Cozy Up to Murder

Cozy Up Series, Book 2

De: Colin Conway

Narrado por: Damon Abdallah

A man hiding from his past. A detective hunting for a murderer. This is no time to bake a pie. Today is Owen Hunter’s first day in the coastal city of Costa Buena, California.

He’s the new owner of Rockafellers, a vintage record store struggling to find customers. Much of that is due to Headbangers, a competitor with a better product mix and an aggressive owner. There is also a local do-gooder group who wants Owen to fall in line with their vision for a kinder, gentler Costa Buena. None of that worries Owen, though, because he is determined to be the number one used-music store on the boardwalk - even if that means stepping on a few toes. But when a murder occurs shortly after his arrival, he’s identified as prime suspect number one. Owen Hunter must clear his name fast because he can’t afford to have a bunch of nosy cops poking around. For Owen is a man with a secret that he must protect at all costs.

The U.S. government has invested a lot to keep him safe, but his enemies will stop at nothing to find him. Do prosperity and happiness await Owen in this coastal community?

Pointless plot

This book’s plot goes nowhere. It doesn’t really link to the last book in a meaningful way. It’s a brief interlude then the MC is off to another location without us (or him) really learning anything about him,

Damon Abdullah's performance is excellent!

I'm a little bit behind in my reading of the 'Cozy Up' series. I blame my over exuberance to read author Colin Conway's books. I originally got hooked on the '509' series. While waiting for the next book, I discovered 'Cozy Up to Christmas.' I didn't notice that it was book #5. It was so good that I decided to read them in order.
The 'Cozy Up' series is about a former member of an outlaw biker gang turned state's witness. The only way he survives is via the witness protection program. With the gang and now organized crime looking for him, he must remain very low profile. The operative word here is 'must!' In this book, under the alias of Owen Hunter, he is placed in a small ocean side community where the task is simply to run an existing '50s and '60s record store. It doesn't take long for Owen to tramp all over the idea of a low profile. Of course, it's really not his fault, exactly, but it doesn't take long for Owen to be enemy #1 in the coastal city of Costa Buena, California. Along with a cat that moved with him, like the other books, 'Cozy Up to Murder' is a very enjoyable read. I also recommend the Audible book performed by the very talented, Damon Abdullah.

Love the male main character

Can't wait to read the next one. It's light and so fun. the male main character is great!
