Summary

Zion has settled into her new routine in Sequoia. She runs her coffee shop, spends her evenings on dinner dates with her lawyer boyfriend, and enjoys the calm, quiet of her little cottage. However, summer tourist season begins, and the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce decides to hold Redwood Stock.

The rock festival brings a whole new clientele to sleepy Sequoia - loud music, tattoos, and late night parties - but it also brings revenue...until a young woman drops dead after the concert, and everyone becomes a suspect. Once again, Zion teams up with ex-cop Tate Mercer to find the murderer before anyone else is killed.

Probably a briefs kind of guy.

The Sequoia small town is used to tourists: the quaintly named shops depend upon them for survival. But they were ill prepared for, and not overly delighted by, the enormous surge of increased visitors which accompanied Redwoodstock, the first rock music festival held on the fairground venue. And even more young people flocked to meet Jaguar, lead singer of the headliner group, who elected to stay on with his two body guards, working in Zjon's cafe after the concert was over. He'd grown up in the town and wanted to be close to his sick mother as well as, hlpefully, write something to revive his group's flagging stardom.
Jaguar's help was very welcome, apart from the crowds he attracted. He was an expert with the recalcitrant espresso coffee machine and the shop was understaffed,: the usual barrister, Dimos, was under unofficial house arrest following the death of his girlfriend. Once again, retired police officer Tate was seconded to help the local force investigate, with Zion helping him.

This second book in the Zion Sawyer series is even better than the first, filled with quirky well developed protagonists and ongoing decisions of romance. The rock singer Jaguar, is a delight, despite his tats and piercings, and the mystery is pretty good, too. A fun book and an easy listen,, with narrator Kelly Hazen giving excellent voicing to all of the story's inhabitants, bringing them still further to life, as well as reading the intervening text with delicious tone and good inflection. A good performance of a fun cozy mystery.
Recommended.

Zion Sawyer's adventures continue...

There are certain combinations you can count on. Like sausages and mash; hot chocolate and marshmallows; and curry and rice. Books written by ML Hamilton and narrated by Kelley Hazen are just such a stellar combination. This is the second book from the Zion Sawyer series and it certainly met and exceeded my expectations.

For a city-turned-small-town woman who is a coffee shop owner, Zion has a surprisingly exciting life. Her peace-loving barista is a suspect in a murder and Zion finds herself helping with the investigation. Meanwhile she is dating the perfect man for her city-self which would be great if she was still her city-self. So she finds herself dating one man while thinking of another. To top it off, while her barista is taking a break while the murder is being solved, an arrogant celebrity rockstar is filling in for him. Life certainly isn't boring in Sequoia.

This book is fast-paced, interesting and surprising. Things never are quite as they seem in Sequoia.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
