Former corporate executive Lila Harper thought the hardest part of opening a coffee shop would be perfecting her espresso recipe. But when renowned food critic Theodore Maxwell drops dead after sipping her signature blend, she finds herself at the center of a murder investigation that threatens everything she's built.
With her café shuttered and the town gossip percolating, Lila forms an unlikely alliance with her disaster-prone barista Ruby and the frustratingly attractive Detective James O'Connor. As they dig deeper into Maxwell's past, they uncover a brew of suspicious characters: a jilted ex-wife with a competing café, a vengeful restaurant owner, and a publisher with dangerous secrets.
When another member of Beanwick's culinary scene falls ill, Lila realizes the killer is still lurking. In a town where everyone knows everyone's business, can she uncover the truth before the murderer serves up a second shot?Perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke and Laura Childs.
