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...
While caught off-guard by her dad's presence, Krissy never dreamed he'd
become the biggest murder suspect in town. But that's exactly what
happens when James's 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 father's 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 that's far too hot to handle...
