Pickle in the Middle Murder

In Jessie Chandler's Pickle in the Middle Murder, the third installment in the Shay O'Hanlon caper cozy mystery series, this mystery packs a helluva punch and gets down to some serious matters of the heart. When Shay and her girlfriend attend the Renaissance Faire, things do tend to get interesting  for them. At the time they discover a dead body in the port-a-potty, JT's accused and then arrested for the murder of the pickle vendor known as Russell Krasski. Frantic with worry, Shay would do everything in her power to set things right, while she held her own at her bar. It was up to her, Coop, and Eddy to pick up the pieces and get deep into the core of JT's life, even if it had to do with the past, and a mean cop named Clint Roberts, who has more than a bone to pick with her. As soon as she discovers more insight behind Krasski's demise, one clue lead to another and escalated to a gripping climax in a dicey situation to escape for her life.

This was another great and mesmerizing cozy mystery from Jessie Chandler. I instantly cared for JT and for Shay, as a loving couple and  as  two individual beings. You can see how much their relationship means for each other as they take it to the next level.  There's so much compassionate and how much they worked for their issues. I did feel bad for JT and despised Clint Roberts a lot.  I loved the Minnesota-St. Park locations and how it came to life on the page for the scenic settings. This would make you want to join forces with Shay and really get to the heart of the matter with drama, suspense, non-stop action and plenty of intrigue.
