Double Shot Death

By Emmeline Duncan

Book Overview

With its entrepreneurial, 20-something protagonist, focus on a hipster-run food truck pod in Portland, Oregon, and real-world issues involving homelessness and gentrification, this second Ground Rules Mystery is a modern, fresh-voiced, and witty cozy featuring a sleuth who can make a perfect cup of coffee! Fresh Brewed Murder is a fresh, updated cozy mystery that offers strong appeal to Millennial and Gen Z readers. Sage Caplin is taking her Portland coffee cart on the road to a sustainable music festival, but murder is an unwanted special guest... At Campathon, an annual eco-friendly festival held on a farm outside of Portland, fans celebrate the Pacific Northwest's music scene in quintessential PDX style--with gourmet food carts, reusable utensils...and lots of coffee. How else to get through three days of nonstop entertainment? Sage has scored a coveted place for her Ground Rules coffee cart thanks to her new-ish boyfriend, Bax, who's friendly with Maya, one of the musicians performing. The festivities begin with a stream of customers, friends, and acquaintances stopping by for Ground Rules' world-class blends, expertly brewed by Sage and her newest barista. But there are tensions between Maya and her former bandmates, who are on the cusp of making it big, and with Ian, the band's manager. When Sage stumbles upon Ian's dead body in the nearby woods--his hand still clutching one of her coffee mugs--it's clear that someone's grudge boiled over into murder. Can Sage work out who's responsible before another innocent life fades out, and the curtain falls on Campathon, and maybe her own future, for good?

Cozy Mystery

This is a Cozy Mystery, and this is the second book in A Ground Rules Mystery series. I have read and reviewed the first book in this book series before picking up this book. I do not think you need to read the first book before reading this book. I really liked this book. The characters are so much fun and developed. The mystery was fun and kept me thinking, and I really enjoyed trying to figured the mystery in this book. In this book the coffee cart is at a music festival, and I found the setting fun, and I love that the setting is different then the first book. This series is a really good cozy mystery series that I will keeping reading. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
