-New Berkley releases for the month of June!
These are first in a new series releases and each of them were really good. With in depth plots and characters that meshed very well together. I have an interest in the Amish though, so HEARSE AND BUGGY captured my attention and is a series I will be sure to follow. It has a different theme to it that is interesting and educational of the Amish lifestyle at the same time. I really liked it. THE AZALEA ASSAULT was equally as good, but more typical of the mystery cozies I read.
