Summary
Kip O’Connor lives a simple life in the little seaside town of Pearl Bay. Unless it’s tourist season, things tend to be pretty peaceful. There is, however, one never-ending source of irritation in the form of Police Chief Merrick Dawson.
Merrick is Kip’s older brother’s BFF, and nothing seems to bring Merrick more joy than nagging Kip about silly things. You’d think a police chief would have more important things to do than lecture Kip on parking tickets and picking up pet waste, but somehow Merrick always finds the time.
Kip decides to take an art class at the local community college, and he’s annoyed to find Merrick has also enrolled in the course. The instructor takes a shine to Kip, and soon they become friends outside of class. Merrick warns Kip of the dangers of blurring those lines and befriending his teacher, but Kip is flattered by the attention.
When his art teacher is found stabbed through the forehead with a palette knife, Kip is determined to figure out who killed his new friend. Merrick naturally thinks Kip getting involved in the investigation is a horrible idea, but when has Kip ever listened to that irksome, pig-headed Merrick Dawson?
This is book one in the brand-new Kip O'Connor M/M Cozy Mystery series. Each book has a cozy feel to it, and there is a strong romantic (slow-burn) story line in each book. No steam, but some mild violence is present.

Good fun cozy mystery
I liked the narrator’s voice and style. He vocalized the different characters clearly.
I love Kip and Merrick’s slow burn relationship. Looking forward to the gradual reveal of their HEA in the succeeding books. The mystery had enough twists for me - as well as some lucky coincidences!

Entertaining story wonderfully narrated
An enjoyable, mystery with the MC being Kip O'Connor, a local born and bred in Pearl Bay. It's always been a quiet life, not including the pranks and teasing from his older brother and his best friend, Merrick, who now happens to be the Chief of Police.
Now he's embroiled in the murder of a local teacher who is new to town and seemed to like Kip. There's a lot of quirky characters involved, some seeming more shady than others but I love the community feel among them. The non-friendship between Kip and Merrick is fun to read. It reminds of children on the playground when one likes the other but pulls their hair to get their attention. Kip still holds a grudge from childhood pranks and Merrick doesn't help his own cause with teasing comments but Merrick really stands up for Kip in the dangerous moments he finds himself needing help. The murder mystery is really good with enough clues to help you along and entertaining enough to keep it light.
The audio of this book is excellent. This is the first time I've heard James Woodrich and he lends his voice very well to all of the characters involved and carries all of the emotion throughout the book. Though, my favourite moment may just be listening to one of the MC's drunk, always guaranteed to raise a smile.
