Description
Ushered once again onto another committee by the mayor of Snowberry Creek, Washington, Abby is tasked with keeping the box office receipts of the town's Movies in the Park nights. Cut to the director's chair from where she's suddenly organizing the summer's last feature. From the opening scene through the final credits, Abby feels she's earned nominations for best volunteer, best movie date with her tenant Tripp Blackston--and best daughter for ignoring her mother Phoebe's own movie date with Owen Quinn.
Unfortunately, Abby and the others are treated to a post-credits scene: the body of local insurance agent Mitchell Anders. This discovery is followed by a plot twist revealing that the murder weapon comes from Owen's food truck. With her mother's boyfriend suspected of murder, Abby starts her own investigation determined to shine a spotlight on the real killer...

Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of DEATH BY INTERMISSION (Book 4 of the Abby McCree Mysteries) by Alexis Morgan in exchange for an honest review. Community service has been one of the themes of Abby McCree’s life since she moved to Snowberry Creek. Thus, Abby finds herself responsible for organizing, running, and cleaning up after the last of this year’s Movies in the Park. During cleanup, Abby is confronted by another theme of her life in her new town: murder. When Abby and her mother, Phoebe, find a murdered man that evening, Abby’s mother is in a tizzy. When Phoebe’s mysterious new boyfriend Owen becomes the chief suspect, Phoebe erupts in an anti-police frenzy. Abby clashed with her mother over several issues: Abby’s continuing to live away from the rest of her family; Abby’s relationship with U.S. Veteran Tripp Blackston; and Abby’s insistent support of local law enforcement. Frazzled by her mother’s constant haranguing, Abby frequently flees her house to escape her mother, and, against her better judgment and promises to the contrary, investigating both Owen’s secrets and the murder.
I liked this book and enjoy the series. I recommend this book to fans of the series. I recommend the series to fans of cozy mysteries featuring murder, a heroine new to town, community service, veterans, and a doggy sidekick.

This is just an outstanding book. I love Abby McCree, Tripp and Zeke. In fact, this book makes me want a mastiff! This was yet another excellent addition to this series. This is able to be read as a stand-alone as well. I love books about veterans and dogs and this series is brimming with them. I loved the addition of Owen and Abby's mom which added a whole other dimension to Abby’s character.
Morgan makes you care about her characters and the outcome of the entire storyline.
I have to say I did not figure this one out until about 80% through. Ms.Morgan has written a true cozy mystery with no sex or swearing.
I highly recommend this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Abby McCree is at it again. Finding a dead body that is. As they are cleaning up after the movie in the park Abby and her mother Phoebe stumble upon a dead man. OwEn Quinn is quick to identify the victim and ends up becoming the main suspect mostly because it was his chef knife that did the victim in. Is Owen guilty? He seems to be protecting someone but who? And how deep does his secrets go? The more she gets involved the more Abby realizes Owen isn't guilty but he won't talk.Lots of twist and turns in this great book. Couldn't stop reading.
