We are back in Blossom Valley just in time for a wedding at Smythe Orchards. Winnie's is so excited to have her new cider shop used for weddings and local events. She knows this is the way to make the orchard fruitful and helps keep the place open year-round. But this time, the wedding ends on a sour note, and Winnie's ex Hank right in the middle of it. He had a dust-up earlier with the groom and now that groom is dead. Winnie knows she should stay out of it but finds herself slicing through the clues to juice the real killer before Hank winds up behind bars.
I loved the first book in this series, Apple Cider Slaying, and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. The author exceeded my expectations.
I find Winona Mae Montgomery to be an excellent protagonist. She is smart, and for the most part, thinks things through but like all amateur sleuths just sometimes finds herself in the thick of things she never imagined could happen when she leaps into something. Her friend Dot is a reliable sidekick and a strong character in her own right. Winnie is close to her grandmother and they make a great team running the orchard. We learn some new things about Sheriff Colton Wise as he and Winnie grow closer. Hank is still hanging around and is sometimes his own worst enemy. They are also several animal characters that have their own unique personalities. What I love is all the characters are engaging and realistic in their own ways. They continue to grow and become more endearing.
The mystery was very intriguing and unfolded at a perfect pace throughout the book. There were plenty of suspects and twists and turns and a real edge of your seat moment to grab my attention and hold on tight. I wasn't totally surprised when the killer was revealed but I had discarded this person earlier.
I love the apple orchard theme. I love visiting local orchards and we can never have enough apples in the house.
A well-plotted mystery, wonderful characters, and a terrific setting make Pulp Friction a must-read.
I do encourage you to read Apple Cider Slaying too so you can get to know these characters from the beginning.
