A High Tide Murder: 05/17/24

A High Tide Murder by Emily George and Chelsea Stephens (Narrator) (2024) is the second book in the Cannabis Café mystery series. Chloe's new café is doing well and she's having trouble keeping up with demand during the Azalea Bay Pro Challenger Surf Competition.

Just as she's starting to set her mind on hiring help she's thrust once again into a murder investigation. This time it's to help her friend Ethan, whose best friend is dead by an apparent suicide. He though believes it was murder and Chloe agrees.

Where the first book was more focused on the steps needed to open a cannabis café in California, this one is more focused on the mystery. Aaron had his close friends and his enemies. He, though, wasn't one of those despicable people that are so often the murder victims in cozies. Instead, he was flawed but making amends.

Figuring out the murderer's identity before Chloe is possible. There are enough details and clues left for the attentive reader. This particular mystery had a similar feel to Bread Over Troubled Water by Winnie Archer (2023).
