Death on tap
Ratings4
Average rating3.8
A fun cozy, but pretty predictable in terms of who the murderer was. I enjoyed the Leavenworth, WA setting though and all the beer stuff was entertaining!
Cozy mystery that was pretty predictable. But I enjoyed the characters and I know a little more about hops and brewing than I did before. Adding book 2 to my tbr list.
Proving to myself, once again, that I do not like cozy mysteries, I just finished Death on Tap. In a small town that models itself on a German village, competing breweries busy themselves with creating the best beers. Enter our main character, in the middle of a divorce who can no longer work at the family brewery and goes, instead, to work for a new operation on the block.
One really had to suspend some disbelief to get through this. A dead body in a tank, but the brewery is able to open that night anyway? A cheese tray and some soup feeds hundreds of people at a grand opening. Sigh. Okay, belief suspended.
For no reason I truly understand the main character decides to start investigating the murder (sort of). By going to character after character they kind of info dump. All of this while she's fending off the romantic gestures of her soon-to-be ex and her new boss. Sigh.
I understand this is the formula for this style of read. Again, it's me not them. I just can't.
I did learn why some breweries have that weird band-aid taste in their beers, so.... score! Worth a rating star alone!
