Rate this book
A dead college student, an angry mayor, and a feisty cat—Is Ivy in over her head?

When a group of outspoken college students set up camp outside Muddy Creek, the mayor isn’t pleased. But things take a deadly turn when one of the students is poisoned, and the trail leads back to Ivy's diner. Ivy must race against the clock to uncover the truth and catch the actual killer.

As if the murder case isn’t enough, Ivy’s growing feelings for Jett are making it hard to focus, and Deputy Leford is determined to keep her away from any evidence. Will Ivy find the killer, or will her beloved diner be closed forever?

Oh Ivy

It’s hard to pick a favorite character. Of course I love Ivy…..but author Kristy Dixon has developed all her side sleuthing buddies so well, I want to hang out with all of them. Well maybe not the new Deputy….yet! Another delicious quick read, with interesting twists and turns. These cozy stories keep your brain engaged wonder “who-don-it”. Until well, you and Ivy stumble upon the truth! Now off to our next adventure!

Adorable

This series has yet to disappoint me. This is another cute installment with more progression between Jett and Ivy. I'm also looking forward to more involving the new sherif secretary, Jane, I could see here being a fun occasional addition to the antics.

This book was enjoyable. I truly love how this author takes her books on a “thriller-esq” (not sure if that’s a word) ride but it’s so totally cozy. The characters (especially Boyd) and insane and delicious
