I love a good cozy mystery and the latest one I have read was delightful. It is part of the "Cozy Capers Book Group Mystery" and was written by Maddie Day. The author has a wonderful way of bringing the characters to life on the pages of the book. This book was book one of the series and in it we are introduced to Mackenzie Almelda (Mac to her friends). Mac had spent time after college traveling the world and has decided to come back to her home town, a small village on Cape Cod, to settle in and make a life for herself. She opens a bicycle repair and rental shop, which is popular with all the tourists that visit the area. In this first book we meet some of the other shop owners who are also members of her cozy mystery book club.
Book Summary
In this charming town on Cape Cod, Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida stumbles upon a dead body while walking home from a book club meeting in the dense fog. The victim is a local character, Jake who has been stabbed and the police investigation begins.
Despite warning from the police to stay out of it, Mac and her book club friends decide that the police need help determining the suspect and they start snooping around for clues. As Mac digs deeper she fears that her brother Derrick will become a suspect. She does more snooping and one evening comes home to a note in her door threatning her to stay out of it.
With the help of her quirky friends and loved ones, Mac navigates the web of complex relationships and secrets in the small town to uncover the truth behind Jake's murder.
