Espresso Yourself: A Coffee Shop Mystery

Harper Lane thought running Brewed Awakening in the quiet town of Maplewood would be simple: fresh muffins in the morning, lattes at noon, and a steady stream of friendly regulars. But when a cranky food critic drops dead after sipping her new espresso blend, Harper's dream turns into a nightmare.

With her reputation-and her café-on the line, Harper has no choice but to investigate. Between juggling gossiping customers, uncovering long-buried grudges, and dodging the sharp-eyed local detective, she soon learns that Maplewood has more secrets than she ever imagined.

Armed with her reporter's instincts, a notebook full of clues, and plenty of caffeine, Harper sets out to clear her name and catch the real killer before her business-and her freedom-go up in smoke.

Perfect for fans of cozy whodunits and small-town charm, Espresso Yourself is the first book in The Coffee Shop Detective Mysteries, a series that proves murder and lattes are a dangerous mix.
