Murder Has a Bad Habit of Stopping By for Coffee
Daphne Cole opened a bookstore café for pastries and peace, not another murder with her name attached to it.
When a smug, out-of-town reporter starts poking around Tansy Ridge and hinting that Daphne attracts crime, she tries to show him the door, backed by Mooney’s unmistakable ‘you should leave’ rumble. Hours later, he’s found strangled behind the community center, clutching a bookmark from her café.
Suspicion spreads fast. Wade Tupper, a fame-hungry junior reporter, stood to inherit Graham Kelso’s unfinished scoop, and the spotlight that came with it. Francine Bell, the baker that Graham publicly flamed, had every reason to want revenge after his reviews nearly ruined her business.
With anonymous threats appearing, evidence turning up where it shouldn’t, and someone clearly framing her, Daphne leans on her sharp-witted friends, and Mooney’s uncanny instincts, to untangle the truth.
The killer is watching, and if Daphne doesn’t solve this puzzle fast, the next headline might have her name in it, and not as the hero.’
