Review of A Pint of No Return


Pint of No Return - Ellie AlexanderTitle:  The Pint of No Return

Author: Ellie Alexander

Series:  A Sloan Krause Mystery book 2
 
Chapters: 27

Pages: 296

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

The Pint of No Return is the second book in the A Sloan Krause Mystery series by Ellie Alexander. We return to the town of Leavenworth, Washington for the town's Oktoberfest which despite its name actually happens in September not October.  As the very first Oktoberfest was in celebration of a German Barron's wedding. Leavenworth Washington is an actual real town in the US that does indeed look like a German village.  
Brewmster Sloan is enjoying working and brewing beers for Nitro. All the while dealing with family issues when she stumbles across another dead body. This time a movie star, Mitchell Morgan who was filming a documentary about microbreweries and beer festivals.  It's up to Sloan to find the murder and save the festival. 
I enjoyed this book more than the first one in the series. I love the German village feel of Leavenworth as well as Sloan as a female brewer in a man's world.  This is a page turning cozy that's different from other cozy's I've read.   I believe this series is the only cozy series that focuses on the world of mircobrewing with a female brewer. But this one is great for people who know the community and enjoy a good food cozy.  I look forward to more books in this series.
