Cold Blooded Brew

Roxy Bloom is in a great mood after finally getting to sleep in her own house after months of waiting for the repairs to be made after a fire. She and her dog Pepper arrive at the Bean Hive Coffee Shop to prepare the food and coffee for the day when they find a dead body sitting in one of her cafe chairs outside her shop. Sheriff Spencer instructs Roxy to leave the investigation to him and the deputies but after one of the suspects asks Roxy to be her lawyer Roxy plows full steam ahead into the investigation. This book is my favorite in the series so far. The mystery was great as there were a couple of mysteries needing to be solved in this book. The twists and turns of the plot kept me on my toes guessing who was involved and why. I really loved how Roxy is now truly part of Honey Springs. I enjoyed seeing Roxy and Patrick have their little arguments in this book, not that I don't want them together but this makes them more realistic. I also enjoyed seeing how Roxy and her mother have repaired their relationship and want to help one another when the other is having problems. Overall I really love how the characters are evolving and becoming more complex and realistic. And being an animal lover; I love how Roxy always sponsors a rescue animal in her shop to help with pet adoptions. I listened to the audiobook too. The narrator is a wonderful voice for Roxy and the rest of our friends of Honey Springs. This was such an enjoyment to listen to. This is the 4th book in the series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone mystery. I recommend this book to all mystery lovers, especially cozy lovers. I was provided with an ARC of this book with the hopes I would review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
