Summary
Now that spring has arrived and the snow has melted, Zion and Tate look forward to warmer weather, more customers, and time to explore the beautiful Sierras. Logan is doing well in his final year in school and Zion is about to open the coffee kiosk. Everything is running smoothly.
Until Lorenzo Whitefeather summons Tate to the Acorn Casino with a mysterious death he needs help solving before the federal government gets involved. Zion doesn’t like Tate entangling himself with the taciturn, intimidating casino boss, so she insists on helping him solve yet another mystery.
So much for leaving the mean streets of San Francisco for paradise.

Laugh out loud funny!
As a reader, you don't expect to think that a murder mystery is going to be laugh out loud funny. But this audiobook surely is! If I could ask ML Hamilton a question, I would want to know how she comes up with these fantastic (albeit slightly mad) characters. For instance, Zion Sawyer's Mum's penchant for trying weird and wonderful hobbies that get wilder and more absurd with each subsequent book.
This book is fantastic with its complex layers. The characters deal with real issues (for instance, Logan in the foster care system, another character's experiences with domestic violence, and Tate with his PTSD). However, just when there is a risk of things to getting too heavy, ML Hamilton throws in a humourous lifeline. There is clearly an artful way of combining the serious with the silly that ML Hamilton has perfected!
The entire series is teeming with wonderful characters and Kelley Hazen is committed to narrating the book in such a way that, from the first sound of her voice, she manages to drop the audience straight back into Sequoia. I love how we get to meet with the wonderful characters again and again. And while Zion is the star of the series, Tate just keeps getting better and better. This time he is just so.... ooo la la! Wonderfully vulnerable, flawed and delicious. Can I have a scoop of him to go?
Personally for me the biggest plus in this fantastic book is the end. Just when I can feel myself getting sad that the story is coming to a close, Kelley Hazen informs us that there is another book on it's way. Hooray!! I am not ready to say goodbye to Sequoia just yet!
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

I have a business to run
Zion Sawyer has now been in Sequoya for almost a year: her inherited coffee shop is doing well and the Half Caf is about to open. Her best friend has established herself in the small town, too, and her relationship with David might be getting serious whilst Zion and Tate, ex policeman and owner of the local hardware store, grow ever closer. All is well - until Tate is summoned by casino boss, Lorenzo Whitefeather, who demands Tate take charge of the investigation of the body that had been found on Tribe land in his premises: and Lorenzo is not someone who takes no for an answer. Then Ziion's parents arrive, with friends, there's a new girl in town looking for work in the cafe, and Tate's foster son, Logan, seems to be acting strangely - not to mention Jaguar, Noah and Demos...
Another fun murder mystery set amidst the charismatic folks of a small town with fancy shop names. But it is the intertwining lives of those people which makes the book so enjoyable: M.L.Hamilton has created characters who really seem to have lives of their own and narrator Kelley Hazen reinforces this feeling as she draws on a cornucopia of voices to give individuality to every person there.
This is the fifth of a good cozy series, definitely a stand alone but enhanced if the characters have been met before in the earlier books. Reading one of the Zion Sawyer mysteries is like taking a brief vacation in a familiar holiday setting and catching up with old acquaintances..
