Happy publication day! Thank you Justine Maxwell and Electively Paige for the advanced reader copy of Murder and Macchiatos by Justine Maxwell. This is a really fun cozy mystery and I cannot wait to read more in the series.
Life is good in Pine Lakes, Arizona for barista Hazel Hewitt. While her mom and grandma run their family’s cafe, she’s buzzing about town in their new coffee truck with her trusty dog, Latte. But when the body of her cheating ex-boyfriend is found outside her truck, all eyes turn to Hazel.
Thankfully, she has her ride-or-die best friend and her detective big brother on her side. Convincing her brother’s new partner, the handsome—and grumpy—NYC detective who just moved to their small town, will be a lot more difficult.
Hazel Hewitt is a fun main character. I like that she has the initiative to run her own coffee truck to help support her family business. When trouble hits, Hazel is the first to try to figure out what the problem is. I feel like since her brother is a police detective it helps her know the procedures and to ask the correct questions.
The supporting cast is really fun. I enjoyed Hazel’s best friend and grandma. The grumpy police detective is a great possible romance for Hazel and I want to learn more about his back story.
The mystery was pretty clear cut but with a few twists it did make you wonder if Hazel was going to get the killer before she was killed.
Overall, this was a quick cozy mystery that I really enjoyed. I look forward to reading book two in the series when it is published.
