One of my favorite cozy mystery series, "Tourist Trap", by Lynn Cahoon has released book #16, "Olive You to Death”. I am always excited to read more about Jill Gardner and the gang at Coffee, Books, & More. Hold on to your hat, this mystery takes off a a fast-pace and remains there.
Wedding bells are ringing, but not for Jill and Greg--at least, not quite yet. Josh makes a surprise announcement. and so does Aunt Jackie. Jill is tasked with finding a new wedding venue--in the meantime there is a missing person, a murder, and a possible treasure hunt. I found the various threads highly entertaining!
#NetGalley and #Kensington were kind enough to allow me an ARC to read and review. Thanks also to #LynnCahoon. #OliveYoutoDeath #NetGalley
Don't forget! Come

I have been listening to these books religiously every single time the new one comes out and all I have to say is WHY THE HELL DID THEY CHANGE THE NARRATOR!!!
Susan Boyce was the voice of Jill Gardner and they had to change it out for someone new…. Not a fan.
The storyline was good. It’s your perfect amateur sleuth storyline set in a cozy setting. I also just love Jill and Greg’s relationship and how well they work together.

"Olive You to Death” the 16th instalment in the "Tourist Trap” Mystery series by Lynn Cahoon. This is one of my favourite cozy mystery series!
In the coastal town of South Cove, June is tourist season—and wedding season. Unfortunately, Jill Gardner’s own wedding has been delayed. But that just gives her more time to search for a missing bride—and a killer . . .
As always I love visiting South Cove, California and Coffee, Books & More. I love the main set of characters Jill, Amy, Aunt Jackie, Greg, Toby, Deek, and Evie. We get to see a softer side to the Antiques dealer Josh Thomas which is nice and will Jill get her MBA as well as find a new wedding venue…
As for the mystery I found it to be well plotted and it moved along at a steady pace. There were only a few suspects for the murder but you still find yourself second guessing on who the murderer can be. Overall I found this to be a great story.
I can’t wait for the next instalment to come out.
I highly recommend this series to all my cozy friends.
I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Kensington Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you Netgalley and Lynn Cahoon for allowing me to read and review this Arc of the newest adventures with Jill Gardner. I love this series and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book every time.
Amazing things are happening in South Cove. Jil is finally finishing her MBA, she's planning a wedding with her wonderful fiance, a bachelorette party with the girls, her working neighbor Josh has finally found "the one" who can put up with him, and the coffee shop is thriving.
Only problem is, Mandy, Josh's fiance goes missing after Josh discovers a very old journal about a lost treasure. He loops in a professor that Jill knew at her college, who thinks this could be legit. After bringing in his old TAs to help, the professor is tragically murdered in his office. It's up to Jill and Josh (and Greg!) to find Mandy and the murderer, all while finishing up her last paper and learning how to run the shop alone now that Aunt Jackie wants to retire and see the world with her new husband, Harrold.
Loved every second of the book and I can't wait for the next one!
