3.5 stars, rounded up
Yet another far too short story that falls between full-length novels in a series that I otherwise enjoy reading. I'm not sure why I read these stories - at less than 50 pages, it's not like I'd miss any of the story line that flows from one book to the next. This is just a little escapade that Phyllis and Sam are only marginally involved in, and while it was fun to revisit characters who are like old friends, it was disappointing that it ended so abruptly.
With this, I have read all of the books in this series (maybe that's why I read it? to be a "completionist"?), unless additional books are released in the future.

Short Story
I have read quite a few of the books in this series and enjoyed them all. This was a short story and for me, was just a bit too quick. I like a bit more journey to the culprit but the characters are familiar and it feels like "good old home folk" when you visit Phyllis and Sam.

I was so glad to see there was another book in this series, and I bought it on the spot! This is a very quick read, and I loved every minute of it. Phyllis, Sam and the gang are back and better than ever! The book flowed, and the excitement never ended. I was glued to the pages, and read it in one sitting. I highly recommend this book and this series, and I hope there are more to come.

Just finished this book and even though it was entertaining, I was a little disappointed as to how short it was. I have enjoyed her other books and do hope she will continue the series, but hope they will be longer.

I love this series
I have always given five stars to the books in this series. The mystery keeps you turning the pages and the characters come to be friends as you dig into each story.

A cute novella set around an Easter egg hunt held by an old friend of Phyllis. This was a very short novella with recipes that I read on my kindle.
