An all-new Popcorn Shop Mystery bursts on the scene, featuring gourmet popcorn entrepreneur Rebecca Anderson and her poodle Sprocket. Opening a gourmet popcorn shop was never on Rebecca Anderson's bucket list. But after a failed marriage to a celebrity chef, she's ready for her life to open up and expand. She has returned to her hometown of Grand Lake, Ohio, with her popcorn-loving poodle Sprocket to start a new business--naturally called POPS. As a delicious bonus, Cordelia "Coco" Bittles, a close family friend who has always been like a grandmother to Rebecca, owns the chocolate shop next door, and the two are thinking of combining their businesses. But when Coco's niece, Alice, discovers her on the floor of her chocolate shop, those dreams go up in smoke. The local sheriff thinks Coco was the victim of a robbery gone wrong, but Rebecca isn't so sure. As suspects start popping up all over, Rebecca is determined to turn up the heat and bring the killer to justice in a jiffy! INCLUDES POPCORN RELATED RECIPES!

Since completing my courses I‘ve had a lot of leisure reading to catch up on. I‘d abandoned my books, especially cozies. I‘m getting back into them and started with this one. There‘s something about the main character that I don‘t always like, but she sorts that out eventually. Otherwise, I quite liked this one, and it‘s quirky characters. #ILoveCozies

TEArificbooks The books get better in this series. I love the idea of her popcorn shop. 3y

Ho-hum Thursday made so much better by being #cozyswap day! Thank you so much for my package, Annie! It's so perfectly autumnal! Lots of yumminess and the books all look great. Thanks to @Marmie7 for sending and to @ferskner @Avanders and @Chrissyreadit for organizing.

Avanders Ooh 😍😍🎃🧡❤️💛🎃 And I‘ll have to check out that door knocker book! 😁 4y

Book 7 #cozyinthesun @Librarybelle @ferskner I read book 2 of this series last year and liked it but thought I should have read them in order. I was right. This one made me laugh a few times and developed some characters better. My son staged the photo, he enjoys helping me with my Litsy photos. The main character has a gourmet popcorn shop and is dabbling with chocolate popcorn recipes.

LiteraryinPA Compliments to the photographer! 4y
Librarybelle Cool photo! 4y
SamanthaMarie Your son did a great job :) a new series to add to my TBR :) 4y

Mehso-so

Just sort of meh for me. I didn't care for any of the characters minus the dog. The interplay in relationships felt juvenile at times, and the killer waS obvious from the first 10 pages. I liked the atmosphere of the shops and think I may try some of the recipes. Another hour in for #24b42019 .

Logged 1 hr 21mins last night for #24b4monday but it didn't post. I probably won't make it but I love participating. I definitely need these days away up north with just the hubs and the pups.

BeansPage Remember we all make our own goals sweetheart. So if you don't make it to 24 but you make it to 8 instead for example, then that's amazing!!!! Remember to set your own pace and just have fun 😃📖📚 6y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid Couldn‘t agree more. Best of luck with whatever total you get to. 6y

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I've been introduced to a lot of cozy murder mysteries lately and this I'd one of my favorites. I really liked the main character and the storyline overall was enjoyable. An easy read you can fly through while sitting in front of a fire while its snowing outside.

Richryan52 Are you a Holmes fan? 6y
Callemarie @Richryan52 as in sherlock? 6y
Richryan52 That would be the Holmes I have in mind 6y
Callemarie @Richryan52 its funny because I've actually never read any of the sherlock Holmes stories. Love any and all movies/TV shows that depict him so I'm sure I would love them but no I've never read then 6y

This is my view for my birthday today and I'm utterly content with it. When I told Ryan I was taking my birthday off he asked me what I was going to do and literally the only thing i could think of was just to sit in this spot, read, and drink hot cocoa all day (at one point I thought maybe I'd bake all day just for the hell of it but then realized I'd have to go to the store and that was t happening haha). Here is to year 31. Cheers!

Suet624 So lovely. Happy Birthday!🎉 6y

I knew I could find a cozy mystery based on my favorite reading snack. I love to pop my own popcorn on the stove with olive oil, so flavorful and tasty!

I know I say this a lot but I love a good themed mystery book and this one definitely did not disappoint! Such a fun read with plenty of red herrings and twists and turns! Will for sure be reading the next book in this new series!
