Brewed, Crude and Tattooed
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
A torrential spring snowstorm leaves Maggy and her friendly (and not so friendly) neighboring tenants stuck in the strip mall where her coffeehouse, Uncommon Grounds, leases space in Brookhills, Wisconsin. Shut up in her coffeehouse with little light and no heat, Maggy looks for help from her neighbors in the plaza...but while crossing the snow-filled parking lot, Maggy nearly trips over the mall's landlord, Way Benson, who has a hatchet in his back and looks very, very dead. Since Way's plan was to evict all the tenants and sell the space to a superstore chain, the list of enemies and suspects is hardly meager. Figuring out who had the means to do it...that was going to be the tricky part. But when Way's ex-wife is also killed, the clear and obvious motive goes out the window. Then when there's another death, Maggy is scrambling to pick up the pace and solve the murder...before she's next...

- bioText: Sandra Balzo turned to mystery writing after twenty years in corporate public relations, event management and publicity. Triple Shot, her seventh Maggy Thorsen coffeehouse mystery, was just released, and Sandy's second series, Main Street Mysteries, debuted in April with Running on Empty. The books, set in the popular vacation destination of North Carolina's High Country, will alternate with the Maggy Thorsen mysteries. Heaven's Fire, about a fireworks show gone badly wrong, was released directly to Kindle with excellent reviews. Balzo's novels have been nominated for both the Anthony and Macavity awards and received starred reviews from Kirkus and Booklist. In addition to her books about coffee-maven Maggy Thorsen and displaced journalist AnnaLise Griggs, Balzo writes short stories, two of which have been published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, winning the Macavity, Derringer and Robert L. Fish awards. Those psychological thrillers, along with a third original story, are available on Kindle in The Grass is Always Greener and Other Stories.Balzo has handled publicity for three Bouchercons (World Mystery Conventions), as well as the International Association of Crime Writers, and has served a national board member of Mystery Writers of America. A native of southeastern Wisconsin, she currently splits her time between Florida and the High Country of North Carolina. And roots for the Green Bay Packers.www.sandybalzo.com

A torrential spring snowstorm leaves Maggy and her friendly (and not so friendly) neighboring tenants stuck in the strip mall where her coffeehouse, Uncommon Grounds, leases space in Brookhills, Wisconsin. Shut up in her coffeehouse with little light and no heat, Maggy looks for help from her neighbors in the plaza...but while crossing the snow-filled parking lot, Maggy nearly trips over the mall's landlord, Way Benson, who has a hatchet in his back and looks very, very dead. Since Way's plan was to evict all the tenants and sell the space to a superstore chain, the list of enemies and suspects is hardly meager. Figuring out who had the means to do it...that was going to be the tricky part. But when Way's ex-wife is also killed, the clear and obvious motive goes out the window. Then when there's another death, Maggy is scrambling to pick up the pace and solve the murder...before she's next...

Near the start of Balzo's lively fourth Maggy Thorsen mystery (after 2008's Bean There, Done That
), a sudden spring “thundersnow†traps Maggy and friends in Benson Plaza, the Brookhills, Wis., strip mall where Maggy rents space for her coffee shop, Uncommon Grounds. Cut off from all communication, with minimum light and no heat in her store, Maggy decides to seek help elsewhere in the plaza. In the snow she stumbles on the mall's landlord, Way Benson, with a hatchet or cleaver buried in his back. Since Way was threatening to evict Maggy and other Benson Plaza proprietors in order to sell the mall to a superstore chain, Benson had no lack of enemies. Murder suspects include the mall's barber, an elderly pharmacist, the lone worker at the Bible Store and the Vietnamese father and daughter with a food shop. Credible characters and a well-constructed plot compensate for Maggy's sometimes tedious deductive methods.

A freak May snowstorm provides the perfect cover for murder in a suburban strip mall.
The merchants of Benson Plaza in tony Brookhills, Wis., have enough to worry about already. Their landlord, Way Benson, with the backing of his ex-wife Aurora and his new squeeze Naomi Verdeaux, has pretty much decided to evict them one by one to make room for natural-foods giant Gross National Produce. Luc Romano and his daughter Tien have already put a pickle beside the last sandwich An's Foods will ever serve; fishmonger Jacque Oui has packed up his scaling knives; and Rudy Fischer is ready to take down his barber pole. Coffee-shop owner Maggy Thorsen's hope that Uncommon Grounds will somehow be left to coexist with the health-food megastore dims as she sees the Bible Store shuttered, putting 80-something Sophie Daystrom out of work. Maggie is temporarily distracted from her real-estate woes when a sudden drop in temperature produces a rare snowstorm. But the initial charm quickly turns to alarm as the drifts pile up and Benson Plaza's tenants are trapped in their shops. When the electricity fails and they look for owner Way to plow them out, they find his body in the parking lot, stabbed in the back with a cleaver. Armed with flashlights from Goddard's Pharmacy, Maggy (Bean There, Done That, 2008) leads her mighty band of retailers on a quest to capture the killer.
Balzo's foray into English country-house territory doesn't quite translate to the Midwest.(COPYRIGHT (2009) KIRKUS REVIEWS/NIELSEN BUSINESS MEDIA, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.)

When a major spring snowstorm hits Brookhills, WI, Maggy is stranded at the mall that houses her coffee shop. Of course there is a murder and lots of poking around into why the mall is going to be closed. VERDICT Nice fare for cozy readers.Copyright 2009 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
