The Bean Hive coffee house has such a warm and inviting atmosphere I’d want to visit every day. Roxie Bloom and her Aunt Maxi would be such cordial hostesses, and I’d enjoy chatting with them and their newest employee, Birdie Bebe, a smart and reliable young woman. Pepper, the schnauzer, is a little lovebug, and the new rescue kitten is adorable.
The murder plot is great—I was completely fooled by who the culprit turned out to be! I highly recommend this wonderful cozy series.

A new holistic health spa is opening in Honey Springs, Kentucky, and everyone is excited about it. Sounds like a wonderful place to be. The whole town plans to be there for the grand opening. Too bad there is a murder in the area on the first day and there is an eye witness. Loretta’s granddaughter comes to stay with her and Loretta pushes buttons to get her a job. This is a wonderful story. I didn’t want to see it end.

This was a good read. There is a new spa opening up in town. The man in town that is here to write a review ends up murdered. Roxy spends the book trying to figure out who did it. Of course she solves it and all is well for now.

Frothy Foul Play earns 5/5 Zen Ohmms...Engaging and Entertaining!
Mornings at The Bean Hive is Roxy’s favorite time of day with glorious views of the lake, aromatic coffee brewing, and loyal customers coming in for their daily steaming cup of one of her personal blends paired with one of her sweet treats and some gossip. Of course, it can turn hectic when Aunt Maxi pops in with her brightly colored hair, can of hair spray, and continued interrogation about wanting grand nieces or nephews. Customers range from regulars and tourists alike, but with everyone excited about Crissy Lane’s grand opening of her Bee Happy Resort, a wellness spa, many more tourists have arrived. A journalist from Healthy Women’s Magazine was encouraged by his health conscience wife to write an article about the spa and the holistic classes, and maybe a bit of Honey Springs and the coffeehouse will find its way into the article. However, Roxy’s irrepressible curiosity brings into question how Crissy was able to arrange financing for such an elaborate project; she was only a nail tech. She is, however, reminded to keep her nose to her own grind stone and the new employee outspoken Low-retta has forced on her. Fears and regrets swirl when she learns the granddaughter has a questionable past with worrisome legal entanglements. It’s all background noise when Roxy overhears a threat, learns of an argument, and, later, witnesses a murder!
Ohmmm Good! Tonya Kappes has brought eager fans, like me, another exciting book in her Killer Coffee Mystery. She offers an early tease with a peek at the murder and the victim in the Preview; this is helpful since the actual event takes awhile to actually occur in the drama. Often in Kappes’s work it is the journey. It’s been a year since the last book, “Dead to the Last Drop,” was released, so rightfully so, characters and connections are briefly revisited (good for newbies). The set up exploring suspicions, conflicts, and new characters give readers a head start trying to determine the suspects, motives, and opportunities, but descriptions of The Bean Hive’s treats and spa’s chanting classes, exploring relationships between Roxy and her aunt, mother, and her husband, and learning more about Birdie’s backstory make this a fascinating read. And the mystery of the “silent” partner...niggling!
Tonya’s writing style has always been entertaining, and her Honey Springs, Kentucky, creation is prominent on my literary “bucket list.” Her characters sparkle with southern flair and are centered in family and rich with wit, confidence, and in Low-retta’s case, some inconsistencies. There’s always fur friends in the background, but they’re not just window dressing; they often help define personalities or provide a listening ear. Can’t wait to head back to Honey Springs!
Put the Pot On! Enjoy a Coffee Tip from Roxy herself about how to avoid bitter coffee, then pair a cup with Aunt Maxi’s favorite Strawberry and Cream Donuts. The gossip is extra!

