Vinyl Resting Place is the first book of Record Shop Mystery series and the first Olivia Blacke's book that I'd read. I pick it up because..well, I like the cover and the premise of coffee shop that also sold vinyl is unique. Story told entirely from Juniper Jessup aka Juni's first PoV but she also share some spotlight with her sister, Tansy and Magnolia aka Maggie. Yep, all the women from Jessup family were named after flowers including their mother, Begonia aka Bea. The murder happen almost immediately in early chapter with Juni discovering a dead body in a supply close when the Jessup sister hold grand reopening of the Sip and Spin. To make matters worse, the victim hold Juni's uncle business card. Said uncle, Calvin Voight are famed for being a troublemaker in the town. When cop arrest Calvin because of some unpaid ticket bills, Calvin decide to disappear and the fate of the Sip and Spin is in peril.

This book tick some of the cozy mysteries trademark (amateur sleuth, small town, an effort to clean a family relative's name who become a suspect) with a solid mystery until the end. Just like Juni, I wrongly guess the culprit, lol. Imagine the shock that Maggie and her husband, J.T, when Juni accused J.T of murder but in the other side I'm relieved to find that the culprit is not one of Juni's family so yeah, Calvin is of course not the murderer although his business kinda shady and not forget that he disappear for almost weeks. The sisterly bond between Juni, Tansy and Maggie is a delight to read, also how they are also very close with their mother. I like the way they navigate their business in selling vinyl and their drinks have some unique names that have music or lyrical puns. Although, from romance department, there's a hint of love triangle. The detective that investigate the case, Beauregard Russell aka Beau is Juni's ex, while Juni also getting close again with her high school best friend, Teddy Garza. Personally speaking, I prefer Juni to be with Teddy because I think Beau kinda annoying since he and Juni break up via text and it was Beau first that text Juni. Coward.

Looking forward to read book 2, Fatal Groove!
