Synopsis

In the new Tourist Trap mystery from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, a new art studio has opened in the coastal California town of South Cove—but it's about to turn into a crime scene . . .

As the owner of Coffee, Books, and More, Jill Gardner likes to support other Main Street businesses, so she attends a paint-and-sip event where, sadly, her brushstrokes look more like blobs. It's still fun, though—aside from some disruption by a couple doing more sipping than painting. Jill's police-detective boyfriend is on alert, but a designated driver volunteers to take the drunken pair back to their bed and breakfast, and everything seems resolved. Until the wife's body turns up the next morning back in the studio.

The victim, Nan, is from out of town, so it's hard to imagine who'd have a motive aside from her spouse. Now, in between puzzling over her fortuneteller neighbor's strange behavior, preparing for her best friend's wedding, and pouring cups of java at the bookstore, Jill must uncover the secrets of Nan's life and find out who wanted her out of the picture . . .

This twelfth addition to the Tourist Trap series is another fun read by Lynn Cahoon. I enjoyed traveling back to South Cove on the California coast to visit with Jill Gardner, her hunky guy, Detective Greg King, and the Coffee, Books, and More crew and friends.

Goodreads review by Mallory on June 11, 2021

This was a fun cozy mystery and a nice distraction. This was a new series to me, but cozy mysteries are the one thing I find I can read out of order and it didn’t hinder my enjoyment at all. I loved the cafe/bookshop as a setting and the characters were unique and very interesting. The mystery was a......more

Goodreads review by Micky on February 27, 2021

Several new characters pop up in this book with new employees and new businesses open, but not everyone is fitting in as well as they had hoped especially when it looks like someone has killed a tourist. Jill and Greg are back on the investigation hunt in a hurry when it looks like a local is on the......more
