About this listen

Tate left the LAPD after his partner Jason died. He didn’t want to discuss the traumatic experience with anyone, but when a former brother in blue arrives in Sequoia, Tate is forced to confront his demons or start running again.

Zion has made a home in Sequoia, but her conflict between her past with David and her future with Tate must be reconciled. However, when her best friend Rebekah winds up on her doorstep, Zion finds her attention divided between her life and the train-wreck that has become Rebekah’s.

With the first annual Halloween festival fast approaching, the townspeople in Sequoia are confronted with the possibility that violence might once again visit their town, and both Tate and Zion are caught right in the middle of it.

As Halloween approaches, small town Sequoia begins to swathe itself in black crepe paper in expectation of the tourist trade that their celebrations will attract. Two outsiders have already arrived, but not because of Halloween. Zion's best friend from her past life in the city, Rebecca, arrives, suitcases in hand, to spend a few weeks with her, and an old police colleague from L.A. comes looking for Tate: he's rented a cabin just outside the town for a month. Tate was none too happy to see him - old memories revived just as he was trying to play father.

Once again, M.L.Hamilton has filled the town with believable, living (and sometimes outrageous) characters beyond just the main protagonists. And yes, Jaguar is still there, preparing to open his store. Although completely stand alone, Espresso is much enriched if the reader has already met Zion and the other townsfolk in earlier books. The mystery itself is late in developing, the earlier part filled with romantic indecision which This reader would have preferred to be greatly reduced. But when it comes, the story is a good one.

As previously, Kelley Hazen narrates. She has an amazing capacity not only to read the text well, with full intonation and emotion, but also to give really distinctive and appropriate voices to every one of the numerous characters, switching effortlessly between them. She helps being the whole book, and the people, to life. A great performance.

It was good to meet the folks of Sequoia again, despite the twee names of the stores (like the 'Knitatorium', and just check out the deli!). Now I'm just waiting for the next one...

Sequoia, for a place that is supposed to be in rural California, certainly has its share of quirky characters, quirkier shops and murders. It also seems to be the place where die-hard city slickers go to redefine themselves. This certainly is true for cafe owner Zion Sawyer, Tate Mercer, Jaguar and Zion's best friend Rebecca Miles. This book is filled with the usual mayhem associated with Zion Sawyer Cozy Mysteries. Zion's best friend has come to stay indefinitely, Zion's mothers is painting nudes, Zion's relationship with Tate seemed to start before her relationship with David ended only to stall, and so on. In the midst of this, Tate's high school employee, Logan, loses his mother and Tate becomes an foster father. And then Tate's life in LA finds him and things aren't looking good as the death toll rises. Tate and Zion have to knock heads together again to unravel the mystery and protect the people they love.

ML Hamilton writes fabulous, quirky, humorous books and Kelley Hazen's voice pours life into the story. I loved this book and I cannot wait for whatever comes next in the series. It is bound to be just as fabulous!!

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