Trouble Brewing in Harrogate: A DI Adams mystery - magic, menace, & snark in a Yorkshire urban fantasy (Book Two)
This beer festival’s going off with a bang …
A call from an old colleague has DI Adams off her patch and out of her depth, investigating a mysterious new beer with unexpected side effects. Side effects far more dangerous than a simple hangover.
Deadly brewers. Super-powered DJs. Raging florists.
And it’s not just them. Half the police in Yorkshire have fallen for the beer’s spell, and Adams is barely keeping a step ahead. If she doesn’t figure this out before festival opening night the whole county will be under the influence of Niddered Ale, and there’ll be no sobering up from it.
Not ever.
But she’s got her invisible dog, her trusty duck, and her really big stick. Plus she’s just dying to arrest someone.
If she can get past those superpowers and stay out of jail, of course …

This is book two in the DI Adams Mysteries, although it could also be book three when one counts the prequel, What Happened in London. (I'm a writer, not a mathematician, okay?) But check out All Out of Leeds for the first of Adams' Yorkshire adventures.
The DI Adams Mysteries contain no graphic violence, scenes of a sexual nature, or strong language, but they do contain some blasphemy, as well as a truly disturbing level of caffeine consumption.

As usual, absolutely binged it.
Kim is a fantastic cozy writer but with DI Adams, she is nailing the urban fantasy as well. Magic, mystery, mayhem, cats, beer, big fights and a wonderful cast of characters. And she got werewolves *right*!
Definitely recommend DI Adams to anyone who loves Urban Fantasy
