Marvels, Mochas, and Murder (Comics and Coffee Case Files, Book 1) by Christine Zane Thomas & William Tyler Davis and narrated by Jeffrey Kafer is a fun listen. Recommend if you enjoy light mysteries revolving around comics, coffee, and friendships.
What’s it about? Ryan and Kirby have been best friends since sixth grade and now, as adults, they own a coffee and comic book shop together. Unfortunately Ryan’s extracurricular activities have finally done him in, or so it is thought. Kirby is left caring for Ryan’s dog (Gambit), the store, and trying to solve the murder. There’s D & D, comic book and coffee knowledge, and some pop-culture references mixed in. I listened to this in one sitting and it held my interest the entire time- despite the shorter book, there are enough characters to keep you guessing.
The narrator, Jeffrey Kafer, did a good job with this. Easy-to-listen-to and smooth narration all around.
Overall I highly recommend, especially if your inner geek is looking for a light mystery.
