Thanks for a free copy! My attention was caught by the yummy oysters on the cover lol. I didn't start the series from the beginning but if this book is a standalone then ill start with it. Nice review.

I was immediately intrigued by the title. When I read the description of the story, I loved how the title described the book. I believe I will enjoy it. Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

This book sounds like a compelling blend of mystery and character-driven storytelling. The balance between Drew and Mack's investigation into the oyster mandate poisoning and Alex's personal quest to reclaim his peaceful life gives the novel a well-rounded depth. Nice review.

Thanks for this detailed review! The way you described Shucked Up makes it sound like a really engaging mystery. I love a good whodunit where you can try to piece together the clues, and it seems like Edwards did a great job with that. Alex's storyline sounds like a nice addition to the main plot too! Definitely adding this one to my list of cozy mysteries to check out.

The irony of life is that the things we need to survive do not look like we need them at face value. Imagine a disease-carrying oyster being what is needed to save lives. I am itching to see how this miracle or magic (whichever one applies) happens.

The suspense in this book makes it even more interesting for me. I can see myself following the clues and solving the case along with the author. It also seems as though the story revolves around many characters, each with an interesting life. With murder, mystery, and drama, it seems like readers are in for quite a ride. I can’t wait to find out how enjoyable that ride will be. Thank you for the insightful review and congratulations to the author on being selected Book of the Day.

"Shucked Up" by Leelon Edwards is the third book in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone without any problems. Mack is poisoned and Drew needs to find out who targeted his friend. I like that the book is full of unexpected twists and clues.

The murder mystery in this book is excellent. I thought that Edwards did an amazing job of threading clues throughout the novel without being too obvious. Eagle-eyed readers might be able to solve the case before the big reveal, which can be quite fun. I thought there was a nice balance between unexpected twists and logical clues to follow as I read along.
- Threading of clues without being obvious, eagle-eyed readers being able to solve the case before the big reveal and a balance between unexpected twists & logical clues is quite a combination to look forward to. I'm looking forward to it. Thank you.
