The Basket Delivery is another install-ment in the Rosemary Harbor Mystery series by Wendy Meadows. This is an enjoyable afternoon read with a great blending of murder and suspense with a touch humor.
Hillary has only been in Rosemary Harbor a little over a year and she’s made a few friends through her business and the former book club.
Giovanni thinks he’s a gift to women — he juggles them back and forth without a second thought. He even has Hillary’s daughter, Annabelle added to his stable. Now one of his women friends has been found murdered. Did Giovanni do it, or maybe one of his many women friends got a little too jealous.
Hillary is helping the Chief of Police out again. She does have a way of getting people to talk to her and by listening closely she may discover a clue. There are many twists, turns and surprises in this 5-star cozy that you’ll keep guessing right to the end.

Love Hilary and her daughter.
Here is another cool cozy by Wendy Meadows and it was such fun to read. This book has some really realistic parts. It was a quick and easy to read. Did Giovanni do it? Is Annabelle in love with a killer? The mystery was so interesting with some great twists, turns, and surprises. I loved reading this cozy hope you check it out. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
I marked this book realistic because parents worry about their children and children are not crazy about a dating parent initially (usually). That is the issue with Hilary and her daughter. It seems to be the major focus in the book and the murder feels to be secondary. I am hoping that this will lead to something very significant in the next book.
I love that the book is quick, fun, and easy to read. Can be done in a few hours, especially if not waiting on customers in a used bookstore,lol. I was surprise to see that this is book 5 in this series. Does not seem like that there are so many yet. Since I have read them all and in order, I think you can read this one but will definitely want to go back and catch up on the character development, especially with Hilary and hr daughter.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
I love this series but I have to say that I was really disappointed with this book. Usually I love the interaction between Hillary and her daughter, Annabelle, but this time around Hillary spent far too much time in her head. It seemed like half of the book (if not more) was Hillary thinking about Annabelle and the situation she was in and what she could or couldn’t do about it. I wish more time had been spent on the murder itself or on more interaction between the characters. I like the blossoming relationship between Hillary and Preston but I can’t say that I liked much more. I will read the next in the series because I truly enjoyed the first four books.

Rosemary Harbour has it next victim. Tera is killed in a tanning booth in the beauty business A Place in the Sun. As co-owner and past lover, Giovanni is the first to be questioned. Annabelle is in love with Giovanni and so Hillary makes it a point to find out who else could have motives. This time she has the Sheriff’s permission to nose around.
This is a good cozy mystery that has you wondering who did it. If you have been reading the series then the characters have become like old friends. I enjoyed this novel because it gave both Hillary and Annabelle time to reflect on themselves and their desires. The mystery was interesting and had twists, turns and surprises. I enjoy the small town atmosphere and the constant rumour mill which actually seems to cause a lot of destruction in the town people’s lives. I like this series as it gives me a chance to reflect on relationships, family and friends.
