When a local bluegrass musician disappears and a jug of her shop’s corn liquor is implicated, moonshiner Hattie Hayes must stop further trouble from brewing in this delightful cozy mystery series.

It’s August in Chattanooga, Tennessee and moonshiner Hattie Hayes has collaborated with a nearby vineyard to serve her moonshine at a Wine and 'Shine event. Not only is this an opportunity for Hattie to gain more moonshine fans, but she’s also excited to hear the Bootlegging Brothers, a popular bluegrass band. But not every attendee is looking for harmony. When one of the brothers disappears and is presumed dead, Hattie realizes her grace note gathering has suddenly turned more sour than her mash.

Unearthing what happened to the missing musician is more difficult than Hattie first expected. Hattie’s moonshine is tied to the crime and there’s no time to fiddle around—she has to step up to solve the case. Luckily, Hattie’s cool head and quick mind help her understand that when investigating a musical crime, always stay sharp.

This has been the third, and last available, of a cozy mystery series. I have no idea why the name cozy but this one is all aces: humor (in all shapes and sizes from the 98 yr old grandfather who is the Don Juan of the retirement home, to the 17 lb. kitty who can destroy a couch in one setting). romance (the old fashioned type , no hot attacks in the bedroom, or ugly language describing every move), action( in spite of plenty of warnings to stay safe, the heroine ALWAYS finds at least one way to be a bad guys target) and a roomful of very colorful relatives and friends. Did we mention the 17 lb. cat and a police horse with the patience of Job? It’s nothing real deep but it’s not shoddy journalism either. It’s the book that that appeals to our sense of family, neighborhood, and community. Though not my usual fare in audio books, I HIGHLY recommend.

ps. The second narrator was ordained to read this series. Hope the powers that be realize this!

I can’t believe I’m hooked on a cozy series!

Two hours into the book and nothing has happened. I can’t even listen to it as background noise.

Boring
