pick3.75/5⭐️ An enjoyable diversion, but the mystery revolved around ways to introduce fungi or bugs or disease in grapes or other foods. Kind of not what I want to read about in the middle of a plague. I enjoy the series, but I want to live in Crozet about as much as I want to live in Midsomer or Kembleford.
“You‘re as nuts as the rest of them.” Harry laughed a true deep, dump-the-stress laugh.
“I‘m not insane, honey, just unsane. I greatly recommend it during trying times.”
Boom Boom might be onto something. Perhaps we can use some “unsaneness” these days. Miss Molly By Golly would probably concur.

“Mary Minor, wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together after God‘s ordinance, in the holy estate of Matrimony?”
Well, it‘s about time.
Way too much of this book deals with speculation about how to kill people with viruses or messing with the food we eat, but it‘s still an enjoyable series. Reading this when I should be reading other things, but oh well.

panThe 13th book in the #MrsMurphy mystery series is a dud. So do yourself a favor, skip number 3 (Murder in Monticello) and also this one. Too much about wine in Virginia, too little mystery, and even the talking animals can‘t save it. Plus it takes forever for the mystery actually to start. Ugh. Hope the next one picks up again.
panIf you like the Mrs. Murphy mysteries, do yourself a favor and skip this one. It's awful! It rambles and it's so boring, I'm shocked I finished it. This book made me think the main character, Harry, is an idiot; the solution, although I didn't care, was so obvious that it was ridiculous. Brown often pushes a political agenda along with her story, but this book is almost all that agenda. I even hated the animals.
