Chapter 1 of this cozy mystery opens with "So, this is our new island hot spot, I hear." Through the front door of Books & Brew walks one of the island's long-standing "characters." He meets the island's newest full-time resident who has just opened this welcoming bookstore that serves coffee and tea along with an array of books for sale or trade. That's the core appeal of a cozy mystery: a new community to explore.
