Grounds for Murder

Plenty of coffee for coffee lovers, even if the MC is a bit snobby about it. She and I wouldn’t get along simply because I don’t like coffee and that’s probably enough for her to dislike me.
Also maybe it’s just me forgetting how young you are at 30 but the MC feels pretty juvenile. And the love interest is hot… what are his other qualities? The love part was dull and I rolled my eyes plenty of times. Could have used the MCs father as an obstacles as he smokes marijuana, make some kind of issue of them to overcome? Too smooth sailing for me. (A little icky as the MC was written so juvenile and the love interest is at least 10 years older. Is he into that?)
Didn’t hate it but just another meh read for me, won’t continue the series.
SPOILER: I don’t know why the police was so adamant that it was suicide, sure there was mention that it could be an accident but why so focused on suicide? Back it up with something. Can’t go around saying that someone killed themselves, so rude to the family.
This was fun and funny! Just when I thought I wasn't going to find a cozy series I wanted to continue, I picked this one up. Just in time!
I love this island and this café! Lana's dad is fun and caring. Her backstory is hard, but can still help her out today. I like hearing how she looks at the world as a journalist. I just loved these characters. It was exactly the cozy that I needed.
I loved this!! Would give it 4.5 stars if possible. I'm not super into the Florida vibe (I like my beaches cold & rocky haha) and I prefer tea over coffee, so I wasn't really sure I'd get into this book. I was pleasantly surprised :) It's a perfect vacation cozy with fun characters and a great romance. I also 100% related to the main character's heartache over losing her previous job and starting over.
The main reason I didn't go for 5 stars was because [nonspecific spoiler alert!] there's one particular clue that, to me, was obvious enough that I got pulled out of the story for a moment. (Maybe because I am a DIYer and was paying attention to that kind of detail?) That's not a huge deal though; overall I would definitely recommend this book and I'll be reading the sequels for sure!
