The Bookstore Cafe Mysteries are wonderful and so is book 11!! Can't believe I have to wait for book 12 lol.
Thank you NetGalley for a prerelease of Death by Iced Coffee. I’ve read this entire series written by Alex Erickson. I’ve enjoyed every single one, including the newest of the series. Once again Krissy finds herself knee deep in murder, trouble with the law, and insatiable curiosity. Turns out Krissy can’t even stay out of trouble at a 5k.. Will she beat the cops to the killer or will the killer find her first???
One of my favorite authors and series. I suggest reading this book and author. If you haven't read it yet I highly recommend it. Read the books in order. Each 1 gets better and better
Death by Iced Coffee is a Bookstore Cafe Mystery. It takes place in the town of Pine Hills. Krissy Hancock is the main character who owns Death by Coffee, a bookstore and cafe along with her friend and co-owner Vicki Lawyer. There are some of the characters from the other Bookstore Cafe mysteries as well as the added ones to contribute to the story. The story opens with Krissy waiting for the start of a marathon for a run for charity. Rod Maxwell and Alleah Trotter are the two people who have put the race together. There are other runners waiting for the race to start. Glen Moreau, Calvin, Trever and Cassie. It is really hot out and many of the runners have already dropped out. Paul Dalton is one of the town's police officers and Krissy's boyfriend. During the run Krissy is taken off the route when someone calls for help. She finds one of the runners next to the dead boy of Glen Moreau. This is where the story takes off in different story lines.
So much happens in this story that it is hard to put it on paper. I will leave it to the reader to enjoy. There are woman's issues, blackmail, money laundering, charity schemes, etc. to the buildup at the end.
I must say that I did not like the character of Krissy. It made it hard for me to enjoy the story. It is hard to pinpoint why I disliked her. Because of this I don't think I would read any of the other books in this series.
Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Publishing Corp for this ARC.
I enjoyed this book. It’s a fast paced and interesting story. The characters are great. I was surprised by who the killer is. #DeathbyIcedCoffee #NetGalley
Death by Iced Coffee is a fun title for this next installment of the series, featuring Krissy Hancock.
Krissy finds herself running a marathon in sweltering heat, wondering why she just didn't decide to stay home.
The sun and heat wreak havoc on Krissy, causing her to become disoriented and unsure of what she's seeing.
Screams shake her back into focus, and as she nears the person screaming, she sees a body on the ground, unconscious.
Krissy finds herself wrapped up in a bizarre investigation, and things seem off with her relationship with Paul.
I'm not sure what's next for Krissy, but I'm sure she'll be just fine.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
