This one was AAAAAAAdorable! Some people have comfort foods, some have comfort shows, I have comfort series. This is one of them and it's 60% because of Owen and Hercules and 40% everything else, I admit I'm biased.
In this one, Mayville Heights is wrapping up its summer music festival with a local band who hadn't played together in years. The act was a big hit and it was all people could talk about for days - until one of the band members, Mike Bishop (mild mannered endodontist by day and rock star at night) is found dead in his home from a head injury. Quickly ruled a homicide, Marcus begins his investigation along with reopening the death of Mike's grandmother who died several months previously in what was then deemed a medical event causing a car crash.
This wasn't an elaborate plot and after a major clue was revealed early in the investigation, I figured a lot of it out. And that didn't hamper my enjoyment in the least! I loved the plot, it was both poignant and tragic, and the many hilarious Owen and Hercules scenes kept the mood light (I want an Owen and Hercules calendar! I'm fangirling hard right now.) and I loved all the genealogy, I even learned a few things. I also loved the description of Zorro's act, I can't believe no one figured it out before then.
Overall, I enjoyed going back to Mayville Heights and seeing old friends and I look forward to catching up on the rest of the books.
