When Krissy Hancock and her best friend Vicki decide to open a
bookstore café in their new town of Pine Hills, they decide to call it
Death by Coffee, after Krissy's father's most famous mystery novel.
Little do they know how well the name fits...
On their very first day of business, Brendon Lawyer huffily takes his
coffee...to the grave. It seems he had a severe allergy to peanuts...but
how could there have been nuts in his coffee? And who stole his
emergency allergy medication?
Fortunately, Krissy's love of puzzles and mysteries leads her not only
to Officer Paul Dalton, but also to many of her new neighbors, who
aren't terribly upset that the book is closed on Brendon. But one of
them is a killer, and Krissy needs to read between the lies if she wants
to save her new store--and live to see how this story ends...