Frothy Foul Play by Tonya Kappes is the 9th novel in A Killer Coffee Mystery series. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. Everything a reader needs to know is included. Roxy Bloom owns the Bean Hive in Honey Springs, Kentucky where she roasts her own beans for unique blends of coffee for her customers plus bakes up sweet treats. She is happily married to Patrick Cane and they have two fur babies at home. I always enjoy diving into one of Tonya Kappes’ lighthearted tales. I like the author’s conversational writing style which makes the story a joy to read. This humorous tale moved along at a quick pace which had me finishing it in a couple of hours. The series has a cast of developed, quirky characters that includes Maxi Bloom, Loretta Bebe, and Bunny. The author’s word imagery brought the town to life for me. The interactions between Roxy and Birdie are great. I like Birdie who is a great addition to the series. The mystery surrounding the death of Tom Foster had several good suspects. Anyone of them could have done the deed. There are clues to help the reader solve the crime if you are paying close attention. There is a secondary mystery that is driving Roxy crazy. She wants to know the identity of Crissy’s investor. The person is quite a shocker. Pepper and Sassy are so cute, and I love reading about their antics. There is an adorable black kitten up for adoption who needs a forever home and a name. The humor scattered throughout the story keeps it fun and lighthearted. I enjoyed visiting Honey Springs, Kentucky and I look forward to catching up the Bean Hive family again soon. Frothy Foul Play is a lively cozy mystery with a cute kitten, a departed reporter, killer coffee, a covert backer, a new employee, and a bevy of baked goods.

Frothy Foul Play is the 9th instalment in the A Killer Coffee Mystery Series by Tonya Kappes.
This go around there is a new holistic spa opening up on the island called Bee Happy Resort owned by Chrissy Lane. Loretta’s granddaughter Birdie comes to stay and Roxy gets roped into hiring her but she seems like a natural. With all these people in town and hearing a few comments about the writer for Healthy Women’s Magazine, Roxy had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach but she didn’t expect someone to be murdered ...
As always a Tonya’s stories are filled with humour, wonderful characters and a mystery to solve.
I love visiting Honey Springs and the Bean Hive and looks like there will be some exciting things happening in future instalments... (I hope we don’t have to wait to long)
The mystery is interesting and well plotted, I did not figure it out till the reveal. I loved the interaction with Roxy and Birdie, and I think she will be a good addition the the Bee Hive family. I also like the inclusion of fur-babies into the story, this time there is a rescue kitty so far unnamed.
The story moves at a steady pace, and I had a hard time putting it down thus I finished it in a few hours. Please note you could read as a stand alone, but you will want to read them all.
I cant wait to take another trip to Honey Springs, Kentucky, to see whats new with Roxy and her friends. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading cozy mysteries.
I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I just love reading books by this author. I feel like I know the characters in these adorable towns. This is another very enjoyable book in this series. I hope that the new character Birdie will be staying in town for a while. She fits right in with the rest of the town's people.

What fun to be back at the Bean Hive with Roxy Bloom, her pups and hubby, and Aunt Maxi! I love this coffeehouse setting in Honey Springs, Kentucky, and how everything associated with being a Southern woman is prized! Maybe this is the year Roxy will get to join the Southern Women’s Club…if Low-retta will follow through on her promise!
When she was growing up, Roxy spent as much time as she could with her Aunt Maxi in Honey Springs. Her big-city world imploded a few years ago and there was only one place to go. She set aside her career as an attorney to open the Bean Hive, the best coffee shop you’ll ever find. Roxy has a roastery now to design her own special blends. She married Patrick, the love of her life when a teenager, and contributes to many facets of the community. She is also known as a body magnet (as in murdered bodies) and helps the sheriff to solve said murders. Roxy gets all the good gossip at the Bean Hive and keeps her law license active so she can help friends if needed.
Loretta Bebe talked Roxy into hiring Birdie, her granddaughter, who recently came to live with her after a series of behavior challenges. The teen is brilliant, hardworking, has experience in big city coffeehouses, and blowing up chemistry labs. Roxy will keep her promise and keep an eye on her in the meantime.
Crissy, a friend from school days, is opening the Bee Happy Resort. She will offer a variety of holistic services. It is not a low budget venture; when Roxy sees the buildings and surrounding area the first time, she is stunned at the beauty and details. Crissy has a silent partner who has put up all the money and has instructions from the partner to not tell anyone, especially Roxy, who it is.
Honey Springs is filling up with visitors attending Crissy’s grand opening. Roxy meets Tom, a magazine writer who can make or break a business owner who plans to write an article about the town, the resort, and maybe even the Bean Hive. It sounded good until someone tells Roxy that Tom has a problem with her coffee. When she is taking the tour at the resort, she sees Tom getting shot by someone wearing a hooded trench coat. On top of that, the sheriff thinks he was poisoned…and Roxy could be a suspect. Then the poison falls out of Birdie’s purse, and she’s next on the hot seat.
Come on down to Kentucky for the grand opening of what will be the destination health spa for the South! You won’t find any sugar or caffeine here, though. You will find the best meditation styles and classes, massages, yoga, and a few things we won’t talk about. The plot is finely executed, with twists and turns that made picking the whodunit like rolling the dice. I was certainly surprised with some of the elements of the resolution! And I was gobsmacked at who Crissy’s secret partner is! You can read this as a standalone as there is sufficient backstory woven in, but I suggest enjoying all of them! I highly recommend this to those who enjoy well-written cozy mysteries, great coffee, fabulous humor, and a sense of community like none other.
From a thankful heart: I received an e-ARC of this novel, and this is my honest review.

