About this audiobook
First in a new series by Olivia Blacke, Vinyl Resting Place follows three sisters who discover that opening a family business can be murder. When Juni Jessup and her sisters Tansy and Maggie put all their beans in one basket to open Sip & Spin Records, a record-slash-coffee shop in Cedar River, Texas, they knew there could be some scratches on the track, but no one was expecting to find a body deader than disco in the supply closet. Family is everything to the Jessups, so when their uncle is arrested by Juni's heartbreaking ex on suspicion of murder, the sisters don't skip a beat putting Sip & Spin up for bail collateral. But their tune changes abruptly when Uncle Calvin disappears, leaving them in a grind. With their uncle's freedom and the future of their small business on the line, it's up to Juni and her sisters to get in the groove and figure out whodunit before the killer's trail-and the coffee-goes cold. Music and mocha seem like a blend that should be "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," but caught up in a murder investigation with her family and their life savings on the line, Juni wonders if she might be on the "Highway to Hell" instead.

Loved this one! I stumbled onto Olivia Blacke's other series about NYC a while back and really enjoyed it so I was excited when I learned she had a new series set in Texas, where I'm from. In her previous series the MC was from Louisiana, but in Vinyl Resting Place we are introduced to a trio of sisters from Austin as our protagonists. The author really does a great job of capturing the whole southern character vibe. So far, the sisters are an interesting bunch and a mixed bag of personalities that really play off of each other. That mixed with the usual cast of quirky side characters makes for a fun read. Now, I know it's not a romance but cozies still always manage to have that tease of a possible relationship but, no spoilers, I'm probably not "shipping" the same couple as everyone else. I doubt it will ever happen but I'll keep my fingers crossed just in case. Bring on book two!!!
