Mocha Mayhem

A Seaside Wedding. A Dream Catering Gig. A Dead Body?!

Scarlett swore this last-minute wedding job would put The Cozy Café on the map—but she never expected murder to be on the menu!

With her sisters by her side, Scarlett finds herself tangled in a whodunit filled with secrets, scandals, and suspects who refuse to talk. Even the sheriff struggles to crack the case, and the fear of another murder lingers over the picture-perfect coastal town.

Money, family feuds, and hidden motives complicate the investigation, and to make matters worse, a close friend is keeping secrets. Can Scarlett untangle the lies before the killer strikes again?

Meanwhile, George the cat is not thrilled about an unexpected guest—and he's making his opinion loud and clear!

The Cozy Café Mysteries serve up charming small-town sleuthing, family drama, and a dash of humor—with a delicious sweet treat recipe in every book!

Perfect for fans of culinary cozy mysteries, amateur sleuths, and whiskers with attitude!
