I love when the girls, Brain, and Paul come together hit the road and solve a mystery. It is another winner in my book. This story takes us to Nantucket and there are so many facets to this story.
With witty dialog and sweet personalities, these girls, Paul and Brian head across the country to solve a mystery in Nantucket. Is is inventive, fun and an all around good story. Hope Callaghan always brings the best out in her characters.

I love her clean writing and the stories are always entertaining and unique.
This book was fabulous.

I enjoyed this book. It's # 14 in the Garden Girls series but it's the first I've read. I had no problems picking up the friendships and dynamics of the ladies. Andrea has gone to visit her parents and is now refusing to come home and marry Brian who is recovered from an attack in a previous book. The girls organize a road trip to see what's going on. Funny and a good cozy to solve.

This is the 14th book in the Garden Girls Cozy Mystery Series by Hope Callaghan. Andrea Malone is vacationing with her parents in Nantucket, Massachusetts and thinking of calling off her engagement to Brian Sellers. Gloria Rutherford-Kennedy, Ruth and the Garden Girls decide to go on a cross-country road trip in search of Andrea. Andrea disappears and her old boyfriend comes to town then Sean is found murdered. Brian is being framed for the murder of Sean while searching for Andrea. Gloria and the Garden Girls search for Andrea to clear Brian's name and reunite the couple. The Garden Girls have more than they bargained for trying to prove Brian's innocence while Andrea's parents are hiding something. I really enjoyed this fantastic cozy mystery suspense novel. There is a delicious dessert recipe included in the book.

He murdered Sean!

As with every book in this series, a twist in the plot makes you go, “I didn’t see that happening!!” Whether you are reading the whole series or as an individual book, you won’t be disappointed. The group of friends have a great time figuring out who murdered the victim. Fun read!

Another great adventure with the Garden Girls. I loved this road trip adventure in Nantucket. I love revisiting all the characters. It feels like they are my friends too. They are very real yet quirky- all in their own ways. It looks like there may be a wedding after all?

Great read

This book was a rollercoaster of emotions from Brian and Andrea to Allie to the beautiful island of Nantucket. I felt the story was a bit drawn out but in the end it was a great outcome. Can't wait to start the next one
