The Cheesy Steak Burger Murder

Burger Bar #6

by Rosie A. Point

There’s one case left: her mother’s murder. Can she solve it in time?

Christie Watson is sure she’s about to solve her mother’s murder case. That is until another dead body turns up in her front garden. A local charity owner has been killed and in Christie’s name, as well. If she can’t solve this murder, there’s no telling who might be next.

The longer Christie takes to find the murderer, the closer they get to the people Christie cares for the most. No amount of Sleepy Creek cheer or burgers can stop the inevitable. It’s time to close this case for good before it’s too late.

For followers of the Burger Bar series, this is the final book that ties everything together. Ex-detective Christine Watson is able to focus on the case that has been in the background of the first five books, the murder of her mother twelve years ago. Author Rosie A. Point provides a quick read and weaves the usual number of quirky characters from Sleepy Creek throughout the book.

This book can be viewed as a standalone, although readers not familiar with the story will probably be lost here and there with the references to past books. This will be emphasized when the twist and all the secrets are revealed at the end. Even as a person who has read all five previous books, I wished for a few clues dropped that might have given me the opportunity to guess who was responsible. Although the twist was unexpected, it felt like almost anyone could have been moved into the murderer’s slot.

Overall, a fairly enjoyable book that wraps up the previous five. Three-and-a-half stars.

Ho letto gli ultimi quattro libri, in realtà racconti lunghi, uno di fila all'altro perché c'era un filo rosso che gli univa tutti e che riguardava l'assassinio della madre della protagonista 12 anni prima. Devo dire che avevo capito solo parte della soluzione.
Le storie sono state interessanti, il cast di personaggi ben costruito e i vari hamburger mi hanno fatto venire l'acquolina in bocca tutte le volte. Serie promossa a pieni voti.

Such a good series! this is the final book in the series and I hate to see it end. Every book was better than the last. The small town setting, close friends, the investigations and, OMG, the food descriptions! I think I gained five pounds because of this series. You can read these books in any order, but I would suggest starting at the beginning to watch as Christie finds herself!

More than 5 stars. Wow! What a great book to end the series. Everything was wrapped up nicely. This is a really good series, I am sad to see it end.

I read this as part of a bookset. This series is a great little read. The commentary was great as it set the scenes for each story and helped to develop the characters’ personalities. Coming back home, Christie didn’t know many people. She was on a sabbatical from the Boston Police Department for performance unbecoming an officer. Christie followed her own rules and investigated issues in her own style. For that, she could lose her job; something she always wanted to be just like her mom. Christie gets into investigating any and all murders helping her friends while being told to stay out of it by the handsome detective. I love the characters. The friendship, camaraderie and love they shared for each other were wonderful! It made you feel like they were your friends and felt like you lived in the town. The twins were a hoot along with Curly Fries! A relationship started to bloom between Christie and Liam and I hope it continues to grow. A lot of twists and turns trying to identify the murderer in each story. Once I began reading, I couldn’t put it down. This was a fantastic cozy mystery with just the exact amount of humor, romance, mystery, intrigue, quirky characters, and adventure that will keep the reader thoroughly engaged.

Well Done

Well done, Ms. Point‼️I enjoyed the burger murder mysteries journey. However, the Watson/Cotton super burger sleuth’s duo should retire for a safer occupation & lifestyle like feline socialization service 🤭🤷🏾‍♀️‼️Nonetheless, “The Cheesy Steak Burger Murder (A Burger Bar Mystery - Book 6)” was a great read. Although, I’m not surprised by the person (s) responsible for the late Lillian Watson’s murder 🤷🏾‍♀️. I’d suspected the nefarious motives of a couple of Sleepy Creek residents since the third installment of the series. Thereafter, everyone in town earned a resolution for the Burger Bar’s patrons, the Sleepy Creek residence, obstinate felines & a HEA for other’s 😽🤩😍‼️

What an awesome and satisfying series ending and epilogue! It was absolutely epic and I was so happy for Christie finding out Sleepy Creek was really her home with a new loving family and a purpose in life since she closed the book on her mother’s case once and for all. That was some showdown too and I love Chris’s snark even in the face of death, she’s too much and a force to be admired at times.

And of course Missi never stops making me laugh, that woman’s such a hoot! Her last couple lines in the epilogue were classic Missi. And the epilogue itself was something to just grin over. Now I can’t wait to start the spin-off series!

I love everything Rosie writes!!!

I just finished the entire six book series in two days! Fast reader lol and I LOVED it. It has everything a great cozy mystery needs. I would love to see this series and some of her other books turned into a Hallmark Mystery Movie like Aurora Teagarden or Mystery 101; the books are that good and the perfect length for a quick read or a two hour TV movie☺☺ I highly recommend these clean cozies. No graffic violence or fowl language or sex. Just good clean reading.

3.5 stars.

Overall this series was fun and a quick and easy read. The writer doesn't go into much depth with the characters and I wonder how many times the word 'delicious' is in the 6 books. It's a very chaste series (no sex, barely even romance). Not sure I would read many more from the author though these were fun enough

[Sue Ruhl · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great ending to a great series!

I will review this series-ending book by simply saying that I started this book last evening and had to put it down at 5 a.m. because I could no longer keep my eyes open or my brain engaged!

[Camille Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

It wad one of those books that had a cheesy plot, limited character develop over the 6 book series, and MANY grammatical and spelling errors. For such short reads, a couple of hours each, not bad at all. I'll definitely read some of the other offerings by Rosie A. Point.

[Alisha Grant · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great series, had to look up what slued meant - turn or slide, caused a pause in a pivotal moment

[Lynn Mooney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful sad and happy story

I can't wait for Chris and Liam to get married and start on Detective adventures. It will make me tear they're again.

