[Apologies - I pasted my review of "Guide to Murder" to the wrong Geek Girl's Guide. My review of "Guide to Arsenic" is still to come.]
Mia Connors is back, and it's Renaissance Faire time again in their hometown. Mia's family is quite invested in the faire circuit as her Grandmother for years has been making holistic, and natural body beauty products and now she has finally reached the point where her beauty products have been picked up by a big company, Mia has brought herself a small condo and is concentrating on her IT Business and her sister Bree has just had a gorgeous baby called Gwen. Things are finally perking up, especially since three months ago Mia was accused of killing her friend Baxter by Detective Jake Archer. Now though it seems trouble is coming to target Mia and her family once again as they find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation when a close fellow Renaissance Faire friend John is poisoned. With rumors flying that it was their Grandmother's product that killed him, sales take a nosedive and then their booth is burned to the ground. Jake Archer is back on the case, this time with the US Marshalls office. Mia being ever so curious will enlist the help of her friends and family to discover who killed John and clear her family's business before they stand to lose everything that they have worked for. What will happen though as when Mia starts to close in, her family becomes threatened? On the other hand, Mia's best friend Nate is wanting to invest in a company and purchases a computer RPG called Reign. Will this be a bad or good investment for him? As someone who sees themselves a Geek Girl, I loved this book as it brought together my favorite things - Geek Chic Lit and Cozy Mysteries. I am now looking forward to reading the other books in the Geek Girl's Mysteries series.
