When an old childhood friend accuses Val of trying to kill her, Jaymie immediately steps up to figure out what is going on. With the woman seeming to have blackout and forgetting things, the ladies know something is definitely off.

With concern for both Val and their old classmate, Jaymie and Val dig deeper and just can’t seem to figure out what’s going on. Then the woman is found dead on the back entry to Val’s drugstore and the need to solve this one is more urgent than ever. With a few suspects that really stand to gain from the woman’s death, this one is do or die for Jaymie.

I really enjoy this series and find my looking at vintage cookware whenever I read an entry. Great mystery, great recipes and the characters really come to life. I can just hear sweet Jocie when I read it.

Jayme has a busy life and when her friend is accused of dispensing improper medicine she knows it cannot be true. Then when the accuser turns up dead, she will have to solve the case to make sure her friend isn't blamed. This was a fun easy read and I will be delighted to read more in this series.

Sieve and Let Die is the eleventh mystery in the Vintage Kitchen Mystery series. Set in Queensville, Michigan, vintage cookware collector and writer, Jaymie Muller is our lead amateur sleuth. When Jaymie finds a woman murdered and her best friend Val is fingered as the prime suspect, she is on the case.

This is the first book I have read in this series, but I was able to read this as a standalone. I found this mystery series to have an entertaining cast of characters that made the story fun yet dynamic. I am new to this series, but have read other cozies by Victoria Hamilton and I always enjoy them, this mystery was no different. I liked getting to know these characters and this town and will definitely be starting this series from the beginning.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book!

Eleven books and this series is still "cooking with gas." Collecting antique culinary utensils is Jaymie Müller's passion, that is, next to investigating suspicious deaths.. particularly those that initially implicate one of her friends or family. So when she and her friend,Val, stumble over the dead body of the very woman who has been accusing Val of stalking her online and misfilling her prescription, Jaymie charges in to clear Val's name. The plotting and pacing of the mystery will keep you engaged, but the ambiance and friends will entertain you.

Sieve and Let Die is the latest cozy installment in Victoria Hamilton's Vintage Kitchen Mysteries. Set in Michigan, the stories follow Jaymie, a ~30ish vintage kitchen writer who's married with a daughter. On the side, she solves crimes and tries not to get knocked out by the killer. In this case, a friend of Valetta's (Jaymie's bestie) begins having dizziness and accidents, then accusing people including Val who is a pharmacist) of attempting to poison her. We get to know the woman's sister, ex-boyfriend, business partner, daughter, and some clients who are angry about their homes falling apart. Lots of potential killers, red herrings, and side stories. Overall, I enjoyed the book... had a strong thread of character development throughout the chapters. Felt a bit like Jaymie was too risky, especially with her daughter's life. Looking forward to the next one.

Sieve and Let Die is the 11th book in A Vintage Kitchen Mystery series and is a great addition to the series. The characters are likeable and the cozy mystery kept me guessing. Jaymie Leighton Muller is married to Jakob and Jakob has a 10 year old daughter Jocie who is a small, small person. Jaymie thinks of Jocie as her own daughter. Jaymie collects vintage kitchen items and writes articles for the local newspaper. Jaymie's friend Val is a pharmacist. A local accuses Val of giving her the wrong prescription but Val wasn't even working that day. The woman is acting odd and then dies behind the pharmacy. Val and Jaymie begin sleuthing to clear Val's name. There are a few suspects and the mystery kept me guessing but the story was a little repetitive at times helping the reader with the details. I have read all of the books in the series and they continue to be enjoyable. #SieveAndLetDie #AVintageKitchenMystery #NetGalley #BeyondThePage.

"Vintage cookware collector Jaymie Müller is stunned when an irate woman accuses her pharmacist friend Val of tampering with her prescription. When more unfounded accusations follow, it seems clear the woman has a personal grudge against Val. But before they can figure out why, Jaymie and Val stumble upon the woman’s dead body on the steps of Val’s pharmacy. Given her altercations with the woman and the location of the body, the police naturally suspect Val." Mandy was acting like she was crazy. What was wrong with her? Then they found her dead on the steps of Val's pharmacy. Was Val responsible? Or was it someone else?
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion of this book.

