Things are going
well for Juliette. Her romance with Ryder is heating up and the
coffee house, Java Jive, is doing well. Then Ryder is promoted to
Homicide. Juliette hates it that he will be hunting dangerous
killers. It becomes personal when her neighbor Chelsea, a college
student, goes missing and Ryder is assigned to the case.
Tensions become
higher when Kira, a Java Jive employee, goes missing during her
shift. Ryder is preoccupied with his case and definitely wants
Juliette to stay out of the latest disappearance, but Kira is an
employee and Juliette and Pete become involved with looking for her.
Of the three Java
Jive mysteries, this is my favorite so far. Pete and Juliette and
becoming closer. It seems like they belong together. The romance with
Ryder turns sour, but since Pete is there it isn’t such a blow to
Juliette.
The plot is one of
the best. It’s hard to unravel the events to find the murderer. The
author does a good job of giving just the right amount of information
to move your suspicions from one character to the next.
I love the coffee
house setting. You feel like you’re a part of the warm, family
atmosphere of Java Jive. If you like cozy mysteries, this is a good
one.
I received this book
from Alibi and Net Galley for this review.
