With the Moonstone Beach Festival coming up, Jill Gardner, owner of Coffee, Books and More, is touching base with her fellow small business owners to make it as successful as possible. It's frustrating when Darla, the owner of South Cove Winery, is late to a meeting, but they manage to get the discussion rolling about the kite flying event and the big Battle of the Bands, which Darla’s musician boyfriend is hoping will be his big break. And Jill, of course, will be there with her food truck, hoping for a financial boost. When one of the musicians is murdered, Jill and her detective fiancé will have to find out who ruined the festival atmosphere with murder.
I was very excited to read this book because it was from one of my favorites in all cozy mysteries. But the ending left me unsatisfied. Even though the characters and the setting were fun to read about, the chapters seemed way too long, and the pacing was off a bit plus there was no big ending. Usually, the main character would have a confrontation with the killer, but that didn't happen here. The killer was caught " off stage" and it was a quick ending. Thanks to Kensington books and NetGalley for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
