In VINYL RESTING PLACE, the first book in the Record Shop Mysteries, Juni Jessup and her older sisters Tansy and Maggy own Sip & Spin Records—a family record store/coffee bar. The Jessup sisters spend their days talking and playing music while serving up fun, music-themed beverages. Juni loves to wear vintage concert T-shirts. There’s always a different artist playing on the turntable. And then there’s the adorable drink special names!
Not to mention that there are several songs that hold clues to solving one of the mysteries.
I thought it would be fun to share a playlist inspired by VINYL RESTING PLACE. Together, these songs offer a glimpse into Juni’s world as she and her sisters try to find the killer and save the day.
