Coffee shop cozy mystery lakeside murder.

Murder is making waves in Honey Springs, Kentucky.

As collegiate rowing teams arrive for the annual regatta on Lake Honey Springs, the boardwalk is buzzing with visitors, the Bean Hive Coffeehouse is packed, and café owner Roxy Bloom is serving up coffee, pastries, and Southern hospitality to athletes and tourists alike.

But the excitement sinks fast when a beloved rowing coach is found dead near the marina, tangled in rowing grip tape.

What first appears to be a tragic accident quickly turns into murder.

As gossip spreads through town, Roxy is pulled into an investigation involving rival rowing teams, secret sponsorship deals, hidden grudges, and athletes guarding dangerous secrets. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that someone is willing to do anything to keep the truth buried beneath the surface.

With Aunt Maxi stirring up rumors faster than the morning coffee rush, Pepper sniffing out trouble at every turn, and the whole town gathering along the lakeside boardwalk for festival events, Roxy races to uncover the killer before another body turns up in Honey Springs.
