Death By Vanilla Latte

"Plenty of suspects keep the story moving" in this tale of a literary agent who just drank his last latte (Kirkus Reviews).

Ever since café owner Krissy Hancock settled into a relationship and—mostly—forgot about old flames, life has become surprisingly serene. Too bad her father, famed mystery writer James Hancock, had to pay an unexpected visit to Death by Coffee and brew up a batch of trouble...

With Pine Hills divided over her father’s innocence and an obsessed fan keen on locking the author away for safekeeping, Krissy must end the madness and identify the real criminal—even if that means meeting an ex or two along the way. But as her social life becomes increasingly chaotic, Krissy may be caught in a case that’s far too hot to handle...
