Sage Caplin, a young woman running a hip coffee cart with her friend in Portland, Oregon, is back in Double Shot Death. But this time she has a travel cart and she has brought it and her hunky new boyfriend to a music festival outside of the city. While she is busy selling coffee to hungover concert-goers, she finds herself involved in another murder investigation. It's funny how often that happens in cozy mysteries, huh? Compared to the first book in this series, Fresh Brewed Murder, this title was just okay. I thought the plot was a bit slow and there wasn't much character growth for Sage. I wish that there had been more scenes between Sage and her new boyfriend, Bax, but this isn't a romance so I understand why they weren't the focus of the story. I am not sure if I will continue reading this series because I was a little bit bored with this title.
