At first they gave her the cold shoulder after being gone a few months to Spain. But is now right in the world. I will have to read the other books in the series as this piqued my interest.

Jul 08, Elaine rated it it was amazing. I received a copy of this book for my honest review. This is the second book in this series that I have read. I have not read the first two. I enjoyed this one very much! I wasn't so lost as to who the characters were as I was in the previous book. I still need to go back and read the first two books so I can get to know some of the characters even better. In this book, Merry is trying to figure out who was trying to frame Roma for the murder of one of the town's least favorite people. And then so I received a copy of this book for my honest review.

And then someone tries to run Merry off the road. There are a few suspects and there are a few different things going on that confuse who she thinks did it. And then there is the ending! Jul 23, Kelly rated it really liked it. I was expecting it to be more like a lot of cozies that I have read, focusing on surface issues, but this one dives deeper into the characters, focusing on the relationships and personalities. At times, this was fascinating, but at other times I felt like I needed more investigating and less analysis.

The mystery itself was very well written, but the way it all wrapped up felt slightly too convenient. Aug 17, Henrietta rated it it was amazing. Loved the last few pages. Jun 18, A. Frailey rated it it was amazing. I've enjoyed this whole series. The characters are diverse, interesting, and true to life. The mystery keeps me guessing and the plot works well. The romance comes off as honest and uplifting. Jul 31, Sloane Collins rated it it was amazing.

When Merry Wynter returns home to her castle in upstate New York, she finds her best friend has brought a high-strung and overly dramatic opera singer, Roma, to let her relax and recover from a crippling case of stage fright. Although she escapes unscathed this time, Merry and a friend find Minnie murdered in her post office just days later…with the same letter opener plunged into her body. I really enjoy the Merry Muffin Mystery series.

Not to mention our intrepid amateur sleuth lives in a castle! I like the arc Merry has made from the first book to now, in her relationships as well as within herself. One of the things I like the best about her is the compassion she has for Minnie. Be sure to read to the very last page to see what happens! There are plenty of red herrings to keep the reader guessing as to who the murderer is! This is a very well-written mystery, and hopefully there will be more in the series.

I received the book in exchange for an honest review. Aug 12, K. Davis rated it it was amazing. I am so glad I did make time and will go back and catch up with the preceding three books! Since I started with the fourth book on the series, I felt like I had some catching up to do to figure out the characters and how they related to the protagonist, Merry Wynter.

There was backstory from previous books that would have helped, but by about one third of the way into the book, the author filled in what I needed to know and made the book more enjoyable. In addition to a tightly written mystery with several suspects that kept me guessing, Victoria Hamilton weaves the theme of home into the story. The love for family, friends, and family history pulls her in and allows her to create a home where she wants to stay and allow her heart to mend.

The author includes a couple of muffin recipes at the back of the book…both sound absolutely delicious and perfect for upcoming fall weather. I received a copy in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts and views are my own. Aug 02, Rosemary K rated it it was amazing.

Why she even has a temperamental opera singer staying at the Castle just to make he best friend, Pish, happy. Virgil and Merry have wonderful chemistry. I enjoyed seeing them together. Their banter is flirtatious and their attraction sexy.

Victoria Hamilton has written a suspenseful mystery filled with devious suspects, hidden motives and unexpected twists. This author kept me on the edge of my seat. So many people disliked Minnie that I had no idea who killed her. I loved the setting. Upstate New York in the Fall is perfect. There are so many people with motives that I didn't know until the end who killed Minnie and why.

I was so worried that Emerald would be hurt by the outcome. Much Ado About Muffin was a satisfying cozy. I loved the characters, the romance and the suspenseful mystery. I'm never disappointed when I read Victoria Hamilton.

This is the fourth book in the series and I have read them all, although Merry is just returning from two months in Europe herself, I think it might be a little hard to follow some of the things going on in this book if you have not read the previous ones.

Merry finds that Pish, her great friend and mentor, has installed a temperamental diva of an opera singer in her castle as his newest salvation project. Roma and the postmistress at the Autumn Vale post office have gotten into it while she was gone and when Minnie, the postmistress turns up dead, Merry and her house guest get dragged into the mystery. Because this murder happened at the post office the FBI is called in so Sheriff Virgil Grace cannot take as active a role as he would like but protecting Merry and those that she loves is still high on his list.

While trying to piece together what happened in spite of the fact that Merry also had no love for Minnie, and wants her "castle guest" Roma out she feels she must get involved as other friends have ties to people she feels are suspects. This mystery had lots of twists and turns and was fun until the very end!!!!!

It was good to see Merry, Pish, Virg, and others - This series continues to get better with each novel.

Roma is a diva's diva, but has of late suffered from terrible fear of being in front of her audience, losing her beautiful voice when she tries to sing. However, this kind of muffin was a sweet yeast-based pastry product that is different than from what we know today.

The "muffin man", a kind of tradesman who purchased muffins for resale from the local baker in the mornings and early afternoons already existed in the last century. With his bell he praised the freshly fragrant pastry to the tea-loving British. His distinctive characteristic was that he carried his sales tray on his head. In Victorian England, muffins were already one of the most popular national pastries. With the stream of emigrants from Europe, muffins also found their new home in the land of boundless opportunities.

How did the transition from a yeast pastry to a simple batter biscuit come about? This question remains unanswered, but there might be a plausible explanation: Could it be that the first American pioneers did not have yeast at their disposal?! The USA and Canada are fast moving countries. American housewives do not like to spend endless hours in the kitchen - everything has to be done quickly. Therefore, muffins are a kind of fast-food pastry. Baking muffins is as easy as pie! The basic batter is made in 10 to 15 minutes.

The baking time is between 20 and 25 minutes.
