Mocha Madness: A Sarah's Secrets Mystery - Book 3
Book Three of the Sarah’s Secrets Mysteries
Highly Commended at the iaminprint 2025 Competition (Cosy Crime Category), Mocha Madness is the next seaside mystery in the Sarah’s Secrets series.
A rising star. A glittering festival. A show-stopping mystery…
Southsea’s Glorious Festival is in full swing, and café owner Sarah Meadows is taking her newest venture — coffee van Tallulah — on the road. With Charlie and Robyn serving espresso (and charm) to the crowds, it should be a celebration of music, community, and summer by the sea.
But when rock star Jake Cross collapses mid-performance in a haze of smoke and screams, the music grinds to a halt — and suspicion takes centre stage.
With thousands watching and no clear explanation, Sarah finds herself drawn once again into a dangerous mystery. Was it a tragic accident? A pyrotechnic mishap? Or something far more sinister hidden behind the festival’s bright lights? As whispers ripple through the crowd and secrets smoulder beneath the surface, Sarah follows a trail that leads behind the scenes — where rivalries run hot and someone has gone to deadly lengths to stay in control.
With loyal Labrador Missy close at heel, Tallulah at the heart of the action, and time running out, Sarah must uncover the truth before the killer strikes an encore.
Warm, clever, and full of seaside energy, Mocha Madness is a comforting British cosy mystery packed with amateur sleuthing, festival drama, and a community where danger lurks just out of sight.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Raisin, British seaside mysteries, and character-driven cosy crime.
A bustling summer festivalFamiliar faces and a determined amateur sleuthA mystery that deepens the series and rewards loyal readersFree to read with Kindle Unlimited.
Continue the Sarah’s Secrets Mysteries — where coffee travels, crowds gather, and secrets never stay hidden for long.
