Killer Granola
In the quaint coastal town of Sea Glass Beach, California, the annual Earth Fest is meant to celebrate nature, not end lives. But when a batch of homemade granola poisons local composting queen Wanda the Worm Lady, the festival takes a deadly turn. As suspicions swirl, Paige Andrews enlists her Beachside Dining Club to uncover the truth.
As Paige wrestles with her newly-opened hat shop and a tempting opportunity from a fashion magazine, she finds herself embroiled in a murder investigation that threatens to ruin both her business and her budding romance with veterinarian Adam.
Paige must untangle a web of deceit before her dreams— and perhaps her future— crumble like, well, granola.
Bonus recipes included!

"Killer Granola (A Sea Glass Beach Mystery #3)" by Amelia Pine has Paige and her dinner club (mostly Paige and Abby) questioning a batch of new characters about the unfortunate passing of the local compost/worm lady. She seemed like a love her or hate her kind of person and unfortunately it caught up to her. I was actually leaning towards a different suspect when the reveal happened. However, now I know, I can see the clues I didn't take as seriously.
Paige is also struggling to find her fit as a new business owner and girlfriend to a guy with a kid. Both situations can be tricky. Hopefully all ends up working out. I think it will.

This one had so many secrets, cover ups, and betrayals plus revenge!!! I had huge empathy for Brooke. Her son had peanut allergies and she's accused of murder. The victim had a lot of enemies, so there were plenty of suspects available. The twists and turns kept me guessing and turning pages. I never saw it coming. A suspenseful and thoroughly engrossing read. I voluntarily read a free copy of this book provided by book sirens and am giving an honest opinion.

Killer Granola is Book 3 in A Sea Glass Beach Mysteries by Amelia Pine. Paige and her sweet pup, Lola, are solid main characters. The annual Earth Fest was not supposed to include poisoned granola. Unfortunately, the murder has thrown problems with her boyfriend, Adam. The race is on to solve the crime. Will Paige have to put Adam in the friendship column?

Killer Granola is the third book in the Sea Glass Beach Mystery Series by Amelia Pine. The amateur sleuth is Paige Andrews, an amateur baker and professional milliner with her own hat shop.
When the Wanda the Worm Lady, the composting queen, eats some killer granola during the town's annual Earth Fest, the person who made the granola gets the blame. But Paige and her friends in the Beachside Dining Club have their doubts and decide to investigate.
Killer Granola is deliciously cozy! The dreamy beach setting makes me want to visit and stick my toes in the sand.
I love the sleuth, Paige Andrews. She is smart and kind and has an interesting job as a milliner. I enjoy reading about the process of designing and creating hats. These details are sprinkled into the story in just the right amount.
Paige's friends in the Beachside Dining Club are a fun and quirky bunch. I especially like Paige's godfather Kevin (who always adds humor and heart to the scenes he appears in) and her sweet rescue beagle Lola.
The mystery kept me guessing until the end of the book. I liked the way small details were dropped like breadcrumbs so that the reader could solve the mystery with the sleuth.
Author Amelia Pine has a real knack for writing cozies. Her descriptions are a delight to read and are nicely balanced with the suspense of the mystery.
I adore the Sea Glass Beach Mystery Series and look forward to seeing whats next for Paige and the Beachside Dining Club.
Thanks to Book Sirens and the publisher for the advanced reader copy.

Killer Granola is the third cozy mystery in the A Sea Glass Beach Mystery series. The annual Earth Fest is being celebrated in Sea Glass Beach, but when Wanda the Worm Lady is poisoned in a batch of granola the celebration takes a dour turn. Paige Andrews in present when the murder takes place and finds it hard to keep out of the investigation. With her Beachside Dining Club friends by her side, Paige is determined to get to the bottom of the murder before it’s too late.
I love cozy mysteries, but this was my first time reading one in this series. I found it to be enjoyable and a fun read. I played a little catch up getting to know the characters, but this mystery can easily be read as a stand alone if you haven’t read any of the others. I liked the setting and found the cast of characters to have something for everyone. The mystery was well paced and easy to get into. It kept me guessing until the end and I was surprised at how everything played out. I’ll need to go back and check out the other books in this series.

Paige Andrew is settling into enjoying the Sea Glass Earth Fest when one of the participants suddenly succumbs to a food allergy. When it's determined that the victim was deliberately dosed with a trigger, and a friend of Paige's mother is accused, it's time for Paige's Sea Glass Dining Club to swing into action and bring about swift justice.
Though Killer Granola is the series' third book, it is my first foray into this world. The author makes it easy to get to know the main players quickly. I found myself fully immersed in the story and enjoying it fully. The mystery took many delightful twists and turns, leaving me with no idea to the identity of the killer.
Also included are some yummy, but not terribly technical, recipes for the various foods described in the book. Even I might be able to concoct some of these!
Thank you to Amelia Pine and BookSirens for the opportunity to read this digital ARC. As always, my opinions are my own, honest and true.

