Oh, it's a cozy mystery

Oh, you need a boyfriend like Bax who's friends with everyone. Especially at a music fest in Portland. Cause, you just never know when murder might be something you have to investigate in the woods while dishing up expresso and lattes in a remodeled horsetrailer.

 (A Ground Rules Mystery #2) [You don't have to read the first one in order to enjoy this one] If you love coffee, Portland, and of course, Music Festivals..it might be a fun summer read..indeed with Duncan's likable characters! Add a mystery and it's quite fun! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Sage Caplin is taking her Portland coffee cart on the road to a sustainable music festival, but murder is an unwanted special guest . . . At Campathon, an annual eco-friendly festival held on a farm outside of Portland, fans celebrate the Pacific Northwest’s music scene in quintessential PDX style—with gourmet food carts, reusable utensils . . . and lots of coffee. How else to get through three days of nonstop entertainment? Sage has scored a coveted place for her Ground Rules coffee cart thanks to her new-ish boyfriend, Bax, who’s friendly with Maya, one of the musicians performing. The festivities begin with a stream of customers, friends, and acquaintances stopping by for Ground Rules’ world-class blends, expertly brewed by Sage and her newest barista. But there are tensions between Maya and her former bandmates, who are on the cusp of making it big, and with Ian, the band’s manager. When Sage stumbles upon Ian’s dead body in the nearby woods—his hand still clutching one of her coffee mugs—it’s clear that someone’s grudge boiled over into murder. Can Sage work out who’s responsible before another innocent life fades out, and the curtain falls on Campathon, and maybe her own future, for good?