Fans of the cute Vintage Kitchen Series cozies by Victoria Hamilton will welcome the eleventh installment of the series, Sieve and Let Die, where the newlywed protagonist, Jaymie Leighton Müller, along with her best friend Val discover the body of an old classmate, Mandy de Boer, on the back steps of Val’s pharmacy. Although the cause of death is unknown, Val is the most viable suspect, since Mandy had been acting very strange and combative recently and had had a run-in with Val accusing her of making a mistake on her recent prescription and trying to poison her. Val had actually taken the day off and wasn’t the one who filled the prescription. Mandy’s erratic behavior of late included Lately, getting in fender benders and leaving the scene, ridiculous confrontations with several people, and accusing them of trying to harm her. Mandy was the co-partner in a huge construction company that had recent lawsuits for shoddy work, and her partner, Randall Kallis had been suspected by Mandy to be behind the problems since he was a dishonest creep who had forced his way into the company when Mandy’s husband died and she had had no knowledge of how to run a construction company. Jaymie, with her pushy personality, investigates so she can find the true murderer and vindicate her best-friend, Val.

Fans of this series are very familiar with Jaymie, the protagonist, as well as the supporting characters since they have been well-developed throughout. Of course, the new characters are well-developed as well and help move the story along. Hamilton does a good job of telling the story and incorporating Jaymie’s interest in vintage cooking utensils into the plot. Jaymie’s family and friends play significant parts in this novel, especially her new husband, Jakob and his adorable daughter, Jocie, takes her new motherhood role seriously. Some of the scenarios are a bit cutesy and don’t ring true.

While this is a cozy and is a light and fun novel to read, Hamilton includes suspense building scenarios to move the story along. There are many suspects and unsavory characters, and readers definitely won’t be sure who the murderer is until the dénouement which turns out to be a surprise.

This series is for every age, and as a bonus, includes recipes at the end. Some of the scenarios are a bit juvenile cozy lovers will enjoy it.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

So many suspects. I loved how Jaymie was working through the clues. I also love the relationship of Val and Jaymie. Best friends are the best. Great story line and wonderful characters. How would you react to someone hurting your family? I would get my Jaymie on for sure. I’m sure you would too. I received this book from NetGalley, but my opinion is my own.

#SieveandLetDie #NetGalley Jaymie Muller is back in this newest addition to the Vintage Kitchen Mystery series.
Victoria Hamilton has combined all the right ingredients to create my favorite cast of fictional characters.
Each book draws me in from the beginning, from the vibrant, colorful covers, to the written words in between, Jaymie is my number one favorite character.
There's something unique about Jaymie, an endearing quality of love and loyalty that shines through in this book.
Her best friend Val is the prime suspect in a murder investigation, and there is nothing she won't due to prove her innocence.
When Jaymie asks too many questions, people she loves dearly are put in harm's way, and Jaymie refuses to stop until the perpetrator is behind bars.
I'm honored to recommend this series to other readers, I've read each book at least twice, and during the New England winters, it's my go to comfort series.
Thank you to the author for keeping all the characters real, and to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of Sieve And Let Die.

I've really enjoyed most of the previous stories in this series, but this one just didn't do it for me. The plot was a bit scatty and the emphasis on a person's personality from more than fifteen years ago was grating in view of that person's erratic behavior. Maybe someone else will appreciate it more.
I requested and received an EARC from Beyond the Page Publishing via NetGalley.

Sieve and Let Die is the 11th book in the Vintage Kitchen Series. It takes place in Queenville, MichIgan. Jaymie Muller is the main character. Mandy de Boer came into Jaymie's sister, Becca's antique shop bringing a vase that she wanted to sell but found out it was a fake. Mandy is the co=owner of Manor Homes who builds houses for developments. Jaymie's best friend, Val. who owns a pharmacy has a run-in with Mandy about a prescription which she accused Val of trying to kill her by giving her the wrong one. People have been saying that Mandy has been acting strange, etc. Mandy and Val had another run=in at an auction that they both were at. Later when Jaymie and Val were going to her pharmacy they found Mandy dead on the steps the pharmacy steps.

