The Record Shop Mysteries
St. Martin’s Paperbacks

Little did Juni know that by accepting free hockey tickets in a private booth that she would be getting herself involved in another murder mystery. The tickets didn’t come with strings, just a sales pitch from over aged frat boy Zach Fjord of Fjord Capital. Zack Fjord and Savannah Goodwin of Fjord Capital contact make an offer of financial backing that would take control away from the sisters, and supposedly give them peace of mind and capital for growth. Peace of mind is a great thing to have, and the sisters have worked hard to get Sip & Spin Records up and going so when the rain storm gets worse, Tansy and Juni grab Daffy the cat and sandbag the doorways to protect their product. That’s when they see car lights followed by sounds of a car crash. It starts to get really mysterious when the sisters find a crashed car with no driver and a dead Zach Fjord in the passenger seat.
Juni can’t help herself, she just feels
that Savannah needs her help to find out what happened the night of the storm.
There are several suspects some business and some personal. Turns out that Zach
had a way with the ladies but not so much way with the finances. Not everyone
was happy with their partnership arrangements with Fjord Capital. Juni does the
usual poking into things when she isn’t making coffee and selling records. She
ruffles feathers and asks questions that made people uneasy. Juni is a fun
character to read, quick witted and with a good heart. So good that she has the
attention of two men and she doesn’t want to hurt either of them. I am not a
fan of the multiple suitors for the sleuth and am happy to say that Juniper
makes a decision. The story kept my attention and the light-heartedness kept me
chuckling. I look forward to the next trip to Cedar River, Texas and the Sip
& Spin Records shop.
