Buckle up, Buttercup! This ain’t your standard Granny-owns-a-bookstore cozy. In the first place, Granny has disappeared and the Witness Protection people, in their infinite wisdom have ‘sold’ The Red Herring Mystery Bookstore to a Biker-turned-snitch now named Brody Steele. He knows books from zero. And he has a store full of them, in a quaint and cozy town in Pleasant Valley, on the coast of Maine. He also inherited a cat. And customers who want to know what he did with the previous owner.

 

And, of course, a mystery. And murder. And mayhem. And a girlfriend. He just wants to live a quiet life in the cozy town, maybe settle down with his new girlfiend, in a town where his old motorcycle gang will never find him. He’s not interested in the mob next door, or the knitting circle, or even his cat. Alas, they seem a tad interested in him. Too interested.

 

I have to admit, this is one of the bestest cozy mysteries I’ve ever read. However, trigger warning: don’t start this late in the day—it’s a one-sit read!
