A missing person. A cryptic note. A case that turns Magnolia Grove upside down.
Parker Hayes is ready to brew up a winning season at Catch You Latte, serving Spring Fling Lattes and zesty lemon tarts as Magnolia Grove gears up for one of its biggest celebrations.
But when a beloved town fixture vanishes days before the festivities—leaving behind a cryptic note—Parker’s coffee break turns into a high-stakes hunt for answers.
With a secret manuscript, shady dealings at the Dollar Dash and an author duo behaving strangely, Parker finds herself tangled in a case with more twists than she expected. And when the truth takes a sudden turn, she’ll have to untangle the clues fast before Magnolia Grove’s big celebration becomes another crime scene.
