I read the first Jules and Bun book prior to reading this one and I was on the fence about the series. However, after reading this one I have decided it is one I will continue to follow for as long as they are written.

Jules Bridge, being a rabbit farmer, is invited to participate in the community event Hop Til You Drop, Easter festivities hosted by the town council for families. She readily agrees and in the process of hiding the eggs, finds the extremely unlikeable supervisor dead and a giant rabbit running away from the scene. Bun snaps into action and wants to investigate and solve the case but Jules is not so sure. However, when more bodies keep turning up and Jules is attacked, she and Bun cannot stay away from sleuthing.

This was a fun book to read. Although the premise of Bun being able to communicate is a little silly, it adds to the whimsy of the story. I did question one time when Jules said his voice "dripped with sarcasm." Do bunnies know how to be sarcastic? I also like that he makes jokes. I wish we had heard a little more about Petra, one of Jules' rabbits and her kits but maybe they will be more focal in the next story.

I guessed a little of the end twist but for the most part, I was surprised at the ending (which is a good thing). Definitely recommend this book for cozy mystery lovers and animal fanciers.

Juliette and Bun are back and this time they are hiding eggs and finding bodies. Jules and Bun make a dynamic and psychically linked duo, which is decidedly different and unique. This time Jules is actually invited to use her people skills by Sheriff Carver. There is also a hint of romantic interest, perhaps to be expounded on in later stories, because Jules reassures Bun that he is the only guy for her. She is entirely too busy between the rabbit sanctuary and the wool shop she is up to her ears in work and has no time for a romantic involvement even if it does seem that she is turning a few heads. Of course this does seem to happen in conjunction with finding dead bodies or finding herself injured. Truly entertaining, and who couldn't love a Bunny with "super powers" as a side-kick!

This is the perfect read to banish the final days of a gloomy, wet winter. It's time for Easter and the traditional Easter egg hunt. Jules and her pet bunny, Bun are looking forward to not only helping to hide the eggs but to get some welcome coverage for the bunny sanctuary and her entertainment business. Sounds great but she didn't imagine that she and Bun would stumble over the dead body of the aptly named Della Meany, the woman who was running the show and who lived up to her name.
Not only do they discover her corpse but Jules sees a human leaving the scene of the crime wearing an Easter bunny outfit.
With Bun as her partner in the investigation - can you say telepathic communication? - Jules sets out to unmask the killer before she becomes the next target. She works well with the sheriff and tries to stay out of it but the safety of Bun and herself is soon on the line and that makes the difference.
I love Bun (I always wanted to have a bunny as a kid) and I love cozies so this series is a no brainer for me. The mystery is wonderfully complex with enough twists, turns and red herrings to keep me guessing wrong to the very satisfying ending. This is a series that has earned its spot on my TBR list.
My thanks to the publisher Kensington and to NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is the 3rd installment in this charming series. I love the crime fighting duo of Jules and Bun. Jules runs a rabbit rescue and is telepathic. She can communicate with Bun and Bun helps her solve crimes. The setting of Easter is perfect and hops along with Jules dressed as a Easter Bunny delivering eggs for the kids. This was a adorable next in series with a fun sleuth and equally fun charcters including the rabbits. A must read for all animal lovers. The Easter time theme was done to perfection by the author.

Thank you to the publisher and to Net Galley for the opportunity. My review opinion is my own.

This is the third book in the Jules and Bun series. Jules and her telepathic bunny are helping with the annual Easter egg hunt when they discover the body of the obnoxious supervisor of the event.

I enjoy the premise of this series would would really like to know more about how Bun became telepathic. I like the small town setting and the bunny rescue. I would like to see more bunnies find their forever homes.

The mystery is well done with a number of red herrings to keep me guessing. I always enjoy finding out the true cause of the crime. I appreciate that Sheriff Carver is a settled man and not a love interest for Jules. As a lover of all that is fiber, I really enjoy the descriptions of the various fiber arts.

The secondary characters add to the storyline and I particularly love reading about Jessica, the veterinarian.

This is a delightful series to enjoy on a lazy afternoon.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you like cozy mysteries with a difference, then look no further! I loved this cozy by J.M. Griffin with its unusual telepathic rabbit. Hop 'Til You Drop, the 3rd instalment in a terrific series, is set in a quaint New Hampshire town.

Juliette ‘Jules’ Bridge owns and runs a sanctuary for rescued rabbits. In this instalment, Jules is helping out with this year's Easter egg hunt and festival. Whilst hiding the eggs for the children to find, her black and white rabbit, Bun, stumbles over a dead body - it's festival committee member Della Meeny. Jules and Bun begin investigating, then they find another body...

Jules is well-drawn and very likeable in terms of her fearlessness and determination but her decision-making is extremely flawed as she regularly finds herself in undesirable situations. Bun, Jules’ telepathic black and white rabbit has a penchant for sleuthing, assisting Jules to solve crimes in their community. Bun is sweet, very wise and observant, though garrulous and stole many a scene from the other characters all of whom are fascinating in themselves. The pacing is perfect for the story and with an effortlessly transitioning plot-line, the suspense builds as the story progresses, right up until the surprising conclusion. I just had to keep turning those pages and I didn’t guess the identity of the perpetrator in this fantastic mystery, although I had them on my plausible suspect list.

I’m game to see what shenanigans Jules and Bun get into next and if you’re looking for an alternative cozy mystery read, then I heartily recommend Hop 'Til You Drop.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Kensington Books via NetGalley and this review is my own unbiased opinion.

