My Review and Rating:
Barista Bump-Off by Tonya KappesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Purse snatchers and murder are the crimes of the day in the latest Killer Coffee Mystery by Tonya Kappes. Roxy Bloom dives right into the investigation and finds secrets, jealousy, and several suspects. Now she just must figure out who did it and why.
Barista Bump-Off pulls you in and keeps you engaged. The mystery of the thefts and eventual murder was well-written and kept me on my toes. Are the thefts and the death related? If not, now we have to look for two separate suspects. I found myself guessing at who the thief could be, who the murder could be, and who might have been capable for both.
I was not at all clued into who the thief and murderer were until the reveal. The person, or persons, wasn’t even on my radar. Every time I thought the suspect, or suspects, was this person or that person, something would happen, and I’d have to try and figure it out again. I love that in a mystery - fill the book full of twists and turns, red herrings, and deliberate misdirects so I have a hard time figuring everything out.
I enjoyed all the characters and the amount of humor added to the mix. The world building had me feeling like I was right in the middle of Honey Springs. I was able to visualize the town, the activities, the people, and feel the emotions.
