Harper Lane thought running Brewed Awakening in the quiet town of Maplewood would be fresh muffins in the morning, lattes at noon, and a steady stream of friendly regulars. But when a cranky food critic drops dead after sipping her new espresso blend, Harper’s dream turns into a nightmare.
With her reputation—and her café—on the line, Harper has no choice but to investigate. Between juggling gossiping customers, uncovering long-buried grudges, and dodging the sharp-eyed local detective, she soon learns that Maplewood has more secrets than she ever imagined.
Armed with her reporter’s instincts, a notebook full of clues, and plenty of caffeine, Harper sets out to clear her name and catch the real killer before her business—and her freedom—go up in smoke.
Perfect for fans of cozy whodunits and small-town charm, Espresso Yourself is the first book in The Coffee Shop Detective Mysteries, a series that proves murder and lattes are a dangerous mix.
