still married.before the day is done, Shiloh becomes entangled in another murder and this time she’s trying to prove Stacy is innocent.

This was a cute, cozy mystery. Despite being predictable, it was a fun read! Fans of cozy mysteries will enjoy!

Another good read in the series. Shiloh is working at a cherry festival when a man dies during the cherry pit spitting contest. When her cousin is high on the list of suspects she steps in to help the police solve the crime. I did enjoy this one, although I enjoy most of the books by this author. Would highly recommend.

I'm a fan of this author and I enjoyed Crime and Cherry Pits very much.
Shiloh is excited to be part of the Cherry Farm Market in Traverse City, Michigan.
While working hard to get her farm up and running successfully, Shiloh needs her father to share his inheritance with her cousin, but her father is refusing.
Shiloh's cousin becomes a suspect in a murder investigation, and she asks for her help.
Soon Shiloh and her adorable pug Huckleberry find themselves sniffing out clues and getting into trouble.
This is a typical cozy mystery, light hearted and fun, and I did not figure out whodunit in advance.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.
