Nothing ruins your Morning Joe like a murder…
For small town barista Josie Malloy, it was supposed to be just another day. But when she stops by her Aunt Mae’s coffee shop that night for a forgotten item she stumbles upon a shocking discovery: a dead body. To make matters worse, the victim is Matt Black—the community’s most despised man and Mae’s bitter nemesis. Unfortunately, the police quickly name Mae their prime suspect thanks to several nasty, very loud, past arguments between them.
Determined to prove Mae’s innocence, Josie dives headfirst into the investigation. But Matt has no shortage of enemies. Was it his bored trophy wife? His angry teenage stepdaughter? The carpenter he cheated out of money? Or perhaps the handsome and mysterious Sean Abbott, Black’s newest neighbor? Not that Josie’s interested in Sean. Nope, not at all.
When Sean offers to help clear Mae’s name, Joise considers her options and reluctantly accepts. Together, they discover dark secrets about Matt Black, including whether he murdered his first wife. Yet, the closer they get to the truth, the higher the stakes become. Matt’s killer is still out there, and if they’re not careful, Josie and Sean could be next.
