📚Book Review: Revealations by Ruth Drabkin

From the very first page, Revealations pulls you into its quirky, caffeine-fueled chaos with an irresistible premise: an undercover cop working as a barista in a grocery store café. Ruth Drabkin blends humor, suspense, and sharp modern charm to create a mystery that is both entertaining and refreshingly unpredictable.

The story follows Raven McCool—alias Penny Padlock—who trades her badge for an apron at Sunset Star Coffee. Her cover seems simple enough until a coworker dies from a poisoned drink, thrusting her into a whirlwind of secrets, betrayal, and danger. Between steaming lattes, dodging suspicious coworkers, and decoding cryptic instructions from her handlers, Raven finds herself in a high-stakes game where everyone has something to hide.

Drabkin’s writing is witty, fast-paced, and perfectly attuned to Raven’s bold personality. The dialogue sparkles with sass and energy, balancing laugh-out-loud comedy with darker themes of trust, power, and hidden motives. Characters like Trina, Betsy, and Raven’s flirty coworkers are vividly drawn, each layered with secrets that keep the reader guessing until the very end.

What makes Revealations stand out is its ability to juggle tones without missing a beat. The humor lightens the tension without diluting it, while the simmering romantic tension adds just enough spark to heighten the drama. Each subplot is tightly woven into the main mystery, creating a narrative that is both chaotic and brilliantly cohesive—much like the bustling café where it all unfolds.

By the end, Revealations feels like the perfect blend: part murder mystery, part rom-com, and part thrill ride. With its clever twists, sassy heroine, and addictive pace, it’s a story that will keep readers laughing, gasping, and eagerly flipping pages. Mystery lovers and rom-com fans alike will sip up every word.

When I talk to people about what my ideal job is, the first thing I usually tell them is: “if I could be paid to learn, that would be the best I could ask for!”

Well the last two weeks have been a whirlwind of education. Not only for myself, but these two phenomenal teams that will be opening our upcoming new stores.

I couldn’t be more proud and happy with their dedication to learning. This was just a sampling of the wines we were educated on, let alone the spirits and beers. As well I was able to go through the certification process of becoming a trainer/educator for the staff of new store openings.

Cheers to you all, and to the next step in our careers!
Let’s go Team Brentwood!
