Live and Let Grind

The biggest thing I got out of this was that I really want to go on a pirate themed tourist cruise!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Cute cover on this one!

“Live and Let Grind”

It was so nice to visit Devil's Beach again. I always enjoy hearing what fancy new coffee that Perkatory is serving. The Orange Blossom in this one is creative and fun to read about.
The mystery had me guessing almost the whole time! Even with some of the later clues, I still couldn't be sure. And as it turns out the motive was more complicated than it seemed.
The best part of this book was the character development. Several of the characters let their worst characteristics out to the point of annoying me. However, there were people around them to call them on it. Then there was a conversation that they had and they realized they were being ridiculous. Then they apologized and tried to do better. I really appreciated that their ridiculousness was not drawn out.
Noah and Lana's relationship is developing nicely as well. I think they might be my favorite cozy mystery couple. And in this one we get to see a little bit of Erica and Joey's relationship as well.
Good mystery, good romance, and good character development.
Thank you to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books.

Read it with some coffee and enjoy.