Frothy Foul Play
Killer Coffee, Book #9
Tonya Kappes
5 Stars
Synopsis:
Welcome to the Bean Hive Coffeehouse where the coffee is as hot as the gossip!
“Fabulous fun and fantastic fried food! Kappes nails small town mystery with another must-read hit. Don’t miss this one!”
– Darynda Jones, New York Times Bestselling Author of Eighth Grave After Dark
Welcome to Honey Springs where the gossip flows as freely as the coffee. and The Bean Hive Coffee shop was usually the magnet to where it all occurred.
Honey Springs, Kentucky is abuzz with the opening of a new holistic health spa. There are all sorts of outsiders in town to visit and participate in the opening. A reviewer from a famous magazine is there, but he has the bad habit of writing scathing reviews of everywhere he visits.
Could this be trouble for the grand opening?
Add to the mix Loretta Bebe (the town socialite) wants her granddaughter, Birdie, to work for Roxy, so what if she has a bad reputation that's a mile long?
Things get a little frothy after the famous magazine reviewer turns up dead and the weapon is found on Birdie.
Do you think Loretta is going to let anyone but Roxy Bloom use her lawyering skills to solve the murder?
You're darn-tootin' she aint!
Grab your coffee and hold on to your hat, this southern mystery is full of red-herrings with all sorts of snorts that'll having you wanting to stay for bit longer at the Bean Hive! (Goodreads)
Review:
The characters are well developed and well rounded. Roxy is a hard worker and she wants her coffee shop, the Bean Hive, to succeed. She has friends and family that are very willing to help her with that goal. When someone is killed and her new employee is a person of interest, she knows she has to find the killer. Hopefully, she will succeed.
The writing style flows smoothly and the book is an easy read. The author is very talented in her descriptive writing and it took me for a ride in Honey Spring, Kentucky. If it was a real place to visit I would be going there on vacation.
The mystery was well plotted and not easily solved. There were enough clues to sift through, suspects to consider and twists and turns to navigate through. You will need to be on top of your game to solve this one.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well crafted cozy mystery. You can never go wrong reading a book by this author.

This story involves a day spa, a coffee shop, a writer, and murder two ways. I like that there was a spa in a small town. It was unusual and makes for a quiet getaway. I hope it lasts. I was surprised at the ways the killed tried to kill the victim. They could have gotten away with it, if they had been patient.

Of course there is a murder and Roxy feels compelled to help figure it out. This story had a LOT of red herrings. A person from left field wound up being the culprit and boy was I surprised!
Another fun story!
Thank you to Tonya Kappas for the advanced copy.

So happy to get to visit Honey Springs again. Roxy, her family, and friends are great characters to visit, however, there is a new character in town. Birdie comes to Honey Springs to live with her grandmother Loretta. Roxy and Birdie have great chemistry, I feel Birdie is a great addition to this book and future storylines.
As always Author Tonya Kappes's books are full of humor, southern charms, pets, and mystery, with just a touch of romance. The mystery is well-plotted and moves at a good pace. I changed my mind a few times on who I thought was the killer and was surprised at who it actually was. The secondary storyline of who Crissy's partner in the spa is was very surprising to me the answer to this mystery was even a bigger surprise to me than the actual killer was. I am looking for to my next visit to Honey Springs to see how everything turns out for Roxy with this new person in town.
All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.

