Bitter Harvest (A Greenhouse Mystery) (Volume 2)
By: Wendy Tyson
Rating: 5 of 5
I’ve read both books in the this series and, while I enjoyed the first, the second, “Bitter Harvest” takes the series storyline and elevates it. The first book spent a lot of time introducing the characters and now that the reader of the series should be familiar with them, the plot is the focus in this book. I kept guessing the whodunnit but the ending was a surprise to me though there were certainly some clues left.
Once again, we are back in Winsome, PA and the town is preparing for their first Oktoberfest celebration. When a death occurs, the authorities aren’t sure if it was an accident or if something more dastardly is afoot.
Megan Sawyer, the lawyer turned organic farmer, has her own opinions. That there are some mysterious and sinister happenings at her farm feed into her suspicions. She is pulled into investigating and keeps coming up with more and more that the authorities continue to downplay. Is it because the clues are false leads or is it because the town wants their image pristine for the tourists who will visit during Oktoberfest?
The relationships continue to grow in the story. Existing ones go to new levels and potentially new ones seem to be appearing on the horizon. I really enjoyed this book, characters and plot. I especially liked being kept on the edge of my seat trying to figure it out. I will look forward to new books in this series in the future. I highly suggest reading the books in order so you can understand the character development.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
