Mocha, Masks and Murder
(2025)(The second book in the Amelia Clark Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Kara Post
Deadly Lattes & Small-Town Gossip
Retired librarian Amelia Clark thought small-town life in her late aunt’s cozy seaside cottage would be all tea, books, and strolls with her golden retriever, Duke. But when the body of slick businessman Mr. Smythe turns up behind Brewed Awakening, the town café, her quiet days dissolve faster than cream in coffee.
Armed with an eye for detail, a gossip-loving best friend from childhood, Nora, and Duke’s uncanny nose for trouble, Amelia dives into a maze of secrets, an old property dispute, cryptic diary entries, and a missing deed hidden in an ornate mask. Suspects brew everywhere: Leo, the charming barista with a suspicious family connection, and Fred, the town historian with plenty to hide.
As threatening notes pile up and danger creeps closer, Amelia must untangle the truth before Maple Shores loses more than its morning caffeine fix. Because if she fails, the next name on the obituary page might be hers.