"Frothy Foul Play" by Tonya Kappes is such an enjoyable read. There is always something going on near the Bean Hive Coffee Shop in Honey Springs Kentucky. The Bean Hive is owned by Roxy, and she has one employee, Bunny. Every now and then, her Aunt Maxi helps out, too.
Loretta stops in to tell Roxy that she is going to hire her granddaughter, Birdie. Birdie is a troubled teen who is sent to stay with Loretta. Loretta wants to keep her busy and out of trouble.
There is a Bee Happy Resort that is having its grand opening, and a lot of people are in town for it. One of the main people is a man who writes reviews for a magazine. He is known for writing mean reviews. While he is in town with his wife, a murder happens, and Roxy has to help her friends figure out who did it.
This is such a great series by Tonya and I can't wait to read on and see what happens next.

Honey Springs, Kentucky, one of my favorite places to visit. The gossip in this town is a plentiful as the coffee. Unfortunately, that can also lead to confusion when something serious happens, like a murder!
This has been a long-awaited installment for me. I love heading over to Honey Springs for a visit with Roxy and the residents. With the winter we’re having, I could sure use a couple cups of warmth and Roxy’s tasty treats. I’m not going to get too cozy while visiting the Bean Hive, there is a lot of action happening in this town. Roxy’s best friend, Chrissy, is opening her new holistic health spa called the Bee Happy Resort and it’s bringing in tourists and a writer/critic for a women’s health magazine. Roxy promised Chrissy she would help with the grand opening, now she is afraid she will have to cancel when she finds herself short-staffed. Loretta Beebe, comes in to the café to let Roxy know her granddaughter Birdie, is now staying with her and needs a job.

Besides, Birdie has experience working as a barista. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Roxy hires Birdie. Although this solves Roxy’s need for help at the café, she has bigger problems on her hands when the writer ends up dead and Chrissy’s new business is in jeopardy.
Grab your to-go cup and head on out with Roxy as she tries to find a killer before anyone in Honey Springs is convicted, including Birdie, her new employee.

Although I try to figure out who the killer is, this one caught me off guard. Come for the coffee but stay for the excitement!
This has been a long-awaited installment for me. I love heading over to Honey Springs for a visit with Roxy and the residents. With the winter we’re having, I could sure use a couple cups of warmth and Roxy’s tasty treats. I’m not going to get too cozy while visiting the Bean Hive, there is a lot of action happening in this town. Roxy’s best friend, Chrissy, is opening her new holistic health spa called the Bee Happy Resort and it’s bringing in tourists and a writer/critic for a women’s health magazine. Roxy promised Chrissy she would help with the grand opening, now she is afraid she will have to cancel when she finds herself short-staffed.

Honey Springs, KY is about to have a fancy, upscale health spa to be called the Bee Happy Resort. Crissy has spared no expense but who is her silent partner? Roxy is eager to find out but before she does her attention is needed to figure out who killed the reviewer who was known to write less than favorable reviews. He plans to write about the spa, the town and maybe Roxy's coffee shop, The bean Hive. More than your average coffee shop, Roxy also roasts her own beans, creates special blends and does some baking, as well. Any bad reviews would be very bad news, indeed.
It's not long before a murderer strikes down the reviewer and the focus turns to Roxy and her new employee, Birdie. Let the investigation begin. Roxy will uncover the killer. Along the way we get to know Birdie, a wonderful character. We get a surprise reveal of the identity of the secret investor. We also meet a sweet little kitten looking for a furrever home. It's all wrapped up in a well laid out mystery and sprinkled with Tonya's usual humor and great recurring characters. I've always enjoyed this series, it's like a nice long letter from family. I can't wait for the next one.

I enjoyed being back in Honey Springs, where Crissy Lane is opening Bee Happy Resort, a holistic spa. Honey Springs is filling up for the grand opening, including a writer, who planned on doing an article for Healthy Women's Magazine. There is mention, that the Bean Hive could be featured.
When Roxy is short-handed, after Bunny takes a vacation, and the college help gone, she gets a surprise offer from Loretta Bebe. The bigger surprise is that Loretta is a grandmother and wants Roxy to hire her granddaughter. Roxy is hesitant after hearing about the trouble Birdie has gotten into, but Loretta doesn't give her much of a choice. Birdie earns her keep as she jumps in during the rush.
Camey and Roxy are given vouchers to try one of the spa treatments. Crissy is very secretive about her silent partner, but lets it slip that Roxy knows them. The not knowing is driving Roxy nuts! She embarks on trickery to see if she can get anyone to spill the beans. While touring the resort, Roxy is witness to a murder, as she is in a guest house looking out towards the other side of the lake. Roxy is pulled into putting on her sleuthing hat, in part thanks to Aunt Maxi!
I had no clue who the silent partner was, and was surprised! That will open a whole new can of worms, can't wait for the next book. I loved finding the plug for the Campers & Criminals series. Loretta Bebe's Southern bear was released directed at a few people made me laugh out loud! I'll pass on the Kombucha.
I received a complimentary copy and I have voluntarily reviewed this book!

