Death by vanilla latte - alex erickson

Ever since caf 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.

While caught off-guard by her dads presence, Krissy never dreamed hed become the biggest murder suspect in town.

But thats exactly what happens when Jamess boorish agent--a man he allegedly fired just hours earlier--is found cold and lifeless, a still-warm vanilla latte resting by his hand.

With Pine Hills divided over her fathers innocence and a fanatical fan keen on locking the author away for safe keeping, 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 thats far too hot to handle.
