I had fun reading this latest book in the Alaskan Diner series.
Charlie is a fun character, and this story is fast paced and exciting.
Charlie loves her diner, her friends, and her cat, Eggs Benedict, known as Benny.
What she doesn't like is going to the fair, but when her friend Annie begs Charlie to go with her, she gives in.
Unfortunately for Charlie, a murder hits close to home, and she finds herself trying to find the answers, while trying to figure out how to maneuver her relationships with her friends.

I'm starting to really enjoy this series as I get to know all of the characters.
I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.

I love Camille Minichino's books. The In Miniature series she writes as Margaret Grace is really good and this series has become another that I look forward to reading. In this book one of Charlie's suppliers at the diner meets a bitter end and Trooper enlists the help of his erstwhile team of deputies to solve the crime.

A lot of developments take place in this book. There's somewhat of a falling out between Charlie and Annie, things get a little awkward between Charlie and Chris, we get to hear about Charlie's parents trip to Oregon, and Charlie begins to dream a bit about her own future. I really like how the characters are developing and growing and how we're seeing subtle changes in their lives through the books in this series. Hopefully the series will continue for a long time!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

The third installment in the An Alaskan Diner Mystery Series, Murphy's Slaw, by Elizabeth Logan was such a fun book! This one takes place in the Alaskan summer at the state fair. The band is back together to help diner owner Charlie Cook solve the murder of a high school friend KC. This one was cozy and as the series develops I can really see how fleshed out favorite characters are becoming! I think this series has the ability to be long standing and would recommend to fans of Joanna Fluke's Hannah Swenson Series!

I received this ARC via Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group, in return for an honest review. While the third book in this series, it is easily read as a standalone. Charlie Cook loves her Alaskan hometown, particularly since she’s returned from the lower 48 and a cheating ex. Now running the Bear Claw Diner since her parents retired to enjoy a traveling life, Charlie also dotes on the cat she inherited from them as well. What she doesn’t like is visiting the Alaskan State Fair. Convinced by her best friend, Annie, that it can be a day of research for diner recipes, Charlie and Annie are also conscripted to supplement the local State Police Trooper and investigating a suspicious death. Sadly, they realize the deceased is a high school classmate and things are pointing to murder. But why? Charlie and her intrepid friends, including Benny the cat, know there’s more going on than riding the rides and eating the funnel cakes! This is quite the cast of fun and quirky characters. Charlie is a believable heroine and not hesitant to ask for help from her friends. The setting and the descriptions are the next best thing to visiting Alaska!

The third installment is a solid entry in the Alaskan Diner Mystery series. Please see my complete review at www.reviewingtheevidence.com.

Welcome to the wonderful world of cozy mysteries. Elizabeth Logan knows how to set a scene, create a character, make you feel like you’re right there next to them solving crime. Settle in for the day or night and read this fantastic page turner.

Charlie Cooke left law school, a career as a chef, and a supercilious ex-boyfriend to go back home to Elkview, Alaska and assumed the running of the family diner. It's a small town and law enforcement is without enough staff and the trooper in town is an old family friend who deputized Charlie and two others to help with investigating only when necessary. Like now when an old friend and vendor has been murdered close by the State Fair grounds. The sleuthing is full of misdirection and red herrings in the beautiful and surprising state of Alaska. Excellent!
