A Crumble Too Far
In Blueberry Bay, even the sweetest pies can hide the sourest secrets.
When small-town baker Bella Butterfield isn’t perfecting her buttery blueberry crumbles, she’s trying to keep her quiet coastal life from crumbling right along with them. But when a beloved local farmer turns up dead and the trail leads straight through her own bakery’s front door, Bella’s cozy kitchen becomes ground zero for a recipe of lies, laundering, and murder.
With the help of a rescue corgi named Crumb, a sharp-eyed sheriff, and more sugar than sense, Bella will have to sift through suspects before someone decides she’s the next course.
Warm, witty, and wickedly suspenseful, A Crumble Too Far proves that in Blueberry Bay, revenge is best served homemade.

I picked this up for three reasons: cozy mystery, Maine, and a corgi on the cover. Only one of those things worked out, and it was barely the corgi.
This book was rough. The clichés were nonstop, the grammar was a mess, and the one liners were trying way too hard. At points it genuinely read like it was written by AI and then lightly glanced at by an editor who immediately clocked out.
For a first book in a series, there is basically no character development. It felt like I got dropped into book three without knowing or caring about anyone. I had zero emotional buy in, and I did not care about the mystery at all, which is kind of a problem for a mystery.
Also, why is the corgi on the cover when the corgi is barely in the book? That feels like a personal attack. If you are going to market a corgi, commit to the corgi.
This book could have ended several chapters earlier. I only finished it because it was only 180 pages.
Two stars. One for effort, one for the corgi that deserved a better book.
