Bittersweet
A Stitch in Key Lime (Baker’s Rise Mysteries book 10) by R. A. Hutchins
Knowing that this was the last book in the series meant this was a bittersweet read. I’ve loved my time in Baker Rise and I’m sad to leave. Flora, Adam, Reggie and the residents feel like old friends.
These books are the epitome of cosiness (despite the murders!). With the idyllic setting and tight-knit community, they’ll have you feeling as though you’re standing alongside the characters.
This book’s mystery kept me on my toes guessing who did it and how it would unravel.
I also really enjoyed how the author brought up mental health in men.
There are so many things to enjoy about this series and I’m sad to be leaving it behind - although I am looking forward to joining Niomi and Reggie in the future!

The last in this delightful cosy mystery series is set in Bakers Rise. Flora, Adam, their Foster daughter Naomi and Reggie, the parrot, are now in their new home at The Rise. Flora's life, for the past couple of years since she moved there, has been dogged by murders in the village. She's hoping things will change!
With the popular show, Yarm Wars, coming to the village, something as innocuous about knitting and crochet can't bring with it murder, surely? However, when someone close to the show is found dead, Flora and Adam are once more thrown into things.
Each book is a standalone mystery, but the books are best read in order of publication to preserve continuity of the characters and wider storyline.
I have really enjoyed this series and am sorry to see it end, but the author teases a new series with Naiomi and Reggie, the parrot ascenttal characters.

Oh, the perfect ending!
Except I didn't want the series to end! (Although, realistically how many murders could happen in one village?)
The arrival of Yarn Wars creates tension and competition between villagers and when the murder occurs, I worried that worse would happen. Fortunately, despite some embarrassment and rather hilarious moments - including one of my favorite Reggie scenes - the villagers pull together every time.
Flora and Adam create the family they've both longed for with Naomi, with a few tense bits every parent will get. (I do wish I could find my version of Adam.)
A perfectly lovely series that I inhaled at the rate of a book a day.
Now, on to the Daisy series.