Hop 'Til You Drop by J. M. Griffin is the 3rd book in the Jules & Bun Mystery series, and another fun story. Juliette “Jules” Bridge runs a rabbit rescue farm in New Hampshire, and Bun is her rabbit who speaks to her through mental telepathy. Jules and the town is hiding eggs for the Easter hunt, when they find the body of their cranky supervisor dead decorated in Lily of the Valley and eggs. Jules saw a person in a bunny suit running away, and the sleuthing begins. I love the unique aspect of Jules communicating with her rabbit. A fun, cozy mystery with plenty of twists and turns. I recommend this book and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I gotta admit to being a fan of Bun, the telepathic rabbit who helps Jules solve crimes. He's a smart one. New readers (and this is fine as a standalone) should know that this doesn't get twee, although at times there's just a bit too much bunny stuff. Jules runs a rescue for rabbits and she also volunteers, this time on an Easter egg hunt. She takes Bun with her and then they find Della Meeny, the organizer dead and laid out in an odd way. Hers isn't the only body they find. It's a classic cozy so you know there are multiple suspects, some red herrings, and a little back and forth with the sheriff. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. It's a pleasant read.

4.5/5

Hop 'Til You Drop is a fantastic addition to the Jules and Bun mystery. I have read the first two books of this series and I am impressed with the character development and the plot. Bunnies, Easter and a murder - Jules has her hands full between looking after Petra and her kits, managing the rabbit farm and solving a crime!

The ending is superb. I couldn't identify the perp until the end. Overall, this was an engrossing and entertaining cozy mystery.

What a fun book! This is the first book I've read in this series and I loved it. This is a well written cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the end. Grab this book and forget your troubles for a little while. Thank you Kensington Books via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is such a fun series, and I had a great time with this cozy mystery. I loved the plot, the twists and turns, and the characters!

Hop Til You Drop is a fantastic cozy mystery with the coolest duo of all, Bun and Jules. The main character Jules owns a rabbit farm and has a telepathic connection with one of her rabbits named Bun. They work fabulously together and the witty repertoire is perfect. The mystery is solid and had me questioning if maybe some of the other main characters might be involved. I absolutely loved it and now will go back and read the first two. This will make a great addition to any cozy mystery library. I highly recommend it.

This is a first in the series for me. It was easy to follow along with the characters. Jules Bridge is an interesting character who communicates with Bun her pet rabbit. This was a cute Easter cozy with an egg hunt which the organizer is found dead. Did the Easter Bunny Jules seen running away a murderer? Fun, quick read with a cute mystery.

This was a fun read. Jules Bridge solves murder mysteries with the help of her rabbit Bun. Bun communicates with Jules telepathically. It helps that Bun has a great sense of smell and also has a great sense about people. I love the name of the murder victim, Della Meeny. Her surname sure suited her. This is the third book in author J.M. Griffin's Jules & Bun Mystery series. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Hop 'Til You Drop is the third installment in the Jules & Bun Mystery series set in small town New Hampshire and featuring rabbit rescuer, Juliette "Jules" Bridge and her pet rabbit, Bun. Springtime has come to Windermere and Jules has been invited to participate in the Hop 'Til You Drop Easter Egg Hunt and festival.

The day of the Egg Hunt Jules and Bun are busy hiding eggs for the kids when Bun stumbles upon the dead body of festival committee member, Della Meeny. The woman had a reputation for being a "meanie" but she didn't deserve to be murdered and Jules has a sneaking suspicion that the person dressed in a rabbit costume hopping away from the scene is the killer. As Jules and Bun investigate they find another body - is someone stashing bodies like eggs?

A fast paced plot with the return of series regulars, veterinarian Jessica, fiber arts specialist Molly and Sheriff Carver. I still am struggling as to why nobody ever comes to Fur Bridge Farm to visit with or adopt the rabbits, but plenty of people come to take the crafting classes. Please, please can Jules start finding the perfect homes for the rabbits? Readers new to the series might find a "talking" rabbit a little hard to digest - but the interaction between Bun and Jules is a delightful addition to the series.

I received an advanced copy of Hop 'Til You Drop from NetGalley via Kensington Publishing. While not required to write a review I am happy to offer my honest opinion.

With Bun by her side, Jules has her work cut out for her. A simple egg hunt turns into a hunt for a killer. With a vision of a bunny suited human included A delightful read!

What could be more fitting at Easter than a rabbit rescue owner dressed as the Easter Bunny at an egg hunt? With wonderful characters and lots of twists and turns and plenty of fun, this is an enjoyable mystery. Looking forward to more "rabbit" adventures.

This is the third installment in the Jules and Bun Mystery series. Jules Bridge runs a rabbit rescue and rehabilitation at her Fur Bridge Farm and can communicate with her pet rabbit Bun. Jules offers to help out at a local Hop Til You Drop Easter Egg hunt and of course Bun wants to tag along. The organizer is found dead staged in the field and Jules sees someone dressed like the Easter bunny running away. Jules and Bun are on the case and another body is found along with her being attacked which prompts her to back off and she does share all that she has seen and finds even when she is not trying over to the sheriff. This is a good mystery with lots of possible suspects and ways it could have gone. I enjoyed the mystery and look forward to the next in the series.

I’m still on the fence with this series. The characters are fun and likable, just a bit out of the ordinary for me. I find the book to be more cutesy than anything, and even though it’s not a bad thing, I like a little more seriousness in my cozy.

The publisher's blurb is pretty good for starters, but the mystery is well crafted and full of twists and red herrings that hold the reader's interest from beginning to end. Bun is an intelligent and fun pet bunny who communicates with Jules (who has a bunny rescue farm and entertainment business) telepathically. This time Jules and friends are involved involved in a special Easter egg hunt and Jules is the one who finds the first body. And the second as well. I really loved this one, too!
