My favorite of the series so far. Another trip to Stoneybrooke, a very charming town, filled with so many wonderful characters. Gran has been an absolutely delightful addition to the town. Another cat is introduced and plays a big part in this mystery. The dynamics of Hadley and Luke’s relationship has improved and watching Hadley and Suze, now along Luke, on the hunt for clues is so much fun. Like Luke charms everyone in the town, so he does with the readers as well. Good mystery with many suspects and definitely some surprises. Looking forward to the next book, which I’ve already started.
This review is for the audio book.
I really enjoyed this book and In fact I just love the series and highly recommend every book. The mystery is good with a number of twists but it is the characters that really make the story so much fun,. They are so likeable and because I started with book one they now feel like old friends and it is like catching up with friends as each new book comes out. The author creates such a colourful world with her words and description that it is easy to picture and imagine. I am off to start the next book which is unusual because I like to break up a series so I don’t finish it to quickly but with this series I can’t wait to start the next book.
There is a new shop in Stoneybrook that is proving to be very popular with villagers. That is until a stranger is found murdered in the alleyway behind the shop. Hadley’s twin brother has his work cut out for him as the deputy in charge of the investigation because despite the victim having lived in the village for a year nobody knows who she is or won’t admit to knowing her. He soon enlists help from Hadley, Luke and Suez in questioning the three leading suspects because they might be more willing to open up to someone that isn’t in a uniform. All three have very strong motives but also alibi’s. Can Hadley and her friends find a clue that will help the police make an arrest? As Luke and Hadley’s friendship grows stronger they also come to the aid of a trapped cat. Could that prove to be a turning point in the case or there relationship?
I like the narrator and think she really helps bring the characters to life with her bubbly voices.
Juice can be murder!
Who knew a juice bar could be deadly?! Well, when you get Hadley, Luke, Paul, and Suzanne involved you know there will be plenty of fun…cats…and murder. And that’s exactly what you get in A Juicy Murder!
I have to say that it’s been interesting to see what tough and even dark issues Eryn Scott will take on in her fun and entertaining A Stoneybrook Mystery series. This book was no exception. I enjoyed every bit of the seeming contradiction between wholesome and mayhem that makes up a really good cozy mystery.
A Juicy Murder was a fun case to try and solve alongside Hadley and crew. Eryn Scott added plenty of twists and turns to her story which kept it interesting and me eagerly listening to find out if I was right about whodunit in the fifth Stoneybrook Mystery.
As far as audiobooks go I was pretty happy with this one. The narrator has remained the same for the series so far and she was a great choice for the job. No complaints about the sound quality or anything else. Just a great story to while away a few hours listening…

There’s a new shop in town and suddenly there’s a new murder as well. The body wasn’t the shop owner, but she did discover it (she has an alibi). no one seems to know who the victim is until two friend spot and rescue a kitten from an overheated car owned by the victim and the law discovers that the victim has lived relatively unseen in their small town for about a year. Let the sleuthing begin! There’s a little romance on the side but it doesn’t overpower the great mysteries of the book.
Narrator Jennifer Jill Araya has an enthusiastic delivery that adds so much to the story.
This series continues to get better with every book!
I love reading cozy mysteries especially when the author tells the story so well that you feel like one of the townies. That is exactly how I feel about this cozy mystery series. This story is the fifth book of the series and just as entertaining as the first four books. I am now binge reading the series. Eryn Scott is definitely one of my favorite authors now.

5 Star review Juicy Murder (Stoneybrook Mystery #5) by Eryn Scott
Audio Review:
I loved this book from start to finish. It’s a cozy mystery and one that I found thoroughly entertaining. In fact I listened to this one in almost one go as I kept saying, just one more chapter.
The narrator Jennifer Jill Araya did a fabulous job and certainly kept me entertained. This was a a book filled with secrets, miss communication and enough clues to indulge my detective spirit. The intrigue and suspense kept me on riveted as I listened to this story.
There are many twists, turns and surprises in Juicy Murder as Hadley, her brother and her band of friends follow the clues and I have to say that I was a little shocked on occasion.
I was given this free review copy of this audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
A woman is murdered in Stoneybrook, but no one claims to know her. But she is not a stranger as everyone believes. Someone is lying, but are they the murderer? Or is there more that want her dead?
There are enough twists to keep you guessing. An enjoyable
cozy from Eryn Scott that I enjoyed. I received an ARC from the author for my honest review.
A fun read as always. I always enjoy reading these book.
