A snowy Christmas, a cozy café, and a holiday murder that nobody saw coming…

It’s a week before Christmas, and a winter storm has blanketed Lana Cove in snow and ice. For Ellie and her partner Olivia, owners of the Bittersweet Café, the season takes a surprising turn when they land a catering job for a holiday movie filming at the famous Marlow Mansion. With Michael lending a hand at their makeshift craft services table, they get a front-row seat to the magic of moviemaking—along with the quirky Hollywood stars and volatile personalities behind the scenes.
But when a mysterious death shatters the festive set, Michael can’t resist slipping into Castle-style sleuthing mode. Soon he, Ellie, Olivia, and Gerald—the grumpy but lovable security guard—are piecing together clues between coffee runs and Christmas carols.

Funny, warmhearted, and full of small-town charm, this cozy holiday mystery will keep you guessing right up to the final scene.

Book 3 in The Coffee House Sleuths can be read as a standalone.
