Bitter Brew
(2025)(The first book in the Tiny House Coffee Mystery series)
A novel by Fiona Bramble and Maisy Marple
Murder is brewing in Willow Springs...
Lily Bennett has left her city life behind to pursue her dream: a custom tiny house and a charming coffee shop housed in a renovated Airstream trailer. With her loyal Australian Shepherd, Bean, by her side, she's ready for a fresh start in the picturesque small town of Willow Springs.
But the morning after her grand opening, Lily discovers something that definitely wasn't on the menu—the body of local café owner Patricia Morris, face-down on the floor of Tiny Beans Coffee. Worse yet, Patricia appears to have been poisoned by a cup of Lily's own specialty brew.
With a determined police chief eyeing her as the prime suspect and her fledgling business in jeopardy, Lily must clear her name before her dreams turn as bitter as day-old coffee. Teaming up with handsome local carpenter Sam Cooper, whose skills extend far beyond woodworking, Lily digs into Patricia's past and uncovers a town percolating with secrets, rivalries, and corruption.
From the suspicious mayor with a hidden agenda to the jilted business partner with an axe to grind, everyone in Willow Springs seems to have a motive for wanting Patricia out of the picture. As threatening notes appear and strange "accidents" begin plaguing Tiny Beans, Lily realizes the killer is still at large—and she might be next on their list.
Can Lily track down the murderer before she becomes the next victim? Or will her sleuthing efforts land her in hot water deeper than any French press?
Bitter Brew is the first book in the delightful Tiny House Coffee Mysteries series, featuring a determined heroine, a charming small town full of secrets, and a frothy blend of coffee, clues, and community that will leave readers eager for the next sip.
