Murder Simply Brewed combines two of my favorite things: mysteries and coffee. Anyone who knows me knows that I like a good strong cup of Joe and I like to be drinking that good cup of Joe while reading a great book. Oh and I need to have a donut on hand too because mystery books usually make a person bite their nails as they try to figure out what is going on, right? I chomp down on a yummy pasty instead and save my nails. Guilt free because I can say Vannetta Chapman made me eat them all. I was a nervous wreck for the characters and turned to the dozen glazed delights to calm my nerves. Thanks a lot Mrs. Chapman!
A death at the Amish Artisan Village sets in motion a string of events leading to the eventual discovery that the death wasn’t so “simple”. It was actually a murder. (Cue the dramatic music) Now who would want to “off” little old Ethan Gray, who runs a coffee shop? Admittedly, he is a grumpy old man but that is no reason for someone to murder him especially in a quiet town like Middlebury. Amber Wright is the manager of the Village and she vows to get to the bottom of Ethan’s untimely demise-with or without the police. That’s when things start to get dicey…real dicey….
Vannetta has spun quite the story with her latest mystery. The characters were genuine, which of course is one of the reasons I always enjoy her books. Her characters are always well developed with just the right amount of detail to make you care enough to stick around till the end.I have to add that there is a part in this book that made me jump and gave me the willies! Stop back and leave me a comment after you read it and let me know if you the same reaction. I am curious to find out if anyone else got jumpy like I did. Trust me, you will know what part I am talking about once you start reading 🙂
