I was attracted to the series by the name of the series Garden Girls and due to the illustration on the cover I thought the girls would be flower gardening which I love. From the advertisement for the download it seemed Book 1 was free with a nominal price for Books 2 and 3 that I would have paid if interested in the series. To my delight as I finished the 1st story I realized the entire box set was available within the download so I happily kept reading Books 2 and 3.
The Garden Girls Club is formed as the girlfriends decide to visit shut-ins in their neighborhood to share the fruits and vegetables from their own gardens. Knowing how much a loved one appreciated being able to order fresh fruits and vegetables last year when the surrounding counties in our area were under months of "stay-at-home" orders it was lovely to learn the mission of the group even sans flowers. The "Garden Girls" are Gloria Rutherford, Lucy Carlson, Dorothy (Dot to her friends) Jenkins, Margaret Hansen, and Ruth Carpenter. The neighborhood is Belhaven, a small town in West Michigan, and there's one "field trip" for two of the friends to Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
After reading the series, I saw another advertisement that suggested it's "Golden Girls" meets "Murder She Wrote" and I must confess I laughed out loud as it captures the charm of the series.
For those that like to try new recipes from cozy mysteries, the opening stories have 2 comfort food recipes for humans of Gloria's Pot Roast and Gloria's Blissful Baked Macroni 'n Cheese and for canine pleasure there's Pumpkin Dog Biscuits.
I enjoyed the 3 stories and I was quite happy to spend more time with the girls. Although each story can be read as a stand-alone some of the delight within each story would definitely be missed as it builds on past experiences. I'll simply ask those new to the series to take my word for it as I don't ever include spoilers. To date, there are 23 novels in the series so there are many adventures ahead for reading pleasure.

I've read other books by this author. This is not my favorite of the series that she writes. I feel that the characters are not very well rounded. I don't feel like I know much about any of the "Garden Girls"; they are supposedly gardeners, but we rarely see them doing anything garden-related. The mysteries seem too dry and not very complicated. Reading three in a row in the box set probably didn't help that. Book 3 is a bit better than the first two in my opinion. ( )
