Belinda is the primary focal point in this story, along with Herschel and Monroe as they vie for her affection. She has no interest beyond friendship with either man, as no one can replace her husband. This book takes us into 2 years past the loss of her husband, son and son in law. We see Jared and Amy, Sylvia and her suitor, Dennis, Ezekiel and Michelle, Earl and Virginia, Maude and Mary Ruth and Lenore also make a brief appearance. Vandalism through the off season is non existent, but start up again with the opening of the greenhouse. This year though, there are more threats via the phone messages. Henry has a list of suspects and is determined to find out who it is. He is also not happy about his mom’s two suitor’s and would prefer she remain single. Soon, the greenhouse would just be her and his responsibility though, so she needs to decide what to do with the business. Being the 3rd in the series, this story picks up quickly, though could be read as a stand alone. An enjoyable read.

I'm a fan of Wanda E. Brunstetter and have read many of her books. "The Robin's Greeing is the third Book in the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series.

Belinda King is suddenly widowed and along with her 2 grown daughters and teenage son, they are struggling to keep the greenhouse going. Top on that stress, she has 2 men vying for her attention and a son that isn't happy about it.

Strasburg, Pennsylvania - Belinda King is running her greenhouse despite the difficulties she faces. She and her family are still putting their life together after a tragic loss. On top of that there have been mysterious acts of vandalism and threats which threaten their daily life. Belinda is also dealing with 2 Amish men vying for her affections. This is the third in this Amish Greenhouse Mystery, but can be read as a standalone as well. I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to give a review.

I have now read all three of this series by Wanda E. Brunstetter. So I have become very familiar with the characters. I am really enjoying them. I even am getting an attachment to annoying neighbor Virginia, who likes to "spy" on her Amish neighbors.
The family suffered severe losses in the beginning of this series and this is the story of their greenhouse that they work so hard at only to have unexpected setbacks which again cause loss and sadness. But this adds an interesting mystery to the series that keeps you wanting to read and find out who is behind all of this. There is romance, family conflict and all things which make for a great read. It is very enjoyable. Glad I didn't miss the last book in this series!

The Robin’s Greeting is conclusion to the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series by Wanda Brunstetter. The story of the King family continues as each family member seeks to move forward with their lives two years after the devastating tragedy that left their family broken. It is interesting to see how the mystery satisfyingly unfolds. I loved this book and the series and highly recommend all of them to those fond of Amish fiction.

OMG, Awesome, this was the absolute best, never even saw that coming, I really thought it was the ex-boyfriend doing it or was paying someone to do it. Still haven’t figured out where Maude fit in. One of the questions at the end of the book was if you would agree to do as Belinda did, I gave it a lot of thought and I thought initially I would have gotten the police involved but in the end I think I would have done as she did. Truly wonderful read.

I am sad to see this series coming to an end.. This series has kept me on the edge of my seat and I the characters have endeared to my heart. Many things have changed and in this book a new love, a shocking surprise and we find out who has been causing the vandalism to the greenhouse and property. I was completely shocked at who was doing it and you will be too. This book is about starting over and learning to offer forgiveness. Thank you Wanda for a wonderful Series. Hope to see the characters in another series.

The Robin’s Greeting is a fitting conclusion to the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series. The chronicle of the King family continues as each family member seeks to move forward with their lives two years after the devastating tragedy that shook their family. The plot flows smoothly and steadily as they face relationship challenges and the return of threats and vandalism to their property. Although I guessed the identity of the culprit after the first book, it was still interesting to see how the mystery satisfyingly unfolds. One big revelation took me completely by surprise! I appreciated the spiritual truths that permeated the story relating to salvation and forgiveness, and I loved the endearing characters in this series as God worked transforming their lives and healing relationships. The sweet middle-age romantic triangle is entertaining and at times humorous! This book works well as a stand-alone since Ms. Brunstetter once again provides rich details from previous books to bridge the stories. I do, however, recommend reading all three books in order to get the full effect of the story. I loved this book and the series and highly recommend it especially for lovers of Amish fiction.

