This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. Set in the small village of Leavenworth, Washington, the series is centered around Sloan Krause, a beer brewer. Sloan previously worked at the largest brewery in the village, with her (soon to be ex) husband and the family who took her in as one of their own. Now, finding her own path, Sloan helps run Nitro, a small brewery specializing in unique craft beers.
Sloan also has a tendency to find herself involved in mysteries, and in this story, she is asked by a murder suspect to help prove her innocence. A very unpopular politician has been murdered, and Sloan must wade through the plethora of suspects. By her side, she has her business partner and close friend Garrett, their coworker Kat, and Sloan's son Alex. During this, Sloan, who was a foster child, has also gotten back in touch with her case worker, and is finding out some disturbing information about her past.
I just really love this series. The characters and relationships are all so well-written. I have a special place in my heart for Sloan, a strong and smart businesswoman finding her way after the breakdown of her marriage. I also love Garrett, who is a self-proclaimed beer nerd and a deeply loyal friend. Sloan and Garrett's friendship is my favorite relationship in the books, and I would not be opposed to the possibility of romance that is being hinted at.
The setting really comes alive, and the mysteries always have great twists and turns, and suspenseful surprising endings. I highly recommend this series!
