Steeped In Secrets: A Cozy Small Town Mystery
She turned a coffee shop into a community hub. But a barista competition is brewing more than beans...
Six months after solving her first murder case, former investigative journalist Maggie Porter is settling into her new life as owner of Brewed Awakening in Harbor Point, Maine. When she agrees to host the prestigious Northeast Regional Barista Championship, she expects fierce competition—not a dangerous treasure hunt with roots in Harbor Point's shadowy past.
As coffee experts descend on her shop, Maggie discovers her own family has deep connections to a century-old smuggling operation centered around the town's historic lighthouse. When notorious coffee critic Jordan Everett begins suspiciously researching "The Dutchman's cache" instead of judging latte art, and competition equipment is mysteriously sabotaged, Maggie's journalistic instincts kick into high gear.
With her lighthouse-keeper ancestor's hidden botanical treasure at stake and a desperate developer willing to do anything to claim it, Maggie must follow a trail of historical clues before the final round is called. Aided by the handsome Detective James Cooper, her loyal friend Olivia, and Harbor Point's coffee-loving locals, Maggie races to protect a family legacy that could revolutionize the future of coffee worldwide.
Perfect for fans of Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse Mysteries, Lucy Bowen's Seaside Café Mysteries, and Ellery Adams' Books by the Bay series, this caffeinated cozy combines small-town charm with a rich brew of history, a dash of romance, and a perfectly crafted mystery.
The Perfect Blend Mystery series delivers a rich, full-bodied cozy experience that will leave readers craving the next cup!
