ABOUT THE BOOK

Series: The CafFUNated Mysteries #2
Author: Angela Ruth Strong
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: July 1, 2019
Genre: Inspirational Cozy Mystery

Can a couple of baristas chase down a car thief without spilling a drop of their favorite drinks?

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.

REVIEW

Let me start with a disclaimer: I didn’t read A Caffeine Conundrum (the first book in the series). I know, I know. All of you who are shaking your heads at me right now have the right to do so but there are only so many hours in a day and even more books!

With that said, it took me a little while to get these two main characters straight in my head (but not so long a while that it became annoying). I’m sure part of that was because I was picturing their personalities opposite of how the author wrote them. These are two ladies who, despite their differences, have each other’s backs when the going gets tough.

Angela Ruth Strong gives readers a cozy mystery bursting with the perfect combination of suspense, romance, memorable small town characters, and plenty of relationship conflict sprinkled with a dash of humor on top. And, like the cookies Marissa serves, there’s a lesson for every reader in any kind of relationship served on the side to sweeten the story.

Grab your favorite brew and settle in with Marissa, Tandy, their boyfriends, and the rest of Grace Springs for a delightful read. Bonus, you’ll get a peek into what’s next for this dynamic duo!
