To Brew or Not to Brew by Joyce Tremel

What do you think of the 1^st person narration?
At the beginning of the book, there are mentions of small sabotage, does it make sense that Max does not take them seriously?

What do you think of the descriptions of Pittsburgh, especially Lawrenceville?
Max looked for Kurt and did not find him and then waited and stewed, is this a good way for her to find the body?
Is crying a natural response to Kurt’s death?
Are you surprised that more characters in mystery novels do not cry?
What do you think of Jake?
Max has a run in with Dominic at the cupcake shop, is he delusional to think a brew pub is going to hurt the business of a shot and beer bar?
How does the fact that the police think Kurt’s death was an accident free up this cozy?

What did you think of the Save Our Lawrenceville meeting?
Should the rubber rat in the bag maybe have come before the fire, isn’t fire scarier than a fake rat?
What do you think of Fran, the lady that wants to turn Max’s brew pub into a museum?
Do you think the idea of tunnels under the brewery is cool?
