Publisher's summary

A Cape Cod shop owner and her book club must find a crafty killer in this charming new series from the Agatha-nominated author of the Country Store Mystery series.

Summer is busy season for Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida's bicycle shop, nestled in the quaint, seaside hamlet of Westham, Massachusetts. She's expecting an influx of tourists at Mac's Bikes; instead she discovers the body of Jake Lacey. Mac can't imagine anyone stabbing the down-on-his-luck handyman. However, the authorities seem to think Mac is a strong suspect after she was spotted arguing with Jake just hours before his death. Mac knows she didn't do it, but she does recognize the weapon - her brother Derrick's fishing knife.

Mac's only experience with murder investigations is limited to the cozy mysteries she reads with her local book group, the Cozy Capers. So to clear her name-and maybe her brother's too - Mac will have to summon help from her Cozy Capers coinvestigators and a library's worth of detectives' tips and tricks. For a small town, Westham is teeming with possible killers, and this is one mystery where Mac is hoping for anything but a surprise ending.

Did not finish

Couldn't listen to the narrator. Read the story in a song song voice. Didn't get past the 2nd chapter. Probably would have been a great story.

Meh it’s ok

It was ok. It was kind of like if Hallmark channel writes about a murder. It wasn’t exactly thrilling but it wasn’t so bad I turned it off.

Voice was too soft

The story seemed to spool out very slowly, which could’ve been due to the soft cadence of the narrator. The character would have been better with a strong female voice. The story was okay, just very slow.

Confusing setting for the story

The main character and her family appear to be native Kiwi New Zealanders but the story is set on Cape Cod. The Kiwi honorifics add confusion, the story is lackluster and lacks suspense. The narrator did a nice job.

Wonderful Mystery

It’s a great story with mystery and always happening findings. The characters are well developed and introduced! The scenery depicted is a lovely town with an unforeseen crime!

It’s ok

The thing about this book that bothered me the most was honestly the narrator. Her delivery has such a strange cadence to it. It’s not natural at all. The only time it felt natural was when she would read the dialogue. And even then, as a native Cape Cod, her, there was none of that accent that belonged. The story ended up being really boring with an anti-climatic ending. Kind of disappointed.

Very good

The story was real good, and the person narrating was really good. It’s a sleuth story without a lot of romance, and just right.
