Vinyl Resting Place by Olivia Blacke
4.0

Sometimes you just need a cozy mystery and Olivia Blacke always delivers. Coffee, records, and murder? Yes please. I knew I would adore this book from the punny title alone, but I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. Juni as a heroine is absolutely adorable and I am team Teddy Garza ALL THE WAY. (Like seriously if you like Beau, wtf). I did predict the killer about halfway through, but the twists and turns were still really enjoyable. It had so many red herrings! But seeing a tightly knit family, a small business just starting out, and a teeny tiny Texas town is my cozy kryptonite. And there are SO many gems in this book, from Prankenstein to pecan waffles, I'm in love with Cedar River.
