2021 Reading Challenge: a book that takes place in a restaurant

Uncommon Grounds by Sandra Balzo

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


On the morning of the grand opening of Uncommon Grounds, the towns newest and first gourmet coffee shop, Maggy walks in to help with getting the shop open to find one of the co-owners, Patricia, on the floor behind the counter dead. Maggy finds herself embroiled in trying to figure out who killed her friend and business partner while struggling to actually open the business so she doesn't lose everything.

for a routine cozy murder mystery, this was OK. I do admit that I didn't see the twist, but I wasn't actively looking for it. The book and story wasn't bad. It certainly had lots of funny lines. But like with pretty much any other cozy mystery I've ready, I found the "heroine"annoying because she doesn't listen to people who actually know things, puts herself in danger and honestly at times was just making me "why the hell are you not thinking before you do something" a LOT.

Cannot say I will be actively looking to continue this series, but should the next book cross my path, I won't run the other way.
