Synopsis

With its hipster-run Portland food truck pod and focus on real-world social issues like homelessness, gentrification, school affordability, and bicycle commuting, this third Ground Rules Mystery is a fresh, modern cozy featuring coffee barista Sage Caplin. She's ready to take a shot at a new side hustle—her boyfriend's gaming company—until a programmer's pranks get him burned . . .

To top off her coffee business, Sage is now helping out with her boyfriend Bax's gaming company. Conveniently for Sage, it's located next door to her Ground Rules Roastery. That makes it easy for her to pitch in with Bax's employee team-building event. The plan is to boost morale with a scavenger hunt. And it seems to be going well—until Robbie, a programmer known for being a prankster, turns up dead in Sage's roastery . . .

There are two suspects so far: Sage, who has no idea how the victim ended up in her space; and Bax, who was allegedly spotted arguing with Robbie the day before. But could it be a disgruntled employee? After all, Robbie's sense of humor was known to have rubbed some coworkers the wrong way. Now, it's up to Sage to find the culprit—before another life grinds to a halt.

It took me forever to finish this because I just didn’t care. I miss the rail yard and all the different trucks and her dad. I didn’t care for the new setting, the whole story petty much about Bax’s world etc. I really enjoyed the last book but this fizzled for me. 2.5⭐️......more
