A man in hiding. A gang of outlaws searching for retribution. This is no time for cupcakes. Today is Brody Steele's first day as the new owner of The Red Herring, Pleasant Valley, Maine's only mystery bookstore. The cute shop has a loyal customer base as well as an ornery cat. Unfortunately, Brody doesn't know the first thing about running a legitimate business, he doesn't want to be in the small town, and he hates cats. On top of all that, he hasn't read a book since high school. When a cute woman walks into the store, he thinks his bad luck is about to change. But as she starts asking about the previous owner's whereabouts, his safe new existence begins to unravel. For Brody Steele is a man with a secret he must protect at all costs. The U.S. Government has invested a lot to keep it hidden, and his enemies will stop at nothing to expose him. Does happiness or death await Brody in this charming seaside community?

The Cozy Up Series #1
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be plopped down in a completely foreign-to-you setting and told you had to leave behind yourself and become someone entirely different? Why would this happen? Perhaps because you gave evidence to the FBI against someone with the power to kill you and fearing that would happen the government gave you a new identity. That happened to Beau Smith in this new take on the Cozy Mystery genre.
Beau has been put in Pleasant Valley, Maine to live a quiet life as a bookstore owner and given the name Brody Steele. He has a quiet town to settle into, a business to learn, a cat that came with the store and a town that wonders what happened to the previous owner. There is definitely a mystery or two or three to be solved and Beau/Brody is in the thick of things even while trying to maintain a low profile and not give away his past identity.
What I liked:
* Beau/Brody: a man with an interesting past who seems to enjoy the change a small town and its residents provide – especially Daphne
* The cat of many names – what an interesting idea for customers to have a cat in the bookstore and also have the legend that went along with the cat’s name
* The quirky characters sprinkled through the story
* That the cozy’s main character is a man and not the typical hero one would expect in this genre
* The twists and turns and surprises
* Beau’s ability to take charge
* The writing, plot and pace of the story
* That there was more action in this book than in most cozies
* The bad guys
What I didn’t like:
* The bad guys...glad they got their comeuppance
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
Was it the typical cozy mystery? No, not really, but I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
