Poppy and Alex are back for another mystery in Happy Hour, the fifth book in the Poppy McGuire Mystery Series! Springtime brings warm weather and murder to Sunset Ridge, and for Poppy, this particular case strikes close to home. Antiques dealer Marcus Tyne is found dead in the front seat of his friend’s car outside of McGuire’s after a Cinco de Mayo celebration, but at first glance, there’s no reason why he’s dead. Until the coroner finds out he’s been poisoned. When a second man is poisoned, Poppy and Alex are thrust into a mystery that threatens to tear them apart. While they struggle to solve the case as their differences become more apparent, a murderer walks free in Sunset Ridge and may have another victim in their sights.
