I love this series! It just keeps getting better and better. We learn more about the characters as we go along and the mysteries are always entertaining. The cafe is as much a character as the people are and I wish I could go and try items from the OOPS board. And cuddle with Sage and meet Jonathan, Patty and everyone else. As long as I'm not the murder victim or the murderer! You can't go wrong with this series!!

I really love the characters and spending time in this small town. This one was a great mystery! Unfortunately, the character development disappointed me a bit in this one. I was hoping that since the mystery surrounded Jack, he’d be showcased more. Also, I’m not enjoying the newest addition to Kylie’s love interests. Being hostile and mean is not a way to show affection, it’s emotional abuse. This is a terrible example for women who may be putting up with inappropriate treatment in the hopes a man will change or secretly has a soft interior.

Oh these books are so great! You won't want to out them down!

These stories are so interesting and fun to read. I've stayed up late reading so many times, because the stories are so complex and well thought out that I've list track of time. I'm often telling myself ' just one more chapter ' and then reading on and on to find out what will happen next. The characters are so well written, and so likable. I can't wait to start the next book in the series!

Who is innocent?

I really like the character, Zoey she’s my girl. This book was interesting because I couldn’t figure out who did what and I like the different people in the story who I thought did it like Darren or Paula, but I was wrong. It was interesting to find a few mistakes in the words too, because I was surprised that someone didn’t catch those for the book written, but we all make mistakes I’m hooked on the series.

A very perplexing puzzle

Picking up a little after the precious book needed, A Berry Perplexing Puzzle is full of up and down emotions, humor, and a mystery until the very end. This book played on isolating Kylie by way May reading like her friends were leaving her; while at the same time solidifying her place in the town.

Author is wonderful, but this story only so-so.

Kylie is back home again, with another friend on the hot seat. She goes through lots of suspects and starts sorting out her love life. I'm not sure why I wasn't crazy about this book, but some jarring things happened that didn't seem to fit the characters personalities.it was still a decent story with plenty of plot twists.

Grab it!

This series is just so much fun that I wish I could be Kylie! Yes she gets into lots of trouble, but it's because she cares and her crew around her help too. The mysteries are nice and twisty since it's all told from Kylie's perspective.

Fun

Really like this storyline. An inexperienced cafe owner solving crimes with an interesting group of friends. The conversations flow naturally and the plot and subplots move quickly with twists and turns. Can't wait for more!

Ohh Devious Plot

If this is your first foray into the world of Kylie Berry please stop and begin with A Berry Deadly Welcome. Great Plot, fabulous characters, and witty dialogue. While Winters needs a good editor, her characters are funny and fresh. Her plots wonderfully devine.

Great series!

I am hooked on this cozy mystery series with a side of romance. The main characters are interesting and the cafe a place I'd like to hang out at. Looking forward to the next book! One star dedicated because minor editing needed.

Adding Gregson into the mix is just disappointing, it should be Joel or Brad, that's what is readers have waited to see.

Great series looking for more.

Fun and crazy characters, all age groups joined together to create havoc. A chef who doesn't know how to cook but solves all the mysteries.

Another good one!

Couldn’t figure this one out either. Great read and relaxing too. The best way to spend a rainy weekend. Kylie is improving in lots of ways besides the kitchen. 🤭
