Death by Peppermint Cappuccino: 04/13/24

Death by Peppermint Cappuccino by Alex Erickson and Melissa Moran (Narrator) (2023) is the twelfth book in the Bookstore Cafe mystery series. It's Christmastime again in Pine Hills. Krissy is in a present buying mood but she's put off by the strongly voiced opinions of a local church lady who has amassed a small crew of like minded ladies to fight back against what they see is a war on Christmas.

And then one of their targets, Andrew, of Andrew's Gifts ends up murdered in his own shop. While comforting his widow, Krissy sees a connection between his murder and some other strange events in the town. So once again she's in the middle of a murder investigation.

But Krissy isn't just investigating. She's trying to spend the holidays with her father and his girlfriend who are visiting. She wants to spend time with her boyfriend, Paul, assuming he's not also pulled into the investigation in an official capacity.

Like a handful of other reviewers, I figured out who the murderer was. I'm happy I was right because there are two other suspects who could have been but either solution wouldn't have been as satisfying or as tragic.

Five stars
