BOOK 4: Death By Dumplings
Upon returning home from her recent Smoky Mountain adventure, "Garden Girl" Gloria Rutherford wants nothing more than to relax and unwind on her farm. After a good night's rest, she decides to catch up with her close friends, aka, The Garden Girls at their favorite hangout, Dot's Restaurant.
There's just one small problem. As Gloria pulls into the small town of Belhaven, she finds Dot's place swarming with cops and the restaurant itself taped off with crime scene tape. Someone at the restaurant has been poisoned after eating Dot's famous Chicken 'n Dumplings!
Dot and her husband Ray, are devastated and now must try to clear their name. When they ask Gloria to help, she jumps right into detective-mode and is hot on the trail of another killer.
The list of suspects widens as Gloria uncovers a pile of motives - some from residents in their own little town. Desperate to clear her good friends' names, she discovers the killer may be a little too close for comfort.
BOOK 5: Eye Spy
"Garden Girl" Gloria Rutherford is having a bad day. A really bad day. Just when she thinks it couldn't possibly get any worse, it does.
The sleepy little town of Belhaven has just been invaded by a swarm of federal authorities sent to investigate the local post office and it's postmaster, who just so happens to be one of Gloria's best friends, Ruth.
When Ruth is put on temporary leave pending the outcome of the investigation, she asks Gloria if she can come and stay with her until the crisis is over. Gloria doesn't have the heart to turn her down.
With Ruth underfoot and the uncertainty of not knowing how long the "official investigation" might take, Gloria has never been more motivated to solve a mystery!
Knowing she'll need every trick up her sleeve, plus a little help from her friends and from the other Garden Girls, she'll do whatever it takes to help her friend and save her own sanity!
Can she get Ruth back to work and her cozy life back to normal - or will Gloria have a new, permanent houseguest?
BOOK 6: Magnolia Mansion Mysteries
There's no place like home! But what if "home" happens to be the town's mysterious, rundown, mansion? At least that's what young Andrea Malone keeps asking herself ever since she bought the vacant, dilapidated house months ago.
Determined to put down roots in the cozy little town of Belhaven, she gets busy managing the much-needed renovations in order to revive the old house and restore it to the grandiose mansion it once was.
With the renovations nearly complete, the mysterious house begins to reveal secrets from its troubled past.
On the same day that her quirky parents arrive in town for a visit, Andrea makes a shocking discovery that has her questioning if she should spend another night in the house.
She calls on her friend and amateur sleuth, Gloria Rutherford, to help her get to the bottom of the mysteries that surround the mansion.
The more clues Gloria uncovers, the deeper the mysteries get.

This book is worth reading!
I don't even like to try to put the book down , it's a little immature sometimes; things are put in there that aren't really necessary to the story but the books are good and I highly recommend them I appreciate the language and the way the author ends the books.

Entertaining series..Gloria and her fellow Garden Girls are so much fun. Ms. Callaghan's descriptive writing style makes more enjoyable, allowing readers (this one, at least) to picture the scenes and what's going on. The stories mesh nicely, one into the next. Can't wait to see what the Garden Girls next adventures entail.

Another great series.
I read three books in the pack. Each one is great. I love all the characters in the books. They are finally more of a group working together. The only complaint I have Hope is that in Michigan the news is at Ten o 'clock not eleven. I too live in Fl. but am from Chicago.

I hadn't read cozy mysteries until I got my Kindle and signed up for Kindle Unlimited. I really enjoy this genre. This is a series I will keep reading.

Another Winner from Holt Callaghan
This entire series is excellent. However, I do recommend that you read box set one before this set. Otherwise, although each book CAN stand alone, they're much more enjoyable read in order.

Quick read
I enjoyed these books as quick lighthearted reading. You meet the characters but you do not really learn much of their backgrounds. I came into this series at book 4 so perhaps I need to go back and start at book 1.

I really liked the series. The main character has a boyfriend who doesn't tell her to stop investigating murders and welcomes her input. That is a different twist.

Loved every minute of this series. The characters were not only real but fun to know. The plots were great but light

All three books were very good. I enjoy Hope's writing style. You just flow threw the pages. The characters are humorous and pleasant. You get the feeling that you know them. The last book Magnolia Mansion had me fooled. I did not pick the correct culprit. He had me fooled.

Low 3 star
If you can adjust to the frequent POV shifts midscene they pass the time well. Nothing impressive and they are prone to being hooky and rely heavily on each other (characters a bit flat).

I love this author and the story of of the garden girls. Always something around the corner. No language, which I find very refreshing.

Does not disappoint
This is another winner. I enjoy the style of writing. Realistic yet light. Highlighting a different partner in crime in each book keeps the stories fresh.

What a great read! The characters in Hope Callaghan’s Garden Girls Series are like real people who everyone can identify with. The friendship Gloria and her “girls” share is amazing and Ms. Callaghan smoothly blends faith, friendship, mystery, and intrigue into her books. It is so refreshing to read a good Whodunit with no foul language, graphic violence, or sexually explicit scenes and can be enjoyed by the entire family. I have enjoyed following Gloria and her friends in their adventures. I highly recommend this series.
