A murdered agent. A vanished manuscript. And a festival steeped in secrets.
Willow Creek’s first Literary Festival was supposed to celebrate stories—not spark one. Gwen Mulligan is serving up caramel lattes and charm at Brewed Awakening, while Officer-turned-bookseller Ben Hastings prepares his shop for a bustling author lineup. But when notorious literary agent Colin Drexler is found dead between the shelves, the weekend turns from festive to fatal.With the festival in lockdown and rumors spreading faster than spilled coffee, Gwen, Ben, Helen, and the mischievous cat Mister Whiskers must untangle a plot of jealousy, betrayal, and buried truth. Every writer in town has something to hide—especially the one sitting on a missing manuscript worth millions.
To catch a killer who edits lives as easily as words, Gwen will need more than caffeine and curiosity. Because in Willow Creek, even the sweetest latte can come with a bitter aftertaste.
If you love clever sleuths, mischievous cats, and lattes with a shot of danger—your next favorite mystery is waiting.
