Triple Shot    by Sandra Blazon Order:  USA  Can Severn House, 2011 (2011) Hardcover     Reviewed by Mary Ann Smyth With Triple Shot, author Sandra Balzo brings us the seventh of her Maggie Thorsen mystery series. Maggie and her real estate maven/best friend Sarah Kingston have opened a coffee shop, Uncommon Grounds, in Brookhills, Wisconsin, in the town's historic train station. Things go well until they notice a rank stench filtering into their shop. The overpowering smell, which seems to be coming from below their business, certainly won't be conducive to selling fragrant coffees. Investigating, they discover a small room where it is rumored Mafia members used to hide until the train they wanted to take would reach the station. Unfortunately, instead of a member of the mob, they find a rival real estate agent murdered! A television personality, hoping to revive his fading career, arrives in town planning to do a story on alleged heist money that was never found. He wants to do a live broadcast and pinpoint where he believes the money is stashed. Several more realtors bite the dust. This was a quick read that delighted me. I like Maggie's character. I guess I'd call her plucky if that weren't such a passé term. The dialogue sparkled and the plot took unexpected turns that all led up to a very satisfying conclusion.
