A novel by

 
 
Red carpet glamour comes to Magnolia Grove … and Parker Hayes is ready for a week of movie magic, packed crowds and film-festival buzz at Catch You Latte.

But when a shocking incident rocks the Magnolia Grove Film Festival, the official story doesn’t sit right. Not with Parker’s instincts. Not with the whispers she keeps catching between screenings. And definitely not with the way a few familiar faces seem a little too eager to control the narrative.

With tension brewing and reputations on the line, Parker starts tugging at loose threads and uncovers secrets that never made it into the script. If she can’t connect the dots before the final credits roll, the killer will disappear into the crowd.

A Steep of Suspicion is a Southern cozy mystery filled with small-town drama, festival chaos and one cafe owner who keeps stumbling into trouble—served up with lattes, sharp wit and a twist you won’t see coming.

All books in the series can be read as standalones.
