Review
Who finds a human
skeletal remains while trying to plant an apple tree? You guessed it; Nell
Forrest!
This is the third offering in the Nell Forrest Mystery
Series, however, it read perfectly as a standalone, as I have never read the
first two. If necessary I would have read the other two to put things into context,
but it was not needed. I absolutely loved this humorous and witty plot that skillfully
threw everything but the kitchen sink into the story-line on the way to the
mysterious end. Evans had me eating out of her hands throughout the entire
tale. If I could I would have given this novel a rating higher than 5.
I could not wait to get to each chapter as there was some
new letter from a fan of her column that ran the gambit from quirky to downright
rude, nevertheless always funny as an added bonus that started each beginning page. The members of her family
are so lovable even in all their nuttiness that just makes them all the more
endearing. Petra and Nell handled most of the situations as I would want to
myself. I highly recommend this book especially with is ending being so
unexpected. Do not miss this great, fun, and entertaining read!
I am doing something that I rarely do and providing the
links to first two novels. I know that I am going to be reading them. I am also
waiting to see what Nell is going to be up to next. I hope there is a book 4,
if I get a vote, then my vote is yes, yes, yes!
So, if you do not mind a little adult, a lot of wit and
humor, a little romance and a whole lot of great mystery and thriller this
novel is going to blow your mind and take you on a happy ride!
