ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: A Cuppa Trouble
Series: The CafFUNated Mysteries #2
Author: Angela Ruth Strong
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: July 1, 2019
Genre: Inspirational Cozy Mystery
Can a couple of baristas chase down a car thief without spilling a drop of their favorite drinks?
Plans for a Valentine’s Day grand opening of a small town coffee shop go awry when the first customer is killed. Evidence points toward the victim being mixed up in a car theft ring, but shop owners Tandy and Marissa have reason to believe he was framed.
An assortment of suspects–from a pink-haired heir to Tandy’s charming ex–all seem to know a little too much about grand theft auto.
Without approval from either their boyfriends or the gum-chewing FBI agent in charge, the shop owners go on stakeouts, plan stings, and pursue justice in a high-speed car chase. If they don’t find the killer soon, it might be more than their love lives in trouble.

My rating: 4 stars!
‘The sheriff always seemed to aim at his own foot when he fired off his mouth.’
Angela Ruth Strong continues her super fun ‘The CafFUNated Mystery series with this absolutely delightful offering. Featuring Tandy and Marissa, one a coffee drinker, the other a tea drinker, who open up a part coffee/part tea shop, this one is just so much fun all the way to the very end.
People just seem to fall dead right near Tandy and Marissa. Then they think they are the best ones to solve the case. And they are mostly right. After all, didn’t they solve the murder of the last person who fell dead right in front of their very eyes? Well, here they go again when a car theft ring brings their dastardly deeds to the small town of Grace Springs. But they have to manage to solve the crime without either of them landing in jail this time.
I love these gals. Despite the fact that they couldn’t stand each other when they first met, they really are great together as amateur sleuths. And I love Marissa’s near constant klutziness. The entire cast of quirky characters (minus the bad guys, of course) have just endeared themselves to me. And Strong’s wit is so refreshing! There was nothing NOT to like about this book. And….there is some seriously good wisdom about relationships on these pages. A wise person would heed them.
