Murder and the Midnight Message
(2026)(A book in the Coffee House Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Andi Cane
Alan Smith ordered the most expensive pour-over on the menu, tipped forty percent, and never stopped watching the door.
By Sunday night, his rental car was at the bottom of Miller’s Creek.
Hattie Calder knows when something feels off. She noticed Alan Smith’s shaking hands before he touched his cup. She noticed the sheriff closed the case too quickly. And when her cat, Beans, bats a crumpled receipt out from under the radiator, she notices the coded notes a frightened man left behind.
With her sister Sam and their tech-savvy friend Liam, Hattie starts pulling on a thread that leads to missing antiques, old accusations, and secrets Maplewood buried thirty years ago.
All signs point to Tara Ashby, the town’s most admired philanthropist.
Tara has spent decades building her reputation.
She has no intention of letting a dead dealer, a curious barista, and one sharp-eyed cat destroy it.
Because in Maplewood, some secrets were meant to stay buried.
And not everyone who gets too close walks away.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