A wonderful installment of what is quickly becoming one of my favorite cozy series. Roxy is kind and smart, but I appreciate that she’s not perfect. The close-knit community and family is one of the reasons I have come to adore this series. They look out for, and challenge one another, which plays a key role in this book. Also, Roxy‘s ex showing up at the end is pure drama, and I’m here for it!

This is a good instalment for the series, we discover new character(s) like the granddaughter of the famous Loretta : Birdie. The usual ones are still gossiping like crazy and Roxy is very curious about the New Spa which of course help her when she is investigating. You don't want to miss what happened to Bunny
Really, it was sweet , funny and there was quite the action...the humour with the yoya from Maxi point of view was simply too good. i love that southern atmosphere!
It was not my favourite in the series as i could guess the culprit and the secret investor too quickly however it did not prevent me to want to continue the book which is proof it's well written. I can't wait for next book
So if you love this series this one is not to be missed

Another great cozy mystery with Roxy and the gang in Honey Springs. I love each new adventure in this southern cozy mystery series. This is an ARC review.

Honey Springs is getting ready for the opening of Bee Happy Resort and Roxy has her hands full with the Bee Hive Coffee shop and needs a little extra help at the counter. Loretta's granddaughter, Birdie, is forced upon her to help with no experience and a shady past. She gives her the benefit of the doubt but when Tom Foster shows up to do an article on Honey Springs for a magazine, a disagreement between Tom and Birdie comes to light when he winds up dead but there is a long list of suspects to weed through to find the killer!
Honey Springs is like home in the best possible way with small town feel, southern sass, and the best friends you could ask for! Must read series!

Frothy Foul Play has been an interesting book from the start. We welcome back characters who reside in Honey Springs, KY and also Roxie Bloom-Cane and her Miniature Schnauzer pal Pepper.
New businesses are coming into Honey Springs and building the economy and it comes as a shock to Roxie when her friend Crissy opens the Bee Happy Resort. It shocks Roxie as this is the type of business which requires quite a bit of financial backing - the kind of funds her friend does not have. Crissy has a silent partner which Roxie is not allowed to know about. At the opening Roxie witnesses a murder across the bay, problem is the coat is one that several people could have purchased, and Tom Foster (the victim) has had a penchant for hurtful reviews on businesses. The kind that make or break it. Was Crissy involved?
I really enjoyed the story itself but had a few issues with the storyline. First, I love that Roxie was willing to take someone under her wing that has had issues with stealing, etc. But it bothered me that she continuously left her alone. I get building trust and the girl had experience, but the very first day she is there? I have never known any employer to do this and I do live in a small town where everyone knows everyone. Also, why is it such a big deal to Roxie to know who the silent partner is? I get she is nosy, but that also makes her seem like a control freak who has to know every move her friends make and in order to be her friend she has to approve of your choices. Lastly, the convenience of Roxie "seeing" the murder was a bit cliche.
The story itself is well written and my four stars comes from more about the characters than the story. It was a nice change to not have the murder first and foremost, but for it to happen later within the story as it gives you time to learn more about the future victim.
This story is best read as part of the series and could be read as a standalone, but reading the series will give you a better feel for the characters and their relationships.
This is my honest review and hope that you will take the chance to read this story and form your own opinion and review.

