About this ebook
A beer festival, a dead contestant, and a secret past bubbling to the surface—Cherry Brewster’s about to discover that brewing isn’t the only thing that can get heated. After a fire guts her beloved Moose Head brewery, Cherry Brewster is scrambling to rebuild and reclaim her spot in the craft beer world. So when a friend invites her to a prestigious beer festival in honor of her late husband, she reluctantly packs up her best brews and a few secrets she hoped were buried. But the festival takes a dark turn when a young contestant collapses during judging—right after sipping a sample. As whispers swirl and accusations froth, Cherry can’t ignore her gut: this wasn’t an accident. With a clueless inspector complicating the case and her own past threatening to be unmasked, Cherry must juggle suspicious judges, sabotage, and sparkling water with a sinister twist. Someone at the festival is hiding more than just a bad brew. Can Cherry unmask the killer before her reputation—or her life—goes flat? Perfect for fans of small-town cozies with a spirited sleuth, a dash of humor, and a pint of suspense.

There are just a few twists and turns in this story that keep you guessing until the end. Like the small town setting and the interesting characters. There are a few laughs and some unexpected events that happen. Like the cozy mystery and how the story keeps you trying to figure out what happened. Good read. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
