This is the first book in the new Cider House Mysteries by well-established cozy author Joyce Tremel who’d recently written a cozy history mystery series as Joyce St. Anthony, Homefront News Mysteries that I really wish could’ve continued until the war in it was done! But I’m happy to see she’s back with a fun, new series, this first book of which I absolutely loved!

My Goodreads review:
Deadly to the Core by Joyce Tremel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just like everything I’ve read by this author, I absolutely loved this and devoured it in just a day. I couldn’t stop reading since it was really compelling and moved along just right. I really enjoyed Kate’s character and all the key players. I was worried about a triangle for a bit there for Kate but not anymore, lol. She and her new friends definitely worked great together and she single-handedly faced off with a killer who apparently didn’t know the old thing about a woman scorned, lol. What a great ending and a new celebration for all the friends! I just can’t wait to read the next in this series, it’s already a winner in my book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book, and my opinions are my own.

I am for sure reading this! I didn’t know the Front page news series was over. That is so sad!

Oh I know, right? I really had hoped there’d be another book so her dad and fiancé could come home after the war. I’d love it if the author could somehow get her book rights then shop a third book (or fourth) somewhere else maybe like St. Martin or Beyond the Page.