Great addition to the series!
Paige and her Beachside Dining Club members keep getting drawn into murders. This time, a store owner who wasn't exactly loved by all dies, and a friend of Paige's (who also works at Paige's mom's restaurant) is the main suspect. But there are quite a number of people who might have had motives, so the group sets out to hopefully clear Brooke's name and find the real murderer. I didn't figure out the culprit until they were revealed.
I really love the characters in this book - they're all interesting and some are quirky. Love the friendships and other relationships. The descriptions of the scenery make me want to be there.
You can definitely enjoy this as a stand alone, but as always, reading the first two books will give you an even better background.
I'm ready for more!!

The only thing that should crumble at Earth Fest is a cookie—not the compost queen after a bite of granola!
Welcome back to Sea Glass Beach, where the waves are gentle, the vibes are coastal, and the granola is... deadly. In the third installment of A Sea Glass Beach Mystery, Paige Andrews is knee-deep in mystery once again—this time, trying to clear a friend's name and save her budding hat business while navigating a relationship with a charming vet and his child.
From quirky compost experts to a lovable beagle named Lola, Killer Granola delivers classic cozy mystery charm with heart and humor. Paige's sleuthing is sharp, the red herrings keep you on your toes, and the seaside setting makes you want to grab your sunhat and stroll through town.
Even better? You don’t have to read the first two to enjoy this one—but you’ll probably want to once you finish.

How cute is the cover??!!
I loved this cozy world of Paige Andrews, the main female character, and her adorable beagle dog Lola. She works hard to solve a death at the Annual Earth Fest. The story is set in Sea Grass Beach where she has her hat shop ‘Rad Hatters’. Wanda the worm lady who owns the local plant nursery & compost business dies after giving her presentation at the festival and eating locally produced granola.
I loved the characters, especially her chilled out Godfather, Kevin, the beach setting, the garden centre and how everything came to a nice ending. It really wormed my sole and was a fantastic cozy mystery.

Paige’s godfather Kevin continues to be my fave B-player character. He’s such a hoot and even though he comes off as goofy and beach-bum-like, he does have a profound bone or two in his body. Hard to believe his twin’s the police chief, a guy with a completely opposite personality lol.
Paige and her dining club friends found themselves investigating a murder because their friend and the town’s favorite diner server was the prime suspect. Lola the beagle and her faithful sniffing nose were on the job as well. Meanwhile, Paige was having a little relationship trouble with her boyfriend, but I liked how they resolved it. I’ll be reading the next book eventually since these characters are like old friends now.

Killer Granola: A Sea Glass Beach Mystery (#3)
by Amelia Pine is a great read for fellow cozy mystery lovers. The setting of Sea Glass Beach feels like a favorite character. The town is filled with zany folks like the worm lady, a junk sculptor and our regular cast of crime solving, foodie friends. Our main character sees a good bit of growth during this book between her relationship and getting her hat shop rolling. The puzzle was well thought out with a satisfying ending. Definitely check out this series for some cozy beach vibes. Thanks book sirens for the digital ARC all opinions are my own.

Killer Granola was so much fun! I enjoyed the California beach town vibes and amateur sleuths who gather around the kitchen table to collectively solve the mystery: Who killed Wanda, the “worm lady”? Our main character, Paige, is still adjusting to small business ownership after a fast-paced career in Los Angeles. Her beagle, Lola, is a spunky sidekick, sniffing out clues. I also enjoyed a sprinkling of romance in this book, as Paige dates a single dad. I don’t want to say too much about the mystery, but I liked that the author gives readers plenty of possibilities for the murderer and keeps us guessing the whole time. I’ll definitely recommend this book to my fellow cozy readers.

Super sweet and real
I loved the plot to find the murderer! I really ping ponged between knowing whodunnit. And definitely did not expect the ending. The romance between Adam and Paige is so real and I appreciate that it's believable. The only thing that bugged me was that after 5 months of dating there was this "this is too soon" type of expectations that I don't think is very real. Like as the reader, I have different expectations of relationships so I would have wanted some more dialogue or mental notes to understand the MCs outlook. Also, what was Verda trying to say in the shop!

I was so happy to see that Paige and Adam are in a relationship. I have to say I was more worried about the status of their relationship than the murder. There were a few different possibilities for suspects. I couldn’t narrow it down and was not expecting the outcome we got. I do like the ghost element in the shop. I am excited to see where it goes.

I was given early access to this book as an ARC reader, and loved it. The characters are all in their groove (Kevin is still my favorite!) and given room to develop over a few rocky bumps in the road.
A fun mystery and I appreciate the integration of the millinery and relationship balancing act.

I read another in this series and was given a complimentary copy of Killer Granola for review. I enjoyed the quick pace of the plot and the friendship of the characters. The setting is enjoyable and Paige’s character development is both believable and fun. Looking forward to reading the next installment from Sea Glass Beach!

I loved reading the newest Sea Glass Beach Mysteries book! I always feel like I am right beside Paige as she is sleuthing around town. I thought I was going to figure it out first but Paige beat me to it. Keep them coming!!
