BOARD TO DEATH Board Game Shop, Book 1

Robert Mac Minshew gives a fun, upbeat performance of this queer cozy mystery set in Salt Lake City. Ben has left his job in academia to help run his dad's board game shop back home in Utah. When a local game collector is found dead outside the shop, Ben becomes an immediate suspect. Desperate to clear his name, he teams up with the cute florist next door to solve the mystery. Minshew narrates with a light touch that works well with the book's nerdy humor and lighthearted tone. Ben sounds just like a stressed-out 30-something business owner. And while Minshew doesn't create particularly unique character voices, he still captures the many personalities that make up the local gaming community.
