Murder Served Neat

⭐⭐⭐ – Great cover on this one!

Murder Served Neat by Michelle Hillen Klump is an entertaining cozy mystery novel that follows the story of Samantha Warren, a reporter-turned-mixologist who finds herself in the middle of another murder investigation. This time, her mother's best friend has been accused of murder, and Samantha must clear her name by helping to solve the case.

Although this book was better than its predecessor, and it also had a well-crafted mystery that kept me guessing until the end, it still suffered from being too long-winded and unevenly paced. That said, Samantha was more likable this time around, and I enjoyed reading about her mixology skills. The addition of recipes at the end of each chapter is always an additional bonus.

Overall, Murder Served Neat is an enjoyable cozy mystery with interesting characters and plenty of twists and turns that unfortunately suffers from uneven pacing and could use a good edit.
