Vinyl Resting Place by Olivia Blacke


 Juniper Jessup, Juni, leaves Corporate America to join her two older sisters, Tansy and Maggie, to open Sip & Spin, a vinyl record store. The same store that their grandparents and parents had before they sold it. 

After the grand opening, Juni finds a dead body in their supply closet and their Uncle Calvin goes missing. Juni and her sisters struggle to understand what business their uncle has with a dead girl, while also trying to prove his innocence. 

Juni feels it’s important that she find him before anyone else. Before someone manages to successfully stop her from doing anything ever again.

I have not read any of Olivia Blacke’s novels prior to this one.

I liked the beginning of this series. Sometimes, it felt like the “justice system” aspects went a little faster than what would actually happen in real life. However, I understand also that this is a cozy novel and it's meant to make the events flow.

The one thing I am very concerned about is the potential love triangle that appears to be forming. I am firmly on Tansy and Maggie’s side of the debate. I strongly did not like Beau and how he treated Juni. I really hope the author doesn’t take the reader down that road in future novels, but I also cannot wait to see what happens next with the Jessup sisters. Maybe one a novel from each’s point of view?

Overall, I rate this novel 4 out of 5 stars.
