Review tour: The Devil Drinks Coffee by Destiny Ford + Giveaway

Synopsis

A cow suicide, a revolving door rescue, and the birth of a bright purple pig are starting to make Kate Saxee wonder if taking a job in her small hometown of Branson Falls, Utah, was such a great idea. As The Branson Tribune editor, Kate covers local news, which, more often than not, involves her accident-prone mom. Nothing truly newsworthy has ever happened in the quiet town until local teen Chelsea Bradford turns up dead in a Branson Falls lake.

The police rule Chelsea’s death an accident, but Kate suspects there’s more to the story—and she’s not the only one. Two of Branson’s most eligible bachelors are determined to help her solve the crime—among other things. But the small town social network is faster than Twitter, and gossip about Kate’s love-life is quickly branding her the Branson Falls hussy.

As Kate learns more about Chelsea, she discovers that plenty of people are trying to cover up the real story behind the girl’s death—including Chelsea’s parents. Now Kate has to juggle work, men, her mom’s most recent disaster involving a low-speed John Deere Combine chase on the freeway, and fend off the Mormons heaven-bent on saving her soul—all while solving Chelsea’s murder. Dealing with this is going to require a lot of coffee, chocolate frosted donuts, Neil Diamond's greatest hits, and a slew of words not on the town approved imitation swear list.

Opinion
A few weeks ago I mentioned on my blog that I didn’t like mystery/detective books, but somehow the synopsis got my attention. And I’m glad I did read it. Kate comes back to her small birth town after being away  for a couple of years. So of course she’s the center of town gossip, where nothing ever happens except for the accidents off Kate’s mom. So when a young girl turns up dead Kate is ready to uncover the mystery around her dead for the town paper. Throw two hot bachelors in it and you got an excellent book. So who will she choose Hawke or Drake, or will she choose to stay alone.  Kate was a fun character to follow and I loved how she processed all the clues throughout the story. From the first page I liked Kate, she was full of humor and I loved to see the story through her eyes.

A funny read that I enjoyed reading.
