CATCHING A KILLER WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT.
"A winning combination."–New York Times Book Review
It’s springtime in Cedar River, Texas. The annual Bluebonnet Festival is brewing and the whole town is in harmony. Juni Jessup and her sisters Tansy and Maggie thought opening Sip & Spin Records was going to be their biggest hurdle, but the Frappuccino hits the fan when the mayor drops dead—poisoned by their delicious coffee.
Since Tansy was the one to brew the coffee, and Juni was the unfortunate citizen who stumbled upon the mayor’s body, the sisters find themselves in hot water. Family is everything to the Jessups, so with Tansy under suspicion, the sisters spring into action.
Between the town festivities, a good old-fashioned treasure hunt, and an accidental cow in the mix, Juni will have to pull out all the stops to find the mayor’s killer.

Small town mystery and romance! I love this series!
Music, mayhem and loads of drama await us in “A Fatal Groove”, the second in the Record Shop series by Olivia Blacke. Juni, and her sisters Tansy and Maggie (who are all named after flowers), are thrust into a police investigation when the mayor was found dead holding a coffee cup from their shop, Sip & Spin Records. Juni, who is a fledgling detective, was determined to get to the bottom of the latest murder to hit her small town of Cedar River. It certainly helps when the lead detective on the case, Beau, is vying to win back Juni’s heart and she uses that in an attempt to get information out of him. Of course, he sees right through her deviousness, but he will do anything in the name of love.
Juni and her sisters compiled a long list of suspects, which included their mother’s new boyfriend, and they methodically investigated all of them. If the murder wasn’t enough to deal with, there was also a renewed interest in an unsolved bank robbery from 1956 where the money was never found. Strangers were infiltrating Cedar River with their metal detectors looking for the money which just added to the chaos and speculation. Was the mayor’s death somehow connected to the missing money and more importantly, who would benefit most from his death? Cedar River, Texas is a small town filled with quirky characters, beautiful and abundant bluebonnets (the state flower) and a peacefulness that we all need in our lives. I love Juni, Tansy and Maggie and I am confident that together, they will make their town safe once again!!