The Robin’s Greeting by Wanda E. Brunstetter is the third book in the Amish Greenhouse Mystery series. There are finally answers to many of mysterious goings on around the greenhouse Belinda and her family own on their property. True to the title there is also a pesky robin, but is he trying to convey a message to them? There is plenty of mystery and downfalls along with happy occasions in this story.
I enjoyed this book as well as the previous ones. You can read this as a stand-a-lone but I highly recommend reading the first two books as they are excellent also and the three come together in a wonderful story. This book is very well written with endearing characters that feel like family. The story line draws you into the lives of all the characters and holds you till the end. It flows smoothly from beginning to end. I give this book 5 of 5 stars and recommend it. I have read many of Wanda E. Brunstetter’s books and they never disappoint; this one is certainly no exception.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. I absolutely loved this book and would give it more than 5 stars! I have read every book in this series and have enjoyed every single one. There is romance, humor, mystery and some sadness. I read many books and whenever a new one in the series came out, I was able to just jump right in and continue with the story. It was like visiting old friends!

This book nicely wrapped up this series. It had a few surprises but was a little long for my preference. I was happy to see all of the characters settled and at peace by the end of the series. I recieved a free copy of the book from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Someone are bad to them: left notes and calls to sell home and greenhouse soon, it's so scary! who do that to them? why?
Lovely plain, realistic, mistery story. I recommend it, enjoy!

I love Wanda's books. Her stories are informative with a side of suspense thrown in. The end of this mystery was a twist I didn't see coming.

The Amish Greenhouse Mystery series finally comes to an end with this third and final volume. Events continue to evolve slowly with the Amish family and those who come into contact with them. Someone is still causing problems and wreaking havoc with their farm, threatening them if they don't leave, but matriarch Belinda refuses to call the police. Belinda begins to enjoy some male attention, although, as usual, she moves very slowly. All of the loose ends that the reader has experienced through all the books are finally tied up in a satisfying conclusion. I am glad that I was able to finish the series, but I think perhaps the story could have been told in a single, longer, book. Thanks to NetGalley and Barbour Publishing, Inc., for providing an ARC.

The Amish Greenhouse Mystery trilogy concludes with this story. The mystery is solved but readers will have to read to the end to find out who the culprit is. The author does a great job hiding the answer. Even grumpy Virginia has a surprise! This novel wraps up all the little details that readers wonder about throughout this series. It is a little slow at times but a sweet story that Amish fiction readers will enjoy. Recommended!

I enjoyed this third book in the Amish Greenhouse series. There were places where the storyline moved along slowly for me but the plot had enough turns to keep it interesting. If you are a Wanda Brunstetter fan you’re sure to enjoy this story. Thanks to Barbour Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.

Great book. Suspenseful and I would say romantic. This book didn’t end this way I thought it would, and it was great. Things happen in this series to the family , not bad, and you wonder who’s doing this things. I would recommend this to everyone. If you like Amish books and romance, then this is it.

I was going to wait until closer to the publication date but I couldn't help myself. I just had to open it and start reading! Oh my!
Y'all! This book is full of surprises!
Brunstetter has once again woven another tale about Sylvia, Henry and Belinda. I hate saying goodbye but their story is so fascinating and to see what God has orchestrated for this family is truly amazing!
I've made some wonderful friends from the first book in this series and new ones in this last book.
My heart in a way goes out to Virginia. You see, when I first met her I didn't like her for more reasons than one. I can relate to her on one thing and that's our legs. I have a bum leg too and I felt the pain that Virginia experienced. It's not fun. It hurts!
The mystery that made this series was a good one. I was very surprised when I found out who done it. I never never expected it to be him. Just wow!
Brunstetter sure knows how to keep us in suspense! I never saw that one coming. Blew me away!
I'm gonna end my review with a favorite Bible verse John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him will have ever lasting life. That's a wonderful promise. Ain't so?
I am sad to see this series end but as always I'm looking forward to see what Brunstetter comes out with next!
Definitely 5 stars on this sweet book. Kept my attention the whole way through.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own..
