Today I am reviewing "Home Fries and Alibis" the 8th instalment in the "All Day Breakfast Cafe" Mystery series by Lena Gregory. I love this series!
When a belligerent woman moves in across the street, café owner Gia Morelli has to call off the welcome wagon and call in the homicide squad . . .
When a nasty new neighbor moves into their peaceful community, Gia and everyone else in the neighborhood is ready to blow a fuse. The spiteful woman has quickly made a nuisance of herself, complaining to and about everyone there. Then she makes the grave mistake of falsely claiming Gia’s dog tore up her yard, and Gia goes ballistic, telling the woman to back off . . . or else. It was an impulsive move for Gia, but someone else decides an even more extreme approach is called for, and silences the woman—permanently.
Unnerved by the thought of a murderer living in her neighborhood, Gia begins digging into the victim’s life to figure out who would have wanted her dead. She soon discovers that the woman was not only malicious but was blackmailing people in the community. Even more surprising is that nearly everyone in the neighborhood has something to hide. Dead-set on rooting out the culprit, Gia has to determine who stood to lose the most if their secret was revealed, unaware that she’s perilously close to losing her own life . . .
"Home Fries and Alibis" is the 8th instalment in Lena Gregory's "All Day Breakfast Cafe" Mystery series, and it's a real treat. I love this series, and each book seems to get better than the last.
The relationships between Gia, Savannah, and the café staff are truly special. They're like a family, and their interactions are warm, caring, and sometimes humorous. It's great to see how they support each other through thick and thin.
The story is engaging, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. I was hooked from the start and couldn't put the book down. The hospital scene was particularly emotional, and I almost cried a few times.
The characters are well-developed, and the story is full of intrigue. I read this book in one sitting, and I'm already eagerly awaiting the next instalment hopefully I won’t have to wait another year.
I highly recommend "Home Fries and Alibis" to all my cozy lover friends. Lena Gregory has a way of crafting stories that are both entertaining and emotionally resonant.
I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Beyond the Page and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
