Farm to Trouble

Farm to Table Mysteries

By: Amanda Flower

Narrated by: Madeleine Lambert

Shiloh Bellamy cashed in her big-city job and 401K to return home to Michigan to save the family farm, but turning Bellamy Farms into a sustainable, organic operation is no small feat. And that’s especially the case once her new investor is found dead at the farmers’ market not long after signing the contract, a contract the whole town knows her father was wholeheartedly against.

Now Shiloh must clear her family's name and track down the real killer before her farm dreams wilt before her very eyes. But with her father trying to stop any progress on his land, her cousin belittling her every effort, and the whole town believing her family to be at fault, Shiloh has to carry the investigation on her shoulders or risk all her dreams drying up before they begin.

The reader is monotonous sounding and the story drags on.

It could have been a good story. The way the main character is treated in the story is very tiring. The other characters are unreasonably rude and she just seems to take it. The ending was anticlimactic.

IF YOU STICK WITH IT

THIS BOOK REDEEMS ITSELF. THE FIRST HALF OR MORE OF THE BOOK IS ROUGH BECAUSE VIRTUALLY EVERY CHARACTER, OTHER THAN SHILOH AND A COUPLE OF FRIENDS, IS UNLIKABLE IF NOT DOWNRIGHT HATEFUL. AS IN ALL GOOD COZIES, THIS IS RESOLVED, BUT I BEGAN TO WONDER. I ENDED UP LIKING THE BOOK AND LOOK FORWARD TO SMOOTHER SAILING IN BOOK 2.

Narrator is monotone until voicing a character

Story was really good but hard to get through because of the narrator’s monotone. Hope next book’s narrator is better. It’s actually surprising to me because normally these Amanda Flower series have great narrator’s.

The changes in the way new people can interact with to accuse others. It was a fun story

I liked that everyone thought her father was the one who killed his friend.It was. nice that finally someone believed in her. It had been a long long time