This is where the story takes off and there is too much to put on paper happening. I will leave this to the reader to enjoy to the end with a surprising ending. Jaymie tries to investigate as Val is the number one suspect. There are so many twists and turns that the reader doesn't find out until the end who killed Mandy and why.

I have read this series from the beginning and have enjoyed all the books. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Thank you NetGalley and BeyondthePage Publishing for this ARC.

Small town/collector/writer cozy
Ms. Hamilton's newest addition to this series is a delight. When an acquaintance passes away suspiciously, Jaymie is determined to find out the truth and it's not easy. Events before Mandy's passing present a varied array of suspects and motives and she is positive the chief suspect is innocent. Multiple twists ans turns eventually bring the mystery to a close and expose the culprit and their motives.
Nicely played. I enjoyed it and recommend it highly.
I received a NetGalley ARC gratis and offer my opinion in the same

4/5 stars: Hamilton's eleventh entry in the Vintage Kitchen Mystery series is a Culinary Cozy Mystery set in Michigan. Hamilton's has written incredibly likable characters; It's nice to catch up with Jaymie, a vintage cookware collector and food writer, and her family and friend. And of course, there's the ever adorable Hoppy, the three-legged Yorkie-Poo, who is a consummate scene stealer. The mystery Hamilton's written has plenty of twists and turns while balancing the clues, red herrings and suspects. Some sensitive topics are touched in, take care and check the CWs. Additionally, you'll find a “Vintage Eats” recipe included. To get in at the beginning of this series, pick up A Deadly Grind.

I received this eARC thanks to NetGalley and Beyond the Page Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Publishing dates are subject to change.

Sieve and Let Die is the eleventh installment in this vintage cozy mystery series, but a first for me. This was a fairly good whodunnit although I found the pacing a little slow and guessed who the murderer was early on. My thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this ARC to read and review.

This is the 11th in this popular cozy mystery series with a vintage kitchen theme. Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity. My review opinions are my own..

I loved this next in series as one of the most exciting cozy mysteries I have ever read ! The plot was interwoven among clues that kept this reader guessing. The sleuth was multi layered and red herrings abound throughout the book to conclusion. I loved that Val and Jaymie are working together on this sleuth as the best friends they are . Val and her reputation as a pharmacist are in danger in this book after accusations from a disgruntled patient. When a murder then occurs at the pharmacy the entire town is involved and Jaymie suspects that neferious people are behind the murder and accusations. With Val's reputation on the line Jaymie must involve her local friends and business associaties to solve this complex murder. With a terrifying car accident involving her daughter Jaymie is determined to solve this case.

A fun read that I read cover to cover.I have read this series from the beginning and look forward to the next in series. Well done to the author.

A cosy murder mystery. I love the dynamic between Jaymie and Jakob, they're so sweet together. The general plot was intriguing but it felt like the story jumped about rather than being wholly coherent. The 'haha!' moment which to let the reader know that the main character had worked out the mystery was quickly skipped over and not mentioned again until shortly before the end.
This seemed a bit too forced and irked me somewhat.
A easy read, where the main characters make it worth continuing.

Accusations Turn Fatal..
The eleventh outing in the Vintage Kitchen Mystery series and prescription tampering along with accusations against her friend Val are giving cookware collector Jaymie great cause for consternation. Things are about to get worse, however, as when the accuser is discovered very dead indeed Val becomes suspect number one. With a killer on the loose, and her friend in distress, can Jaymie save the day? Another enjoyable instalment with a likeable protagonist, a cast of eclectic and well drawn characters and a well imagined, as well as charming, small town setting.

"Sieve and Let Die" is the 11th book in Victoria Hamilton's "Vintage Kitchen Mystery" series. It felt a bit forced in places and I honestly had a hard time following along with the first 11 chapters until the mystery started kicking off. Even then if felt a little too bouncy between scenes/events. Maybe if I'd read the other books it wouldn't have come off as disjointed. Also, totally called it for who the murderer was from the moment they were introduced.
