etter than expected – this was a fun and exciting read!

Ryan and Kirby are friends – and they own a coffee shop which is also a comic book store. The two businesses do not really interesect as they had hoped. But they still try to make it work. When Kirby decides that it is time that the little experiment was brought to a close and continue the shop without his friend, he does not expect things to go smoothly. Things get a whole lot worse when a murder occurs! Performed very well, the plot does not get heavy or indulgent.

the cozy mystery is a new genre to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. it was an exciting mystery that has enough twists and surprises to keep the reader engaged. while I read a lot of hard boiled crime, it was nice to read a story that didn’t have gruesome crimes. the characters were likeable and the setting was vivid.
