Three Shots to the Wind by Sherry Harris

Hello my cozy friends, 

Today I am reviewing Three Shots to the Wind by Sherry Harris the 3rd instalment in the "Chloe Jackson, Sea Glass Saloon Mystery" series. What can I say other than I loved it even more than the first two books!   I read it in one day, couldn’t put it down.
Former Chicago librarian Chloe Jackson loving her new life as a bartender in Florida…until a surprise visit from her Windy City ex-fiancĂ© ends with him blown away in the Panhandle!

DEAD EXES TELL NO TALES

Saloon owner Chloe Jackson appears to have a secret admirer. She’s pouring drinks at the Sea Glass Saloon in Emerald Cove when an airplane flies by above the beach with a banner reading I LOVE YOU CHLOE JACKSON. She immediately rules out Rip Barnett. They are in the early stages of dating and no one has said the L word. Then a bouquet of lilacs—her favorite flower—is delivered to the bar, followed by an expensive bottle of her favorite sparkling wine. It couldn’t be…

Sure enough, her ex-fiancĂ© from Chicago has flown down to Florida for an accountants’ convention. But is he trying to mix business with pleasure and win her back? Unfortunately he’s not in a hotel conference room, he’s floating facedown in the lake next to her house, clutching a photo of Chloe. Who murders an accountant on a business trip—it just doesn’t add up. When Rip becomes the prime suspect, Chloe is determined to find the secret murderer. But if she isn’t careful, it may be closing time and lights out for her…
I found myself engrossed in the story and I love the setting of Emerald Cove, Florida panhandle.  The way the author described it really makes me want to live there or at least visit. I could picture myself sitting in Chloe’s screened in porch with a sweet tea and a good book or taking walks along the beach.

The protagonist Chloe is a very likeable and we are starting to see new layers to the main side characters especially Vivi.

The mystery had just enough suspects, red herrings, and twists and turns to keep you guessing till the end. I found it to be a fun fast read. I am looking forward to seeing what is next for Chloe and Vivi.

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends.
