Reviews with content warning for Murder - Killer Content

The part of this book I enjoyed most was Odessa's day-to-day life, working at the cafe and taking care of Rufus the adorable and friendly cat. The murder mystery felt tacked on and incomplete, especially considering how long it took to move forward at all. Still, I liked Odessa as a character and enjoyed her adventures around Brooklyn.

Odessa has just moved from a small down in Louisiana to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC, NY. In the midst of the culture shock, she gets a job a independent book store that has a cafe that sells all the hipster foods you can eat and all the hyperlocal craft beer you can drink. It's a job, waiting tables and trying to avoid getting run over by food trucks, when her coworker falls to her death during a flashmob. With no evidence, the police quickly rule it an accident, and stop investigating. Odessa decides that she has to investigate and ends up making friends for life while solving a murder.

It's an interesting murder mystery, and has an interesting look at life in Williamsburg.
