Maggy Thorsen Mystery

review 1: Maggie Thorsen needs a new location for her coffee shop, and it also looks as though she may be needing a new partner. Her friend and real estate agent volunteers to be a partner, and she just may own the right property, too. But as they start working to transform an old railroad station into a modern coffee house, the series of accidents they face have Maggie wondering if there's someone out there who wants them to fail--or maybe to die.
review 2: Maggy Thorsen is going through a period of change. Her coffeehouse, Uncommon Grounds, was reduced to rubble due to a freak accident. Her partner, Caron Egan, wants out of the partnership. Life seems to take a turn for the better when Maggy’s friend Sarah Kingston shows her an old train station that would make ... morethe perfect location for the new coffeehouse. To Maggy’s astonishment, Sarah offers to be Maggy’s new partner. An even bigger surprise to Maggy is that Sarah confesses that she owns the train station. Sarah’s Aunt Vi had just passed away and the station was Sarah’s inheritance. And even better, the train that runs beside the station is soon to become a computer train between Brookhills and Milwaukee, about fifteen miles east. Sarah also has just the person to fix up the place and that is her cousin Ronny.The two women were shocked when the door opened and Kornell Eisvogel, Sarah’s Aunt Vi’s husband, walks in. There is no love lost between Kornell and Sarah. Kornell is mad because Sarah has inherited what he feels is his share of the depot.Kornell’s entrance is only the beginning of many bad things that begin to happen to sabotage getting the coffeehouse ready to open for business. Maggy seems to be present at the scene of many of these bad things much to the chagrin of Jake Pavlik, Maggy’s boyfriend and the Brookhills County Sheriff. This is the fifth mystery in the Maggy Thorsen series and one that keeps the readers guessing. It is not necessary to read the series in order. Balzo presents a great cozy mystery along with some very interesting characters. less
