A Pinch of Peril
(2025)(The eighth book in the Cafe Crimes Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Simone Stier
Spring’s brewing more than just blissful lattes in Magnolia Grove …
Parker Hayes is trying to keep things perky at Catch You Latte with Blueberry Bliss lattes and a firm commitment to staying out of trouble. But when a mysterious note is found hidden inside an old jewelry box from the Winslow estate sale, Parker’s plans for a quiet season get tamped down.
When she shows up at the Winslow manor to ask a few questions, she finds a dead body—and Deputy Colton Watkins, just shy of retirement, standing over it. Suddenly, Parker’s swept into a tangled brew of family secrets, long-buried betrayals and an increasingly hostile State Bureau investigator who warns her to stay far, far away.
Meanwhile, anonymous texts start trickling in. Eerily familiar ones. Her old stalker—the reason she abandoned her podcast and city life—might not be as far behind her as she thought.
As Parker digs into the past and present suspects—from resentful heirs and jilted friendships to a bitter barbershop owner—things only grow more dangerous. Is the murder tied to the mysterious note … or is someone using old wounds to cover up new crimes?
With a town full of eccentric suspects and one truly disturbing admirer, Parker must outwit a killer before this mystery turns into a double shot of danger.
A Pinch of Perilis a charming and chilling cozy mystery filled with Southern flavor, slow-burn suspense and a sleuth who just can’t seem to quit. Cozy up with your favorite brew—this one’s got a kick.
