Murder and the Cold Brew Crimes
(2026)(A book in the Coffee House Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Andi Cane
Cold brew, summer crowds… and a dead developer.
Maplewood’s annual Cold Brew Crawl is supposed to be good for business at Brewed Awakenings. Instead, barista Hattie Calder watches the town’s most disliked developer collapse after grabbing the wrong tasting cup.
Within minutes, Brent Sleedy is dead.
Most of Maplewood already has a suspect. The activist who fought his construction projects. The banker furious over missing money. The carpenter with a temper and a public grudge.
But Hattie saw something no one else noticed.
With her sister Sam, tech-minded friend Liam, and Beans—the café’s completely unqualified detective cat—Hattie starts pulling at threads the police are ignoring. Gossip spreads, alibis crack, and every answer leads to another lie.
Because someone in Maplewood planned the perfect murder… hidden inside the chaos of a coffee festival.
And if Hattie gets one detail wrong, the person who poisoned Brent Sleedy won’t just escape justice.
They’ll make sure the next cup is meant for her.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
