Popcorn and Panic by Agatha Frost

Popcorn and Panic by Agatha Frost
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am totally behind in this series but I couldn't pass up reviewing this ARC. I think I am back on book #17 Vegetables & Vengence. This book is book #24. It says a lot that an author is still inspired to write on a series of characters and make it this far into a series. So inspiring! 

I've got to admit these stories never get old but I do miss Barker working with the police department . If you know me, you know how I love my detectives. Barker is a P.I. now and I am feeling a whole Remmington Steele vibe with this character. He is the face of the agency but Julia really solves the crimes. I'm kinda praying he goes back to police work. The detective in charge now is grating on my nerves.

In this story Julia is returning to work after a long absence only to find the city wants to close her cafe to put on a festival outside her business. Due to this festival featuring a popular singer, lots of fans are driven into town and cause quite a mess and unfortunately that singer is killed and Julia is on the case to solve the mess while trying not to freak out about her and Barker's financial situation.

This is definitely an involved book. I was kinda surprised one the suspects nearly threw Julia down the stairs while she was interviewing her. If you love a good cozy mystery, definitely check out this series. It is one of my favorites! This book doesn't disappoint and I am looking forward to a marathon catch up with books 17-20 which I have purchased as a set.

I received this as an ARC from the author in return for an honest review.
