Description
About the Book
"Shiloh Bellamy can hardly believe it-for the first time in her family farm's seventy-year history, she has managed to score a highly coveted booth at the Cherry Farm Market in Traverse City, Michigan. It's a huge win in her master plan to bring the run-down farm back to life...and the fact that her coup has sent her next-door neighbor and organic farming competitor into fits of jealousy doesn't hurt either. But the festive atmosphere at the farm market takes a dark turn when a man entered in the famous cherry pit-spitting competition chokes and dies. When the death turns out to be more suspicious than a cherry pit down the wrong pipe, Shiloh finds herself under local law enforcement's microscope. And when they discover her cousin Stacey had been secretly dating the man in question-and that he was married to someone else-Shiloh begins to worry that everything she has worked so hard to accomplish with her family's farm is about to be taken away. It will take all her investigative skills, a tenuous friendship (or is it something more?) with the local sheriff, and some help from Shiloh's trusty pug, Huckleberry, to prove the cops are barking up the wrong cherry tree and put the real killer behind bars for good"--Book Synopsis
A cherry festival. A shocking death. A second chance for a beloved family farm--if Shiloh Bellamy can keep her name off the suspect list.
Shiloh has poured her soul into saving her family's Michigan orchard, so finally landing a booth at the Traverse City Cherry Farm Market feels like a dream. But as rivalries simmer and secrets threaten to burst, the festival takes a sinister turn: a respected drama professor collapses during the famed cherry pit-spitting contest, and Shiloh is drawn straight into the heart of another small-town mystery.
With her farm's future and her cousin's reputation on the line, Shiloh must navigate a web of jealousy, romance, and betrayal--all while dodging the suspicions of local law enforcement. Luckily, she has a stubborn streak, a nose for trouble, and the surprising support of a certain sheriff (whose friendship might just be turning into something more). With her loyal pug Huckleberry at her side, Shiloh is determined to clear her family's name before her dreams are crushed for good.
Curl up with this cozy, heartfelt whodunit and let the charm of Cherry Country sweep you away.

Not what I expected!
Crime and Cherry Pits by Amanda Flower is the fourth book in the Farm to Table Mysteries. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. Crime and Cherry Pits did not feel like it was written by Amanda Flower. The main character, Shiloh was okay along with her friend and farm worker, Chesney. Hazel is a sweet girl who prefers to spend time with Shiloh versus her grandparents (who dislike Shiloh). There seemed to be a few people in the town who disliked Shiloh. Shiloh’s cousin, Stacey, is an unlikeable character. I wish the author had not included Stacey in the series. Stacey feels she is entitled to a portion of the treasure that Shiloh’s grandmother left for Shiloh to find. Since Stacey sold her part of the farm, I do not know why she feels deserves part of it or why Shiloh feels she should share it with her. I was not a fan of this particular storyline. We follow Shiloh while she is working at the festival as well as doing her chores on the farm. The mystery was simple. I did like the method of murder which was unique. Shiloh asked questions in between her other activities. It was an easy to solve whodunit despite the lack of clues. The pacing was off in the story and the same details were repeated (over and over). Crime and Cherry Pits lacked the humor that is normally present in Amanda Flower’s cozy mysteries. The characters have evolved little since the beginning of the series. My favorite character is Shiloh’s pug, Huckleberry. He is a cutie. While I enjoy the author's other cozy mysteries, I will eschew the Farm to Table Mysteries.
