Battered and Buried by Lena Gregory

Hello my cozy friends,

Today I am reviewing "Battered and Buried" the 7th instalment in the "All Day Breakfast Cafe" Mystery series by Lena Gregory.   I love this series!

The best-laid plans may go awry, but the best-laid clues could frame a man for murder . . .

Never one to let a day off work go to waste, café owner Gia Morelli and a friend head out for a blissful kayaking trip through the local national forest. But the peacefulness of the day is soon shattered when they come across Cole, her head cook, standing over a dead body. Worse still, the victim was a lifelong enemy of Cole’s, and clues found on the body point to the cook as the culprit. When the police take Cole in and subject him to an intense grilling, Gia vows to do everything she can to prove his innocence.

As even more incriminating evidence surfaces—including when the murder weapon itself is found hidden at the café—Gia knows she’s up against someone brutal enough to kill and devious enough to frame Cole for the deed. With the police ready to make an official arrest and wrap up what they consider an open-and-shut case, Gia turns for help to an old friend who’s not above breaking the law himself. Because if she can’t find the killer, Cole may go from serving up hot dishes to serving a life sentence . . .

Includes recipes from the All-Day Breakfast Café!

Each book seems better than the last, I enjoy the relationship between Gia, Savannah and the cafe staff they are almost like a family.  It’s great to see how everyone cares for each other and pulls together to to make sure everyone is okay.   

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.  I can’t wait for the next instalment to arrive, hopefully it won’t be a year away… did I mention how much I love this series.

I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Kensington Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
