I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
This cozy mystery series, centered around a female brewmaster, continues to be one of my absolute favorites. In this entry, said brewmaster Sloan and her business partner/friend/partner in crime Garrett are getting ready to open the bed part of their bed and beer and breakfast. But some unexpected arrivals means a combative combination of guests, an unfortunate circumstance that leads to murder.
Alexander's excellent descriptive writing style makes me want to visit this small village and try all the beers at Nitro-and also hang out with Sloan and Garrett, who have such a fun, lovely, supportive friendship (that may someday lead to something more). The mystery is an excellent one as well, with lots of twists and turns, secrets from the past, hidden connections, and suspense. My only complaint is the subplot about Sloan's past and the truth about her former in laws is starting to feel a little farfetched and like it doesn't really fit in with the tone of the series.
I've said it before, and I will say it again-if you are a cozy mystery fan, this is a series you should definitely check out. I would recommend starting from the first book in the series so you really get all the character development and backstory,
