Cranberry Winter
Romance, suspense and murder are at the center of this sequel to the popular Blackberry Days of Summer and An Elderberry Fall that highlight African American life in the 1920s.
Nothing seems to change for Carrie Parker. Even as she attempts to move on, her life is still haunted by reminders of the late Herman Camm, the beady-eyed, small man who forever changed the life of her family. His twin, Kindred, is in town and he is the spitting image of his brother, yet everyone feels he is the opposite of his irresponsible, womanizing twin. He is accepted immediately but Carrie is afraid. Is he actually the dead Herman come back to life?
Simon, her husband, thinks she is losing her mind, as he is too busy chasing his dream of being a major Colored League baseball player, but now he is spending less time on the road. Carrie suspects he knows about her intimate friendship with Adam Murphy, who is spending his spare time in Petersburg, pursuing Carrie as if she is available.
There’s more than meets the eye with Kindred, and Carrie’s mother is willing to do whatever she can to help Carrie determine if he really is someone new. Soon, all the suspicions are satisfied when Kindred’s true identity is revealed. But with a twist no one is expecting, the town is now reeling with an unsolved murder on its hands.
Another tantalizing whodunit by Ruth P. Watson, Cranberry Winter is a provocative novel that will keep you guessing until the very end.

I have say this is one good book to read. I truly can't wait until last book is out. This is full shocking stories between that charters. It was full of surprises, but keep you wanted more. Some part of this story Carrie had to gone through made cry. But, I'm glad that things worked out her at the end.

September 26, 2019By this point in the story I would have loved to have learned more of the other characters in the story.
The story line became sketchy when it came to her mother's relationship with Herman Camm. I would have loved to know a little more about Simon, his family and shady behavior. By the third book I wanted more. Nevertheless, I read all three books in less than two weeks.

I've enjoyed reading this series. Blackberry Days of Summer is my favorite one so far. I can't wait to read the next book to see what happens with Carrie and the men in her life.

Carrie grows up
I enjoyed the journey that Ms. Watson took me on the evolution of Carrie. A lot happens in a season.
