Death of a Bean Counter by Sandra Balzo has Maggy Thorsen discussing a new venture her business partner, Sarah Kingston when Sheriff Jake Pavlik walks into Uncommon Grounds with a deputy by his side. They are there to question barista, Amy Caprese about her boyfriend, Kip Fargo. Kip is dead and Amy is one of the last people to be with Kip before he was murdered. It was reported that Kip and Amy had a loud disagreement and Amy turned down Kip's marriage proposal. Amy is in hot water and Maggy is going to pull her out of it before Amy gets burned. Death of a Bean Counter is the 12th A Maggy Thorsen Mystery. I did not know that when I requested the book. I did find myself at a loss in the beginning, but I quickly caught up thanks to the background information included. I thought the story was well written and just the right length. The story moved along at a good pace with a variety of suspects and good clues to help a reader solve the whodunit. I thought the mystery was unique. I enjoyed the creativity the author used. Maggy may be searching for a killer, but she does have a business to run. She deals with business issues while trying to clear Amy. I enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout the story. I thought the main characters were developed and realistic. I liked that Maggy is a mature character who is kind and thoughtful. Death of a Bean Counter is an entertaining cozy mystery with a perplexing puzzle, coffee machine conundrum, a baffled barista, gorgeous gardens, and pizza pie.
