Hello my cozy friends,
I finally sat down and read the third installment in the "All Day Breakfast Cafe Mystery Series" by Lena Gregory.
Publication Date: November 6, 2018
Lyrical Underground
Paperback 206 pages
Genre - Cozy Mystery
Genre - Cozy Mystery
When an ice cream vendor discovers a frozen stiff, Florida diner owner Gia Morelli has to serve up some just desserts . . .
Gia has become good friends with Trevor, a fun, flirtatious bachelor who owns the ice cream parlor down the street from her popular All-Day Breakfast Café. Trevor has the scoop on all sorts of local attractions and activities. But when he bursts into her diner, trembling and paler than a pint of French Vanilla, she can tell something's very wrong. Trevor points her toward his shop then passes out cold. When Gia runs down to his shop, she discovers a chilling sight—a dead body in the open freezer. But the ice cream man's troubles are just beginning. The police suspect him of this murder a la mode, especially when details of his questionable past surface. Gia believes in her friend and is determined to clear his name and find the real cold-blooded killer before someone else gets put on ice . . .
Politics can be murder, at least that is how it seems to Gia. When a local mayoral candidate is murdered and left in the freezer of Trevor's ice cream shop, he becomes suspect number one. Nothing is going to keep Gia out of the murder investigation now that it seems to affect not one but two of her close friends.
Each book in this series seems better than the last for me at least, The story pulled me in straight away and held my attention till the very end. There were plenty of twists and turns, and enough intrigue to keep you reading throughout and per usual with this series I read in one sitting.
Gia is a determined, and loyal protagonist that you can't help but love and now you also want to route for the rest of her friends. We also got a bit more background information about Trevor and Harley's pasts and I was happy we saw more of Sybil and her dog, Caesar in this story.
I will be reading this series as long as there are new books. While it can be read as a stand alone, the reader will get more out of "A Cold Brew Killing" if the previous books have been read.

| My Rating |
Lena lives in a small town on the south shore of eastern Long Island with her husband and three children. When she was growing up, she spent many lazy afternoons on the beach, in the yard, anywhere she could find to curl up with a good book. She loves reading as much now as she did then, but she now enjoys the added pleasure of creating her own stories.