The epilogue couldn’t have been more perfect! 4.4

[kathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This whole series is a fun series! I would consider it a cozy mystery genre. There is no major violence, sex or swearing. Each book in the Burger Bar series takes about a couple hours to read. This is the last book in the series. I was lucky and was in the author’s advance readers copy group and able to read these books before they were published. My review is completely my own opinion.

I enjoyed the tension of the mystery of the cold case of the main character, Christie Watson and her mother’s murder. Each book in this series revealed some clues or ideas of what happened but it is finally wrapped up in this last book.

Each book also has a different murder that Christie ends up getting involved in even though she’s not supposed to. She is on sabbatical from her detective job in Boston and living in Sleepy Creek to take a break. She works for her best friend Griselda at her burger bar. I love Griselda’s cat, Curly Fries who adds a little humor to the stories!

And then there’s a cute detective to satisfy any reader’s romantic interest! Also there are the twins Virginia and Mississippi who are 80 and very funny together! Every small town needs it’s quirky characters! I can’t forget to mention Mona, the biggest gossip in Sleepy creek too!

This last book ties everything up nicely as it is the very last book of the whole Burger Bar series. There are some surprises which surprised me! I found this book very satisfying. Enjoy!

[Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

Christie Watson no longer has her job as a detective, but that isn’t going to stop her from finding out who killed her mother. While waitressing at her friend’s burger bar, she gets the inside scoop and gossip about everything, especially from 2 elderly twins. When a local charity owner gets killed while on the phone with Christie, she believes she found the missing link to finally solve her mother’s unsolved murder case. But time is not on her side when a loved one is kidnapped and Christie comes face to face with a maniacal murderer. Can she close the case and capture the bad guy before it is too late?

This is the sixth book in the Burger Bar Mystery and because it resolves some previous questions from earlier books, I would say that this would not be good to read as a stand-alone. It is, however, a very suspenseful cozy mystery with great writing and characters that you grow to love, so reading the first 5 books in the series will not be a hardship.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very satisfying ending to a fun, engaging series! I love how each book has its own mystery, but they all have a running mystery that connects all the books, with hints along the way. While I think this could probably be read as a stand-alone book, I think it's a richer experience to start this series with book 1 (The Fiesta Burger Murder) and enjoy getting to know the characters and the developing series storyline. I was really surprised by the reveal in this book, but the explanation was reasonable and not overly complicated like some conclusions can be.

I recommend this book - and this series - to anyone who likes getting wrapped up in a good mystery. Each individual book is a little shorter than a typical mystery, but they make for a fun, easy read and combine to make a bigger set of mysteries, all woven nicely together. I look forward to more books by Rosie A. Point in the future!

I received an advance copy of this book. This review contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

[Molly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, so there are also several murders throughout the series, but even the gross ones do not seem to be described in gory detail.

Christie Watson has one last shot to solve the murder of her mother - and to keep those close to her safe.

Who is this mysterious O’Connor? Male or female? Was a dirty cop involved in the initial investigation? What happened to the missing players?

Mona has directed her ire towards Christie, upset over the arrest of her family members. Is she really on top of the gossip in town, or really not?

Many changes loom, and dire consequences if a swift solution is not reached.

An exciting finale to this fun KU series!

I received an advance copy from Booksprout. I read this book on Kindle Unlimited. I read most of the books in this series on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

Quirky, funny and poignant.

[Amanda Wilcox · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final installment of the Burger Bar series was great! It was more intense than the others but everything has culminated to this point so I kind of expected it. I highly recommend reading this series in order because things do tie in and really grow on themselves as the plot continues from book to book. I wish there had been a little more growth in the relationships rather than some sudden advances but it's still a great series and now that it's in a nice neat box set, I highly recommend getting it because you'll just devour one story after the other.

[Debbie Orazi · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a perfect ending to this series!
I am so happy with how the author wrapped up the series - Christie and Liam working together openly, Griz and Arthur getting their HEA, even Mona acting almost friendly. I was quite surprised to see who the bad guys actually were, but in the end they got what they deserved and the town can get back to normal. Cannot wait for the next series!

Ex-Detective Christine Watson is so close to solving her mother's murder, that when another murder is dropped off at the Burger Bar takes place, it stops her investigation. The killer is getting closer to Christine and those she cares about, but can she stop the murders before anyone else is killed? Will she find her mother's killer? This is the conclusion of this series, to which I really hate to have ended. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from Booksprout.

[Kristi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series from Rosie Point is such a fun and entertaining cozy mystery series. Entertaining story line, fun characters you get to know as you read through the story. The right amount of drama, suspense and twists and turns. Rosie does a great job of keeping the reader engaged in each story. Love them!

Griz is serving up a yummy new burger! Her adoring Arthur is getting more adventurous.
But Christie is still taking things slow. Her mother's murder is foremost on her mind and she can not move on until she gets answers
Regretfully it is the last of this series.

A desperate call, a dead body, and a connection to her mother’s murder leads Christie deeper into an investigation that brings danger ever closer. The Cheesy Steak Burger Murder is an exciting mystery with characters that now feel like friends. I recommend the entire series.

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the final book in the series and it tied up all of the story threads satisfactorily. This is a fun series and none of the books are too long. I’d recommend reading them in order since, even though each book solves a mystery, there is also an ongoing storyline.

[Mickey Noel]

Another fabulous story!

This was a great series! Each of the stories was clever and fun to read. Absolutely surprised at the end of this book. A spin-off series, featuring one or more of the characters, could be a great new project...
