Unbridled Spirits

A Small Batch Mystery, Book 3

De: Michelle Bennington

Narrado por: Courtney Patterson

Rook Campbell yearns for a family and stability. With her recent divorce, her dad sitting behind bars for her mom's murder, and her grandma dying of cancer, she can hardly remember what a whole family feels like anymore.

However, new details about her mom's case have emerged, giving Rook a reason to hope. She might finally discover who really killed her mom and win her dad's freedom.

But a murder at a bourbon release party threatens to derail the investigation. Eerie parallels between both crimes throw Rook into the crosshairs, and she wonders if she's surrounded by killers.

In her attempts to uncover the truth, Rook places more than one relationship—and all her dreams—in peril. She can't give up, even if it costs her everything.

It Leaves Me Wanting More (in a good way)

In just 3 books, I have become invested in these characters, their lives, their losses, their struggles, and their victories. I do not want to say goodbye, and I sincerely hope that Michelle Bennington will consider continuing the story. Whether or not that happens, this book knits together all of those loose threads evident (or hinted at) in the first 2 books and does so through a new mystery that will keep readers entertained.

If you are looking for a contemporary cozy-ish mystery set in Kentucky bourbon country with a nosey protagonist who can be both likeable and frustrating, a spunky grandmother, some Southern humor, a love triangle, and plenty of mysteries, I recommend this series. There is a depth to these books that is not often found in short cozies. I do wish there were more books, but it's a satisfying set and makes the love triangle more palatable.
