A Sprinkle of Secrets
(2025)(The fifth book in the Cafe Crimes Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Simone Stier
A Sprinkle of Secrets is the fifth book in the Cafe Crimes series—a clean culinary cozy mystery featuring amateur sleuth and former true-crime podcaster Parker Hayes in the charming small town of Magnolia Grove.
Parker Hayes has finally found her rhythm at Catch You Latte, her cozy cafe known for frothy lattes and sweet treats. Engagement season has the whole town swooning, and Parker is happy to keep the romance fueled with her Rosy Glow Mochas and Hazel's Sweetheart Sprinkles shortbread cookies.
But when a glamorous engagement party goes wrong, Magnolia Grove’s fairy-tale mood shatters. Whispers of murder ripple through town, and someone close to Parker is suddenly caught in the middle. As Parker starts asking questions, she uncovers jealousies, broken promises and secrets some folks would do anything to keep buried.
With her parents moving to town sooner than planned, cookie orders piling up and a killer desperate to stay hidden, Parker has her hands full. She’ll have to sift through the lies fast before Magnolia Grove’s cozy charm is shattered for good.
Pour yourself a sweet escape with A Sprinkle of Secrets—a cozy mystery filled with friendships, an adorable dog, small town secrets and just enough danger to keep you turning pages late into the night.
