Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Pretty good (especially as a freebie) cozy mystery set in upstate NY in a region with a lot of microbreweries. The romantic subplot between Hera (the main character, a young woman struggling to keep her brewery going) and Jake, the local policeman (who coincidentally is Hera's old flame from when they were both in law school!) was predictable and the weakest part of the book.

Money is always a problem for Hera Knightsbridge's microbrewery, but now drought makes water scarce for all the breweries in the Butternut Valley. Worse, Hera discovers a rival brewer murdered in his brew barn, making Hera the authorities' favorite suspect. To clear her name, her only choice is to join forces with an unlikely partner, the new assistant deputy sheriff, Jake Ryan, her former lover from law school days. There's unfinished business between these two, and it surfaces again and again as they pursue a killer who finally turns on the indefatigable Hera as the next victim. This is the first book in the Microbrewing Mystery Series. The second book is Poisoned Pairings which continues the Hera Knightsbridge story. This title is published by Lesley A. Diehl and is distributed worldwide by Untreed Reads. No library descriptions found. |
