My Review
Berried Motives is the sixth book in the Cranberry Cove series and the first I've read .
It can be read as a stand alone though.
I must say I've never read a book about cranberry harvesting before
but I am glad that I have.
Berried Motives takes place in Michigan where the weather is perfect for growing
cranberries and the cranberry farm is in full harvest mode right now.
Monica bakes a variety of baked goods with these cranberries for the local businesses
to sell and it keeps her happy and very busy.
To pump up business they have the local news crew come out
and do a piece on the cranberry bog.
Lo and behold when the show’s ruthless star is found dead on their farm
this is not the type of exposure the farm is looking for.
Cozy fans and foodies alike will love this mystery in
Cranberry Cove.
Berried Motives also has tasty recipes included.

Goodreads Summary
An ambitious TV personality takes a star turn in murder in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran!
With the cranberry farm in full harvest mode, Monica is thrilled to learn that they’ll be the featured guests on a local TV news show. Certain the exposure will give her bakery products and the farm’s store a welcome boost, she’s also nervous about how she’ll come across on-screen. But her real worries begin when the show’s ruthless star is found bludgeoned to death on a side road of the farm—and Monica’s own brother heads up the list of suspects.
Launching an investigation to find the real killer and clear her brother, Monica discovers there was no love lost between the victim and those closest to her. From the dead woman’s husband, a calculating politician with his sights set on more lucrative pastures, to the timid cameraperson she repeatedly bullied, there’s no shortage of suspects or motives. And when Monica unearths a compromising secret that turns the spotlight on one of them, she suddenly realizes the solution has been staring her in the face. As she closes in on the killer, she’ll need sharp wits and steely nerves to avoid taking her final bow . . .