I was so excited to return to Honey Springs! I missed Roxy, Patrick, the pups, the Bean Hive Coffee shop, and the rest of the town.
To begin this story, Loretta (Low-reh-ta) Bebe's granddaughter Birdie is coming to stay and needs a job. Wait... Loretta has a granddaughter? And she has a bit of a sketchy past? That is just the beginning of this mystery!
To add to that excitement, Crissy has decided to move on from hairstyling and is now opening a new holistic health spa called the Bee Happy Resort (gotta love the names) which is the talk of the town. How can she afford it? Well, there is a silent partner who must remain a mystery-especially to Roxy. When a magazine reviewer known for his obnoxious and hostile articles shows up to review the opening of Bee Happy (and possibly the Bean Hive) trouble starts brewing. The magazine reviewer is killed, the murder weapon is found in Birdie's purse, and Roxy must solve the mystery and figure out Crissy's silent partner to set things straight once again.
I enjoy each visit to Honey Springs as I feel like I am getting together with friends. I can picture the boardwalk, docks, and businesses while I am reading and the characters are fully developed. This mystery kept me guessing until the end. Frothy Foul Play was a welcome escape from reality and I could not put it down! I especially love that Roxy hosts animals from the shelter in her coffee shop that need to find a fur-ever home. This simple nod to "Adopt. Don't Shop" means the world to me. I cannot wait to return to Honey Springs.
I received an advance copy and voluntarily provided a review.

Frothy Foul Play is book 9 in Tonya Kappe’s Killer Coffee Mystery series. I haven’t had a chance to read any of the other books in the series. I do plan to read the series from the beginning as soon as I can.
Roxanne’s friend Chrissy is opening a holistic health spa in Honey Springs. The grand opening is happening, and Roxy is happy for her friend. Chrissy has kept things under wraps until opening day and Roxy can’t help wondering how her friend is financially able to own and operate a business of this magnitude. So, after finding out who Chrissy’s silent partner is, Roxy needs to find herself a new friend. Just sayin’.
Roxanne also encounters Tom Foster, a reviewer for Healthy Women’s Magazine. He is in town to visit the health spa and the businesses in Honey Springs. Tom’s reviews are usually scathing, and he can break a business. Roxy is now on edge because he’s been skulking around her diner. When she witnesses him being killed, Roxy knows she needs to figure out who killed him, especially since innocent townsfolk are suspects.
Frothy Foul Play is a fun book with several storylines to keep the reader engaged and entertained. I don’t really feel like I missed anything by not reading books 1-8. The author does a wonderful job with character development, world building, and explaining events and people to the reader. I had an inkling of who was responsible for the death of the reviewer but the why’s and other details were a shock to me. I can’t wait to start the series from the beginning.

Tonya Kappe’s characters and stories transport you to places you want to live and introduce you to people you want to meet. It’s the perfect escape. I really wish I could pick up and go to Honey Springs. If it only existed other than on the pages of this charming book. Who wouldn’t want to head to The Bean Hive and have coffee with Roxy, Bunny, Pepper and the gang?
Crissy Lane is opening up a new holistic resort , the Bee Happy Resort and everyone, well almost everyone is excited about this new venture and what it can mean to Honey Springs. The big opening brings in lots of new people. Roxy has lots of questions about this venture, especially how Crissy paid for the resort. On top of that big question, someone who came to town to review the resort has been murdered and that means Roxy’s on the case, but it might mean she is a suspect too! After all, the victim might have an unpleasant review of the Bean Hive written. I love the twists and turns that come in every one of this author’s stories. I always think I have it figured it out, but Tonya Kappes has a way of making you think you know when you don’t! I love it! Grab this 9th installment in the Killer Coffee Cozy series, but don’t worry if you haven’t read the first 8, this is the perfect place to start!
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book. I am not required to leave a review. The comments and opinions expressed are strictly my own.

Frothy Foul Play is another excellent installment in Kappes' Killer Coffee Cozy mystery series. Roxy has her hands full with the opening of a new local health spa. This opening leads to a reviewer coming to Honey Springs who happens to have a habit of writing unflattering reviews. This reviewer is seen at Roxy's coffee shop with her new employee, Loretta's granddaughter, arguing before the reviewer is found murdered. Roxy wants to help solve this case because she not only cares about the suspects but because she witnesses the murder herself.
Kappes does a great job at setting up a great mystery for Roxy to solve as well as introduces a great new character in Birdie, Loretta's granddaughter. The secondary characters in this series are why this series is one of my favorites, and I hope to see more of Birdie in future stories. I also enjoyed seeing how Roxy was able to juggle all of these happenings while still maintaining her relationships with Patrick, Loretta, and Crissy. The book's mystery is well done and keeps the reader's attention from beginning to end. Overall Frothy Foul Play proved to be a great read that I would most definitely recommend. I look forward to reading Roxy's next adventure.
Received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
