Murder in a Cup review

This is the second book in the Crystals & CuriosiTEAS Mysteries by Lauren Elliott who’s become another fave cozy author of mine. I really enjoyed the first book and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. The only thing I’d change is getting Shay and Liam together, lol, like now. But I trust this author to do what she knows is gonna work, so hopefully Gran’s wish might come true someday for those two. From the way this book ended (no worries, all main mysteries were taken care of) with its continuing thread and a new one introduced, I absolutely can’t wait for the next book! Oh and the introduction of Liam’s Gran to the series was just the best! I LOVE her character! You’ll see what I mean when you read it.

My Goodreads review:

Murder in a Cup by Lauren Elliott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh this was so good and had so many awesome twists and possibilities. I absolutely adore Gran’s character, what a great addition to an already stellar cast. I was so happy that Shay finally and someone who could explain things to her about her abilities and actually had memories of Shay’s family.

The author cleverly created a loathable character in Tassi’s father who was trying to get custody of her. I wanted to send that guy to the moon, one way lol. But all worked out well for the sweet teen. I’d partially figured out whodunit as clues started coming together and wow, that was one heck of a showdown! I loved how Shay’s dog Spirit rushed in and helped save the day too.

There was a fun, family type ending and a continuing thread was brought back in so I’m eager to see how that plays out. And a new business to thr then showed up…was this gonna cause Shay any harm? Guess we’ll just have to be patient and wait on the next book!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book provided by Kensington Cozies via NetGalley, and my opinions are my own.
