Cuppa Chaos: Cream and Sugar Cozy Mysteries

by Melinda Craig

Starting over in your forties is never easy. But Grace isn't your average gal, and she's more than ready to chase her lifelong dream to a new town, preferably somewhere far, far, away from her ex. If only he would get the message and stay away.

Grace knows how to make the perfect brew, and she knows she can turn her coffee-making skills into a living with the right chance. She's found a beautiful start and pulls into her new town filled with hope, but hope melts away as danger moves in.

When Grace starts receiving threats that escalate one by one, it becomes clear someone doesn't want her there. Still, despite the danger around her, friendships are born, and Grace finds a connection she didn't expect.

With dead bodies, threats, and new friends, Grace must face her situation head-on and decide if she made the right choice. If she doesn't take matters into her own hands, she may wind up dead.

This midlife coffee-fueled mystery is filled with laughter, suspense, and a healthy dose of hot brew! If you like coffee mysteries mixed with humor and clues, this is for you!

About the author

If I started with anything, it would be my love of books and writing (to me, you can't write without loving to read). I digest as much fantasy and cozy mysteries as I can get my hands on, which is probably the main reason I write in those genres.

I am a mom to four beautiful and sometimes rotten children, which makes early or nighttime writing a must in my world. I spend way too much time on Pinterest looking at office ideas for a writing studio, author notes, tips, good book suggestions, and a thousand other things! I read a lot, and that about sums it up.

Entertaining cozy mystery. I can see the characters growing in future stories.

Acquired Kindle edition when offered free on Amazon.

Fiction for grown-ups does not have block paragraphs.

How does one "quirk" one's head?

Ich fand es ganz süß und es hatte eindeutig einige cozy vibes aber es war viel “und dann tat ich das und dann machte ich dies” 😄 auch die Auflösung fand ich etwas random.
Ich werde die Reihe nicht fortsetzen. Wer Lust hat auf eine süße Geschichte zwischen dicken Fantasybüchern, der könnte dieses hier probieren 😊

Loved this book!

This is the first book I've read by this author and I absolutely loved it!
Grace is a great character, and Spence, Bev, Jaren, Rachel, and of course, Max bring this book together.
I'm excited to read the rest in the series.

I enjoyed this so much! I can definitely see why Cuppa Chaos is the title. I cannot wait to continue onto the second book and be with these characters again! Such an easy, fun read. I love how this was such a fast read, yet you felt like you knew the characters and could picture this small town so well.

ENJOYED

A good read! Clean story with lots of "nice" people in it, without causing confusion about who was important to telling a good story! Looking forward to the next book. Thank you Melinda Craig!!!

Fun Read

Nice simple cozy mystery. Seems like all the cozy mysteries have a divorced women; wondering why they can't just be single. However, this was an enjoyable read and the "treasure" was a surprise.

a cute short mystery

This was a nice change of pace from my usual thrillers and I really enjoyed it. Not too complicated. I want to read more like these.
