The Garden Girls are a SIX PACK of trouble creating constant mayhem in Michigan, especially now that Liz (Gloria’s sister) moved back to Belhaven. During this unusual year and since the Golden Years are often a SEASON of CHANGE, I understand Gloria’s need for a new endeavor. Never a dull moment throughout this mystery, especially in small towns struggling to survive. Small Town Saboteurs is a summer read with its relatable small town Michigan characters, senior sleuths, a twist and turn plot, red herrings, and a believable resolution. A page turning mystery that kept me guessing while laughing and reading through the night, especially when Liz visited Gloria’s new endeavor. Delicious Pineapple Carrot Cake recipe included.

Another happy ending
As we prepare for this much loved series to end, Hope Callaghan has given each of her characters a send off befitting their roles in the series. This book, number four of five in the send off, was very well written and, though not as mysterious as some in the series have been, was a great walk down memory lane as we remember her some funny moments in these characters lives. I'm almost dreading reading book 5 as I know it will be the last of our Garden Girls. Best group of friends a reader could ever have in a favorite series. ❤

The small town of Belhaven is a finalist for a prestigious award. But, someone is causing mischief and mayhem in an attempt to prevent their winning. This is another delightful episode in a first-class series. The plot is twisty, the well-drawn characters seem like old friends and expert crafting keeps the pages turning. It was an enjoyable read and I’m looking forward to the author’s future work. This book was a gift and chose to make a voluntary, unbiased review.

Small-town USA comes knocking
Dot and Brian have worked very hard to put Belhaven into the running to be the next best town USA. But ir looks like someone is trying to sabotage their efforts! Can Gloria and the girls figure everything out before the final ruling?
A very emotional time for the friends as one of their own is looking to embark on a new journey.
What a wonderful read as always.

Another WONDERFUL Book from Hope Callaghan
I absolutely LOVED this book. I have all of her books, and they just keep getting better. I was completely drawn in to the story and I have grown to love all the characters.
This just CAN'T be the last one! We need more. We want to see how the food truck gets going and what is Gloria going to do? Will Liz marry a farmer? Inquiring minds want to know - lol.
I enjoyed every page.

Fun Cast of Characters
I love these two series with the Garden Girls. They are a good mixture of characters you might kno uhw but a bit over the top. They are brave and relentless to pursue the truth while being cautioned constantly to stay out of the investigation. I can't get enough of them.

This was another great book. The story has a lot of mysteries and the ladies trying to solve who is doing all the mischief. I enjoyed how they keep doing all kinds of investigating to figure how these people keep doing the destruction.
