Publisher Description
“Can a couple of baristas chase down a car thief without spilling a drop of their favorite drink?
Plans for a Valentine’s Day grand opening of a small town coffee shop go awry when the first customer is killed. Evidence points toward the victim being mixed up in a car theft ring, but shop owners Tandy and Marissa have reason to believe he was framed. An assortment of suspects–from a pink-haired heir to Tandy’s charming ex–all seem to know a little too much about grand theft auto.
Without approval from either their boyfriends or the gum-chewing FBI agent in charge, the shop owners go on stakeouts, plan stings, and pursue justice in a high-speed car chase. If they don’t find the killer soon, it might be more than their love lives in trouble.”
My Review:
This is a fun little cozy mystery, just right for those times when you want something light-hearted to read. The tea shop/coffee shop is a great setting for the reader to “meet” the people of this little community. The main characters, Tandy and Marissa, are quirky, but that’s what gives them their charm. The mystery was an interesting one, and the ending was worth reading the book. The author, in a very entertaining way, addresses throughout this story the problem that couples sometimes have communicating well with each other. She gives some good tips for better communication in her author’s notes, so be sure to read those.
This book has a good combination of laughter, suspense, and faith. I had not read the first book in this series, but after I had read the first couple of chapters I had a good grasp on the characters and how they related to each other. I’ll be interested in reading more of this series.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
Patti you always leave good reviews! I’m wondering if you’d comment on my stuff
