The Cure for What Ales You

Sloan Krause Mystery Series, Book 5

By: Ellie Alexander

Narrated by: Carly Robins

Amateur sleuth and brewer Sloan Krause contends with her past - and a murder related to it - in The Cure for What Ales You, another delightful mystery from cozy writer Ellie Alexander.

After a long cold winter, spring is beginning to bloom in the alpine village of Leavenworth, Washington, where craft brewer Sloan Krause and her partner in crime Garrett Strong are putting the finishing touches on their bright and refreshing Lemon Kiss ale. They'll be debuting their new line at the Maifest celebration, which will bring visitors from near and far to dance around the Maipole and shop at the outdoor flower markets.

Despite the festive spirit in the air, Sloan is brewing over her past. She's spent months following leads that have turned into dead ends. But when she spots a woman who strongly resembles Marianne - a long lost contact who may be her only connection to piecing together her story - she hopes that things might be taking a turn in her favor. That hope is quickly smashed when Marianne is involved in the murder of a local housekeeper. To make matters worse, Marianne issues a dire warning that Sloan and her entire family are in danger. If Sloan can't figure out who the killer is and what happened in her past, she won't find any hoppy endings.

Excellent story

This story answers many questions about Sloan and her family. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I will listen to it again soon!! Enjoy!

Wow, So Good

I love this series and this book. Sloane is such a strong yet relatable character, and Mac and Garrett, along with Hans, Alex, and Kat, are all growing and evolving in such amazing ways. I cannot say the same for April, but you gotta have one cringe worthy character. This book has more twists and turns than you may think, but it makes for a thrilling ride. I am so glad this series will continue.

Intriguing Storyline

I really enjoyed the storyline about Sloan’s past. The other part of the mystery was good also.

Intrigue

I like the multi-dimensional characters, new and existing. Sloan Krause does not shy away from getting to the truth.

Love it

I started this series because of other books by the author and I’ve not been disappointed. I’m not a beer drinker, yet am captivated by the descriptions of the process, varieties, etc. and the cozy murder parts are great too! I hope the series continues!
